Title: Vintage race car
Post by: larrym on July 27 2014, 05:23:14 PM

So I was at a local car show today and this was my favorite.
56 Meteor with a drag strip heritage.
Super charged very cool car never seen a setup like this before like a modern pro charger   
All of the tracks this car raced at are long gone. We race at the Alberni airport once a year 1/4 mile and there is an oval track the holds 384' drag races 1 or 2 times a month. If I was to own a vintage car it would most certainly be something like this with a drag racing history!

Very cool! We rebuilt a ton of those 312 Fords...and I always got the call to resize the rods...they have a full floating piston...and |'d rebush the pin end.
