The oval track racing industry uses thousands of the 727 lowers each year.. But we use an aftermarket low friction upper and lower for the most part.

Yea...I'm doing OK Jim. Still kickin'. Hope you are well...

I had one just like it except it was a brown station wagon with a convertible top and a V-12 Detroit diesel and a 6 speed out of a Ferrari.

Tough business...I was in it for four years. Hope he does well.

Van's used to be an old car junkyard. I picked that place many times buying every early Hemi engine that was easy to get to plus quite a bit of Ford 351C parts. Now that I have a Coronet I have purchased a few things for that project. I also really like the guys at MegaParts...both are kinda...

So this week my wife and I decided to go buy a burial plot in a small local cemetery . I want to be buried...she wants to be cremated. If I go first they will bury me and put my wife's remains in the same hole when sho goes. I'm going to hire a bagpiper to play Amazing Grace and have one of...
