RobertKB Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for posting that. I just love videos like this one. It really is as if the old girl has come back alive! Sometimes I do think inanimate objects have a soul. Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I know they maintain originality but I think for events and such I would have a bit of a stainless exhaust extension to protect metal and paint of the body...remove for static display..what a massive belly pan .... Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I would also think the driver would wear a period correct brain bucket Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I do no think they would not allow entry if wearing a leather skull cap.... Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I do no think they would not allow entry if wearing a leather skull cap.... Even for a photo opportunity? The entire run is a photo opportunity. I don't think they push that car to the limit. Spit fire, burn paint and take pictures... 1 Quote
