Somebody probably has an old catalog laying around....Honest Charlie catalog would be fun to see!
Think I have one stashed away somewhere yet... sure did buy a lot of go fast goodies from them in the 60's!!!! There just wasn't a lot of speed shops in Valley Springs, SD (pop. 500 at the time), and the internet didn't work!!!!!
