One of my favorite 40 Fords ever, Ric's 40 is bad ass, it will do a 13sec 1/4 mile and then he drove it to Bonneville. I've spent hours with him in my rear view mirror and more watching his tail lights. He's from Texas, near Houston, in the Outcasts CC down there. Probably spends his time on the Jockey Journal, he's more in to Bikes the last couple years.
He's got a busted transmission right now. Immediately after he swapped that new motor in. I'll see if I can't find interior pics when I get home and post them. Other than the engine nothing has changed on that car. It's still badass and a landmark build.
I hear he has gone underground ala GERM. Gone like a fart in the wind. Didn't see him at the Hotrod Hoedown this past weekend. I guess it happens to internet legendary builders. I do receive texts from him outta the blue sometimes. His last one informed me I was a lesser race than he. He's prolly hanging with Elvis. Sumthin missin.. Sumthin different
Hasn't been on since November, I doubt you'll get very far. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/member.php?u=27
