from Pete: Favorite car. Favorite year- 1974. This was built in the fall and
winter of 1972. We built this one from scratch from two 1965 Ford 2 door sedan frame
rails. The ford frame was pseudo 2x4. The rules then said that you had to use a car frame.
(no tubing) The Ford frame was Jimmy Klim's idea..one of many good ones. They didn't
start using REAL 2x4 tubing until later. It really was just a .060 327. Over a year later, we finally got rewarded! The problem with enjoying yourself that much is that you can't sustain it; then you miss it! |
