I always liked the 2dr sedans more than the hardtops. Yours lokks too nice to be a "Thunder Road" replica though. I can understand a kid growing out of a Jr dragster but did he grow out of the sport? GPster

He grew out of the car and used the dragster $$$ to get a car to go to school with. The pic of the 57 is as it was 6 years ago when we bought it. It's getting a total rebuild now. 60's custom style with improvements like disc brakes, new wiring, T-Bird interior.. As far as racing, I work in the race industry, so he is still exposed, just has life happening around him and for now it's work and the '57 taking his time. He did drag race the '57 a few times. He got discouraged when the Jr.Dragster had turned quicker 1/8 mile times...LOL...Valley Head Service built up the 292 now about 306, so he wont get beat by a Briggs & Stratton anymore.

Speed Scene is internet based and older shows can be watched anytime. New show every Tuesday at 6PM PST and replayed at 7PM PST. Here is the link: http://speedscenelive.com/

Still have my coupe, but the Falcon was sold to pay for the rebuilt Y-Block the went in the 57 Ford that replaced the kids Jr. Dragster when he out grew it. I do have a 71 Maverick as well...

G.A.A.S. is the Great American Auto Scene. I do a segment as part of Speed Scene Live every Tuesday night at 6:PM PST. The show is based on racing, but I usually do Hot Rodding, table top racing or people that help shape our sport and hobby.

From time to time I may need a photo of a representative car or truck. I'd like to use cars from this site and it's members. I will ask first.

For those old timers, I held the first RRT Pinewood Derby race and BBQ during the L.A. Roadster show years ago. I'm not new here, just not as active as I was once.

Got any Questions for me, just ask. I want to promote the benefits and people of this site.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into this, but that trans was also used in the Isuzu/Chevy/GMC cab over trucks that were 350 Chevy powered and used the trans and 350 engine even after GM stopped using it in P-ups and cars.

Merry Christmas everyone.

May the new year also bring you health and wealth with a so great car stuff thrown in as well.

Hi There...Long time no talk...It's still a fun car. Was a featured car in Legendary Ford a few years ago. Just added disc brakes and lowered it two months ago. Still mostly all original (exc brakes, wheels and tires). Original spare has never touched the ground.

I've been running Syntec and Edge for 16+ years. It's in all my cars. In my Vette it picked up oil pressure over the Mobile 1 GM spec'ed. Ran GTX before that at got 80,000 miles on a Vega before I had any problems.

It's been so many years since I was here I thought I would post my rides now..Have had the Plymouth 26 years and the Maverick about 7 years.

My little brothers car.

Always enjoyed watchin Louie run the car, jut wished he settled on a class. It is a clean machine for sure.

Last week I drove to Del Mar for Goodguys friday morning. The coupe did fine. 3 hours in rush hour traffic home that evening and and later to Bob's Bigboy in Burbank for cruz night.

Sunday I took the coupe out again just to go get a burger. All went well until I pulled in the garage and shut it off. Just as I was about to close the garage door I haer a "POOOF" and the the sound of water going every where. My 50 year old radiator finally gave up at one of the seems.

Pulled it out and had it rodded out and resoldered up. Installed it Friday night and Saturday cruzed it. Run just like old again. Sunday will allow me to work on other cars... My latest passion is slot cars.. I can have a duce coupe for less then $40.. or whatever else I want and I can race 'em too.

Here is my latest. 1959 Rambler Surf Wagon
