Cool picture Mike , here's one of us around 1979 pulling 350 out of a Lemans to drop it in a Trans Am later on , doing it right on the street using three Timbers and a chain fall. Probably not an OSHA approved method

This car was owed by a friend I grew up with, I had many hours behind the wheel. Changed hands a few times and did a cameo in a movie that was filmed around town. Wish I knew where it ended up havn't seen it in 20 years.
Candlelite Cream 4 speed post car, we called it the Yellow Goat.

Another good one. Make due with what you have.
If that were my buddies and I,we would have had $10 between all of us,3 packs of Marlboro,a case off beer,and a radio blasting out WLUP.

Here's an old ad for a speed shop, and a few speed shop photo......





This photo (below) is Don Garlits Speed Shop in Florida, circa 1971. That's the man himself behind the counter.

Are you sure that's the man behind the counter?

Here he is circa 1974, Lakeland International Dragstrip, Memphis Tn.

Seems to have aged a lot in three years
