I want to share with everyone about the best day any hot rodder could have.I have a friend that just turn 70. He is paralized from a stroke on his left side and confined to a wheel. He always told me of the days he race and car he had built.Well yesterday we finally found pictures of his cars,motorcycles,peddle cars and small scale cars he had built. Also some old drag pictures from National Trails. He said this is what they called it back then. He has own cars from Studebaker,Simca,Tall T,Packards and ect. The Henry J is the car he used to run. He says he has more pictures of gassers and the Little Red Wagon. The 57 Chevy picture is when he finish doing the chassis work. He told me the 57 chevy ran the low 13. He told it wasn't fast enough,so he turned it in his tow vehicle for his Henry J.I will post more pictures when we find them. I could on all day about the stories he told. I know every would rather see the pictures. So here they are.
Hell man, we want to hear the old racing stories too!! Though for starters this is damn good!! Way to go, shake his hand for me. Doc. PS, I have seen that J before?? Anyone??
Man, I love the Little Red Wagon. I remember having a model of it when I was a kid. I remember setting toothpics under the chassis to make it look like it was "popping a wheelie" and I also would leave it flat and add pulled apart cotton balls to make it look like it was burning out. Thanks for the pics & for bringing back good memories!
cool old photos , thank your friend for letting you share them , would have been neat to see some launch shots or action photos
