Not too likely, Ken!!!

I guess I didn't really expect (or want?) anyone to try to talk me out of it... It's certainly not mine yet, just some very preliminary negotiations... Trades between Hot Rodders are such a delicate negotiation... We've made each other a couple tenative offers, and are approaching the "let's sit down for coffee and talk about it" stage of the process....

But man, it sure is an enticing little thing!!!!!

On an almost serious note, any idea what kind of times a guy has to run in one these days to be a bit competitive at some of the smaller nostalgia events??? I just can't help but think it would make a most excellent "retirement racer" and a dang good reason to get out of the shop and the garage once in awhile, do some travelling, and have some way-big fun!!!!!!

For that car that guy in Bartlett will probably talk you into putting a 392 in it(see, the distributor is on the correct end of the engine!!!!!!)

Or---I could even half agree with wiz when he gets up----half agree--put TWO ponchos ala Eddie Hill!!!!

Either of my suggestions will make you competitive

Yeah, kind of planning on that!!! got to get the mod on it to have a bill on each end though.....

Here you go Dave, these people should be able to tell you what times you would need to turn to be competitive.

If you want to mod the cap he may have to "BILL" you for the difference.

Don't think I'd ever want to get to the twin engine stage of nostalgia--and it certainly wouldn't be with no Poncho..... The 392 that the dude in Bartlett sells would be my prime consideration....

Guess I'd not be so much into the "nostalgia look" as I would be into a good, reliable, easy to maintain, and more affordable part of racing vs. the sitting around and looking good...

Man, that crazy Eddie Hill dude!!! I was a Texas resident when that crazy kid was racing them Top Fuel boats....think he got into top fuel dragsters cuz he wanted to run a something that was safe!!!!!!

Seems perfectly acceptable to me, Howard!!!! Maybe it was Ercie who talked him into getting into a safer form of Motorsports????? You know how distraught them women can get....

Oh ...... yes ...... you need this. I'm thinking ford flathead!!! with a glide and lots of 97's. Maybe even a nailhead.

Rich girl friends are everywhere---FED are rare

Why back when I was Draft A1, you needed to be married with at least 2 kids to stay out---I had Judith Ann Ford and Marshal Fields 20ish year old widow in mind when Kennedy got shot on Nov 22 putting Jackie on my list with Caroline and Jr--That was a thursday, I was drafted on the following Monday-------

Ross[Kiwidreamer]is a member of Bay Rodders,the club that organises/runs the weekend..SO..pix will be on Kiwidreamer...... ay boy...Who,me? stirrer??

Wow missed this thread! Go for it!!!!! Dave this is about as much fun as anyone could want! Looks like you might be getting a few more bruises in your future from all the G's your going to get!!
