Let’s see, that’s two counts of failure to yield, one count of reckless driving, one count of criminal mischief, one bourbon, one scotch and one beer. Have a nice day. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Scritchfield with Car Craft project car. Joe Gemsa’s T and daughter. Joe had the Gallivan head patterns and cast and machined the head on this car. Don Thelan Kent Fuller dragster chassis fabricator supreme, with family.
I remember most of these from the Hot Rod year book. The dark green T sitting by the surf has always been a favorite.
Going through pictures this evening and I came across the Austin Bantam pictured above. I owned about 50 years ago. When I bought it the car had been in a wreck and needed a new frame. I paid $650 for the wrecked car. I had Jay Ohrberg who at that time owned a shop called Mr. Roadster in North Hollywood California (later sold to Speedway) built me a new frame out of the same tubing. I reassembled it and kept it for about 3 months (I didn't fit in it. My legs were too long!). Not long after that I saw in the local paper that the parts were for sale. It got wrecked again. They wanted $50 for the quick change. Boy was that a long time ago!
