Another build thread? Yep, my track-style T

Don - Yeah, we held off of pre-entering because of the "Centerline" style wheels on the rear of my son's sedan, but I saw some late model billet style wheels on a lowridin' custom and lots of valve covers & other accessories that were not "pre-1970 traditional" as the rules said... It was still a great show and we did enjoy it. I also picked up an ornament for the front bumper of the roadster. I've been wondering what I should put in there; I found the perfect thing. That's all I'll say for now until I show it welded in place, but I got it at the vendor that had all the flame-cut pieces...

Dave - I grew up in Indiana where there is lots of sprint car racing and my dad, fortunately, loved sprint cars and midgets. We frequented many of the short tracks like Winchester, Salem, Terre Haute, Paragon, 16th Street, Speedrome, Indy Fairgrounds, and others. I was an A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, and Sam Sessions fan. My "outlaw" heroes were Bob Kinser and Dick Gaines. Man, could those two put on a show! Here are some old sprint cars just languishing at a friend's place. None of his stuff is for sale, though...
