Couple photos of how it was done back in the day...

Great candid shots of a Kearney Bowl (Fresno, CA) supermodified being built. Probably around 1965, judging by the tires.






Thanks to Harold Bolton for posting these (and a bunch of others) on his Facebook page.

 

Kewl!

 

Thanks!!! Thats BadAss!!!

 

Thanks, that is so cool! Dad was doing the same about that time.

 

Yeah, pretty rare to see the car being built anymore.
I'll see if Harold has any more and post them if I can.

 

Thanks......sends shivers up my spine!!

 

cool,my family was always into racing-sometimes you forget what real racing was all about or how we got here,

 

judging by the guys haircuts I'd guess a few years earlier than 65

 

It's possible... I believe all these photos are of Marshall Sargent, a hero driver in the Valley for years. I went back and found a 1965 photo, and the car appears to be much more "cut-down" than the one in the build photos. There were also photos from 1960, and the car in those was larger, so somewhere in between, maybe?

 

I think that is Marshal in the bottom photo nealing down facing the camera. He was from San Jose, do not know if he ever lived in Fresno. Great photos.
