    The last elephant I taunted, died on the dyno. Well that's what he said anyway. Besides A.J this HEMI is a Ford. I'll save the MOPAR bashing until it gets a little closer to July.:D

    I gotta get a logo like this... back in the 70's my Scout was labelled the "Elephant Hunter" in the 73 Hot Rod Yearbook.

    Hey...if Boneshaker is too scared to show up and run with the big boys... he can always run exhibition with my little ol Farm Truck... Anyone gotta spare Jerico, clutch and shifter we can swap in for the weekend ??

    The "Hot Rod Reunion" style photo idea sounds great, but having just two types of cars seems like a great idea if you own a 55 or a willys, but not for everyone else. I think if all the cars who make or attempt to make a pass get lined up for a photo that would be an awesome picture.

  14. ...I agree, I just thot that mite be a hard task to accomplish; my first thots were that the Willys and 55 Chevs are the classic gassers, but then others mite not agree if you own a Henry J or Anglia or?

    It would be a tough one to pull off, but imagine that photograph.

    The Scout is on schedule...I hope... If the planets align and the weather holds, I'll be shaking'r down this weekend.

    Thashing like wildmen to get the Prefect ready as well. It may not be 100% legal but it could be / might be / hope its... running and safe for 1/2 passes.
     
  26. Man, I keep looking at this and thinking "It's only 11 hrs to get there". I could pack bologna sandwiches, sleep in the back of the truck and smell real good by the third day...lol

    Or... you come hang with us, use our hotel room shower, swap hot rod stories and partake in a few Canadian adult beverages...if you are so inclined. We're coming 16+ hrs... worth every minute and every dollar spent to get there. We're the idiot Canadians running Farm Truck eliminator...can't miss us

    Swade you should make this event the top of your list for vintage drag events. You won't regret the time spent getting here.
