Well my first car was NOT the one i wanted , I had my eyes on a 58 Ford two door with a 352 4 bbl . My mother did not like it and SHE found a 56 Ford Rag top that was owned by a old school teacher she had in high school . And that is what i ended up BUYING with MY money . It has a 292 four bbl. and a automatic .Along with power steering that i hated . Well the four Bbl gave way to dual quads and 312 blower heads were added along with and ISiky cam and a mallory dual point and head man headers and a Detroit locker . It as faster then the best 283 around . But i still hated that car . Kept it a year and tradeed it off for a 61 Ford Sunliner that had a strait six and a three speed that gave way to a 352 dual quad and a four gear that gave way to a hand built 390 tri power that was born from a bare block bare heads and a 391 ford truck crank with gt 40 rods and a Custom built crowler true roller cam and all sorts of perverted goofy ideas never tried or heard of before . And ended up with a monster that looked like Maw's grocery getter , super quite and even keeping the stock hub caps . Bad enough to lift the ft wheels off the ground when coming off the line at 6 grand. NOW that car i loved and was not afraid to put it to the mat . some said i was crazy in my driving most would not ride with me . Learned early on that hey ya know if a clutch blows that it can come thru a scatter shield and slice the steering shaft like a knife and remove the master cylinder off the fire wall and poke big holes thru the hood , make big dents in the floor boards all the way back to the back seat . and made engough power that a brorg Warrner T 10 four gear would blow under full throttle when hammering the gears . Had to up grade the transmission . . I had some really nice Fast cars back in my youth , and my love for pony power has never faded . If the factory would not supply ample pony power then we would just have to IMPROVE on it .

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
