My buddies mid 50's midget he just finished restoring. He's going to hang it on a wall in the shop over the 914 V8 he races. All of the bits and pieces attached he made by hand. He did the paint too. I met him for breakfast this morning with the guy who sold it to him. That guy's son raced it when he was 6 or 7 and his best friend was Jeff Gordon who he raced with as young kids. The guy I had breakfast with is life long friends with the Gordon family. I asked if Jeff Gordon ever drove this car and yes! He had wrecked his midget before a race and borrowed this car.
This is the original owners '36 Ford he showed up in today. Rack and pinion, disc brakes on a Mustang II chassis with a modern V8. Extended the cab and fenders, exquisite. Both of these guys are true craftsmen.
