Hi: My name is Mark (Oly) Olson, 57 years old, semi-retired farmer. I dig most souped up cars from the teens-60s. My first good car was a 57 Fairlane 500 with straight axle, 390FE, C6, hood blister, American 5 spokes. At 80 MPH, it would float all over! It was a handful to drive but it was sooooo bitchin! It was last seen in the Madera-Modesto area 30 yrs ago. Been collecting basket case cars, engines, tractors ever since. Finally, started building up an early 20s Dodge Bros roadster with blown 426 hemi (the "cancer car"). Been working on this car for about 6 yrs and hope to finish it this year. Been lurking here about 6 yrs; this is a great site, great people, great info- it's like getting a new car magazine each day.
