Thanks Glen. I am surprised, this car looks much better than most of the cars that I have seen that Ak built. It doesn't seem to be the same car I got from Ak. Of course, the one I had was run at the

Thanks for the kind words, but I evidently was wrong on my assumptions about this car. It seems that Fred Larson ended up with this car and is the one he crashed in 1959. The car I got from Ak was a

According to an article that Tom Burkland forwarded to me, Fred Larson purchased the car and installed a Chrysler in it. This is the car he crashed in 1957. The car I got from Ak was a later front e
