Movie - CALIFORNIA KID

[keithb7]

Today was the first I ever heard of it. The movie popped up on my You Tube feed. I watched and quite enjoyed it. I read that a 1968 Corvette 454 4 speed provided the sound track for the hot rod scenes. It sure did sound mean. 

 

The movie took me back to simpler times. I didn't realize I needed that but it made my day.  It's free on YT if you want to check it out.

Correction. Largest engine in 1968 C3 was a 427 ci.

Did that come from the over-bored 396?

 

I had a 368 with quadrajet that was really a de-bored 427 Cadillac.

Great movie and that car is the definition of ‘hot rod’.   Always wanted a 33/34 three window but the asking price is way outta my price range now.   
 

even rough parts are expensive.   A bare fender would buy my whole pickup!

This is why I’m building the fiberglass 30’s “replikar”.

 

Those Big Swoopy Fenders!

Even in plastic, it’s just so swoopy!
