43 years in a barn, but it had one hell of a racing career before hibernation







Looks amazingly good for having hibernated.. about the only thing that indicates true age are those slicks.

Mike Bamber's old "Silver Dollar" A/GS 1940 Willys

the engine was being rebuilt in it, to make a few passes on the Nostalgia circuit, when a guy teaching his daughter to drive plowed into the barn, missed the Willys, but hit the engine stand and knocked the engine over - cracking the blower case. Lucky that no one was hurt, and that the truck was missed completely

Things that caught my attention at the Primer Nats

BIG signs!

Gauges? We don't need no stinking gauges!
well, it can't be easy to find the right window handles...
excellent set of gauges!




Willys Whippet badge, rare. Finding it on this hot rod, cool.



Love the above gauge pods





Good place for a tach!


Cool trunk!






That all the colored inserts are carved with flames has me thinking that they are all aftermarket



How unsual, Essex headlights on a hot rod!












Some really fundamental early hot rod pieces... basic scallop, wire rims

Pinstriping on this lever panel is sweet!
Lincoln dash is just huge... not a good proportion though
Wow. Never thought that a car like the above would have a blower.. that's a Caddy I believe




Two cool Mercs





I've no idea what Y.M.I. Los Angeles is about... anyone know?
