    I love your roadster, I have the Lil pages Rod and Custom magazine of it. Did you ever get the gauges all squared away on that beautiful dash?

    literally the last time I drove my car. on the way to the antique nats in Fontana june 2010 5-1/2 years ago. With me my co pilot el mirage legend Jim Harbor he was in the Redland Hornets in the 40s and 50s he and his brother had one of the first belly tanks to race at el mirage. He remembers jack racing there. he has a 2 inch thick stack of timing tags and is still involved with the SCTA till this day. I was 2 exits from Fontana and my car blew up. Now im back on it . hope to drive it by summer. wish me luck. 2010 Antique Nationals June 6, 2010 Fontana 005.jpg
