That car looks great, Steve! Is that the same paint job from 1979?

       Thanks Doug...The car was in a pole barn fire in May of 85.My $12.00 comp. coverage payed for new paint.Body guy was a racer and happened to have dealt with my insurance adjuster many times.He had close to $5500 in time and materials.

    The truck towing the car had a 360 engine that found itself in the car after I wrecked the first 428.(1981)He went with a 390.I let my dad take the car to work with the 360.He loved it with the 3000 stall converter 3.89 gear.

Always a heart warming tale. What's the story with the early Bronco in the background of the first picture?

Steve, you possibly could have raced against my Road Runner back in the day... We will have to line them up for a picture some day.
