Bangshifting a Model T means stepping of the high/ low pedal  ;D ;D

Cool stuff Heo!  Yes it is shocking when I look at a 25 year old car now vs when I was a kid in the 70's. 

The late 90's cars still look pretty modern and a lot of them are on the road.  In the 70's you wouldn't see any late 40's or early 50's stuff on the road.  They were so old fashioned and archaic!
