Sorta different trophy

I've gotten many trophies over the years in the '61. This is certainly one of the more unusual ones - hope the parts are from a Ford.
Got it this afternoon.

That's cool Frank! Much better than some plastic do dad. So it's for the '61 and not the '63? His left foot is bigger than his right.

Yeah '63 was down today for a dipstick tube replacement and a new temp sending wire with the correct insulation... Minor stuff I'll finish up tomorrow.

Yep, I was toying with the idea of joining them at the show, but Nick came over today to work on his dist.

It didn't go too well........it needs more than just a tweak (Petronix related).

Congrats Frank. That's a great trophy for a great car.

I need a faster car so I can get that 2 hour ride to OT down to about 30 minutes! It's a fun Cruise Night.

Last time wife and I stayed overnight next door at the Seralago afterwards and drove home Sunday morning. We need to do that again sometime.

If you bring any of the cars you've restored Rich - I'll be knocked out of the running pronto

Frank, you got that award because you and the car deserve it and you drive it everywhere, no comparison to a fully restored queenie that'll sit still most of the time.

I, like you and your '61, drive my "semi-restored" '59 everywhere, even in the rain.
