Jim, That is one of the best reasons to build the '41! My Dad bought a 1937
Harley 45 new in New York City. That is why I'm hungup on restoring one now.
Sure wish I'd thought of it while Dad was with us. Bob in connecticut
<< Anyway, my dad's first car was a '41 Ford, hence his purchase of this
car some 12 years back. We never got to work on it, and it was given to me
when he became ill a few years ago, so I will never get rid of it. After
reading Sam's article, I remembered a bolt my dad had given me. The head is
embossed with the Spirit car, from the early '60's. Not sure how
he got it, but I know he was at Bonneville for one of Breedlove's runs.
His intentions when he got the '41 was to do a '50s custom. I think he
would approve of a '50's land speed racer just the same. :)
The challenge, as I see it, is to replicate how the car would have been
built for speed back then.
I think I'm on to something here...
...I have access to a straight six GMC engine.
A GM powered Ford?
