Hot Rods >>>IRON LORDS are at it again!! Detroit Drag Car Found! 1940 Ford<<<

I think that is the car my friend use to race against at Detroit Dragway in '67-'68. It was blue at that time. They had grudge racing and test and tune on Wednesdays back then. We were there every wednesday. My friend had a L88 '67 red Corvette. The Corvette had "Scatcat" painted on the side at one time.

 

What was the name of the guy in Detroit that had it?

 

Cool note!!! Anyway you could look a little deeper and find some more on it...pics...anything really!! We'd appreciate it so much!

 

Congrats to Skeeter!!! Tell him although a little painful, do not pull that horse shoe out! He has 5 months to get it ready for Steel In Motion at Shadyside Dragway in Shelby N.C. on May 21st. With the horse shoe, it should be ready by then!

 

Maybe but right now he's working on a '50 Ford Coupe which is coming out nice. This one might wait a bit before he gets on the road. Especially since we need to hash how the details and such of it's past. But once he does get working he works rather fast! He already has a new chassis pretty much ready for this car since the one that's under is kind of cobbled up with some unsafe looking welds.

 

you guys ought to be ashamed of yourselvs for smaking the guys arse that bad

 

I AM JEALOUS!!!!!! Man thats killer!! JOKER JASON>

 

Well, it ain't gonna hurt it to park it out back for a while. Damned if that isn't the deal of the year (so far). You guys are just having too much fun (this, Del's chop, JJ's 35, etc.) Guess I'll have to make the next Wed. nite. vic

 

Has he passed away? Look at the "ghosts" in several of the pics.
Better treat it nice. He'll haunt you forever if you don't.
Or maybe he will anyway.

 

That is an unbelievable find! Sonofabitch!

 

Unreal! Congrats on the find!

 

You have GOT to be kidding me!!! A measly thousand bucks!!! KICKASS!!

 

Thief!!! wow nice find, what trans? looks like a chrysler gearbox.

 

Holy crap! That rules.

 

The friend that owned the corvette was Horrie Wiles. He lived in Royal Oak. He died a few years ago. I don't remember the name of the guy that had the '40.

 

Man, thats Awesome. Glad to here he made it back safe, i REEAAALLLY wanted to get over there last night one last time before i head back west tomorrow, but i just had to much stuff to do before i go. Seeing those pics is bummin me out now, i totally missed out!

Can i just say, on the topic of the Iron Lords, you dudes rule, i'm so used to clubs back home and on the west coast in general having such a cool/tough/don't even look at my car attitude, that its nice to meet some dudes that as rad as all you guys, no doubt all this luck is accumulated good CARma, thanks for lettin me hang with you dudes, i'll catch you next time i'm out.

Fu@#in killer!!! --Hopefully there will be pics of this as it gets freshened up!!??

 

I hate your skeeter.

 

I think Skeeter stole it, I just got a call today about my trailer tag number at the scene!!!

 

Killer score with tons of cool parts. You cats are livin' right!

 

Wow! Congrats on the score, another fine ride added to the Iron Lords stable.

 

I love it when a plan comes together..........

 

Very cool. Can't wait to find out the history. You got Detroit in the title, they'll start to trickle in soon . . .

 

You go, Skeeter! Keep it up!

 

JJ's pics are awesome!! Skeeter is a lucky dude for sure. I've lost count, how many '39/'40 Fords does this make for him? I wish I had those kinds of problems, haha!
