    I had actually forgotten about this thread since I had started the other for the restoration. I thought I'd throw a few in here for prosperity! It's been a long time coming! IMG-1980.jpg

  18. After reading the title of this thread @VA HAMB I get the feeling you’re going to be sleeping on the couch for a while. Just sayin.

    Thanks,
    I have a high res copy of it. Jim's brother Doug gave it to me to scan. This is in their back yard. This is Jim and his brother Doug. The garage is still there. i towed the truck right by it on the way to the show last month.

    Jim called the other day and gave me a box with some old Hot Rod Magazines in it. In one I found a 4x5 negative of the truck at Richmond Dragway. I was able to copy it and am very excited to see the image!! Thanks Jim!!
