Neat subject, I've always liked that stuff too. I have a few I can add... :rolleyes: This first one isn't quite the "cowl", but I like how Tom...
Agreed. Reading about the Surfers team in Car Craft and other mags of that time, their "mystique" was pretty well cultivated but the results spoke...
Done, appreciate the heads up. Changing passwords should probably be a regular maintenance item but most of us don't give it much thought; we get...
I could very well be wrong, maybe @Moriarity can confirm? I believe it's a re-creation of the original. Regardless, it is an absolutely beautiful...
Plenty of cool jewels in this thread. But I'm a bottom-feeder. Nothing to see here but a greasy mid-60's vintage 283 and a bare 283 block stashed...
Congrats on 20 years. 61k posts. Wow. Do you ever sleep??! :D;)
I have no pics of the famed '40, but I do have a shot of some Bob McCoy artwork. You can see his signature at the bottom of the cloud of tire...

Pretty much covers it. :D
Cool car, thanks for posting. Here it is in action at the 2017 Meltdown Drags. In looking at the Bangshift photo posted earlier, it appears the...
You can also find Stanley Wanlass bronze sculptures tucked away in several places around the Speedway Motors "Museum of American Speed" in Lincoln...
I know very little about it, but according to this article (from a link on Stanley Wanlass' website) that's the process he uses: Art and Books by...
#3493, if I'm reading things right. So although I've been around here for a while I'm not real active. Following my...
Too bad there's a lotta red "Xs" but some very cool garages here too. This one isn't fancy but it's mine. I have more room than normal this winter...
You guys are my heroes. :)
That is one helluva resource.
I've had the chance to read through this issue, and I'm going to give it a thumbs-up. I especially liked the "Looking Back" section with thoughts...
From some of my past rides, now they're taking up space on the wall of my garage... :rolleyes: [ATTACH]
Yep.
Couldn't have said it any better. I just grabbed my issue out of the mailbox as well, looks like this one might be a keeper. Looking forward to...
There are some cool signs here, interesting to see all the variations especially the older ones. Hand painted signs are the best. Did this one...
"... yet utterly gut-wrenching to watch." I can believe that. Had not heard anything about this documentary, thank you for the update.
[ATTACH] Anybody else (@Bandit Billy :)) notice that classy glass receptacle on the firewall? :D (Photo by @Almostdone in post #31) Thanks all...
That's my understanding. If you click on the link in my post above it should take you to the Speedway website that has the info. Or I'm guessing...
Assuming you found the photos online? Petersen Publishing archive? Wonder if whatever publishing conglomerate owns the rights to the photos now...
It has now merged/combined with the Museum of American Speed (Speedway Motors museum) in Lincoln Nebraska. Starbird Rod and Custom Show - Speedway...
There's a piece published in one of the Rod and Custom Street Rod Quarterlies and penned by Tom Senter that many are familiar with. He chronicled...
I have a friend who used to say that "black is the absence of color". ;) Have had several black vehicles - both our '39 Fords were black. This...
Saw it in the staging lanes at Cordova. No one around at the time and never got a photo on the track. Cool car. [ATTACH]
Congrats to @mcmopar on the hard-earned win. Great to hear that! I did manage to snap a couple of pics of him along the way at Byron and Cordova...
