Purchased from a post here on Yenko.net from Kevin Suydam...So long ago I don't remember...

The 'Russ Dumire' former NHRA stock class record holder.

Until an hour ago, I had never driven the car...today I DROVE it to it's winter resting spot...yipee!!

We remember what happened the LAST time this car was driven..right? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Another great inspiration for us guys w/ projects to get finished!.

Hey Sammy, Like the way I got the front end 'sky' jacked???

Everybody sez what the hell is going on...and I get wood every time I see it!

It is so high I had to put ball joint spacers in it and remove the snubbers!!

2 cool! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Plans to letter it?

Jim Ferron · #10 11-06-2011, 01:13 AM

Yep, It will be lettered back to original when everything else is done. I'm getting to old to restore cars. I beleive this one will be the last.

You can see some resto pictures at my site..I haven't updated it in YEARS as I'm not in touch with the guy who built the site for me
