Do you know the name on the guy from Sweden?

Sorry, Heo, I didn't hear his name. They were still trying to dry the track while the meeting was going on. ::)  He said he brings his car to the U.S. twice a year to go racing. I couldn't even imagine how expensive that must be. It's hard for me to afford the 10 hour drive.

I met the swede last yr and I still can`t remember his name! Doug It turned out it was a fuel pump failure on my 63. My son has a picture of Hayden holding a coleman lantern over at Dan Parsons trailer after the beer and brats party. It was an interesting weekend to say the least. Now to fix the car and do another update for next yr.

Too bad that didn't happen Saturday, we coulda yanked the pump off the truck and thrown on it. Your '63 kinda reminds me of Bills '64, only without the primer worn through. I love that original 'never messed with' look. My wifes '65 is that way, only without the Cool Factor that you guys cars have.

He had a really clean white 63 Galaxie fastback. Totally period correct, very healthy sounding too. Also had a very good talk with Blair Patrick about oiling on a later side oiler, bought a set of modified shell lifters from him for my Tunnel Port build.

At about 5:20 in the video there is a blue 69 Mustang Hubert Platt car - is this the restored SOHC Mustang that Bob Perkins owns or a tribute car?
