Cool story Bob.
Thanks.
True enough that a lot of these are tucked away, leaning against walls and hung from the rafters.
Here's one you may recognize.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

The restoration of the Northwind is complete with it's official debut at the Cacklefest last month, where, coincidentally, Ed Mc Culloch was the Grand Marshall. Seems pretty appropriate!

Thanks Bob!!!! Looks like a fully operational museum!!!! Had to of been a blast to be there.
Just went to the Cacklefest sight again. Man, I could spend hours there, and I think first blast of bad weather around here that's exactly what I'm going to do!!!!! (Now I want to start looking for MY old '56 Ford with the CAE straight axle---wasn't an FED, but it was my first full time drag car!!!!)Last edited by Dave Severson; 11-13-2007 at 04:46 PM.

Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
