I was lucky enough to befriend Forest, but only after his Jr Stocker days. I met him in the 80's and visited his dairy farm and his 'barns'...
Another great one!
Great to see you again! Seems we had some unexpected gremlins pop up on the track today. Still got to make several passes to give us some good...
I raced at Columbus several years ago, and raced at Bowling Green last year at another event. By far my choice is Bowling Green. Even with...
What are the actual dates and what is the car year cut off to race?
Gotta change the plugs and change the oil and we'll be ready to go!
I can remember with Smith's was 'On the Square' and run by the old man. Ronnie moved the place out on 129 in the late 60's or early 70's. Damn...
Sweet! As you might can tell by my avatar, I'm partial to that color. Mine was ordered from the factory with the tri power, but with an...
What's the story on this one??
I don't know when they closed there, but I raced there as late as the late 80's or maybe the early 90's. I've got some crude VHS tapes here...
Thanks for the pics. Was already to head that way and yesterday my driver had an emergency in the family. Hopefully see ya next year.
They put an Olds head on a Pontiac block?
Sweet!
Yea, they look better for your car. And you did well instead of paying $120!
The break line was right above the grab bar on a 65. I can't remember if you have a grab bar on a 64 or not. Let me see if I have a pic that...
Looks good. But you realize that the upper part of the dash is supposed to be a 0% gloss, with a 'suede' texture. I've got the PPG formula here...
Love it! I had a 65 2 door sedan a few years ago. But please do away with the cheesy 'ebay' sticker on the air cleaner. Those were for Buicks....
Great post. Can't wait to see it finished and your dad taking another ride!
I love your Radirs. I've had them on the front of my 65 GTO for a couple of years now. Same size, 15x4.
Had all intentions of being there, but my helper and driver got called in to work at the last minute. Hopefully next time!
Another problem would be the company itself. Are they even going to be around by the time you need them? Collect the premiums for a few years...
I didn't get to go this year, but got a call from my best friend on Friday. Seems his 32 roadster with a Caddy engine scored in the TOP 25 and...
You lucky dude!
Years ago when they first started, Cruise In's were just informal get togethers in a parking lot, usually on a weekend night. Sometimes a...
Holy Crap! That is nice! But I don't know if it is $32,500 nice or not.
All loaded up and ready to go racing this weekend in Norwalk.
Back in the 80's I had a 62 GP with a 63 421 HO engine that someone had put a 63 'super hydramatic' out of a Bonneville in. The had to 'massage'...
Man, don't expect much. Sonic burgers around here aren't very good at all!
, Actually, the GTO was an option which included trim AND engine in 64 & 65. In 66 it went to it's on model. And you are correct, the option...
