FIFYI wasn't around for any of that, but that's about the level of modified "stock car" racing that I'd watch. They were still based on street cars, and the drivers would fight it out.
Also, I love the "Winged Warriors", and Fords answer the Talladega and Spoiler II. Borderline cheating, I love it.
It's interesting to see some of the early design cues that have been reincorporated into some of the later model cars. Like the dual side by side headlights, with a modern twist, and the grill protruding forward from the rest of the front end and scooping down below the bumper line.
I was actually making a comment to the way a car guy sees a project car. If they're at all like me, they tend to see it for what it was, and what it could be again. Rarely do we see it as it is at the moment. Been there, done that, at least a few dozen times...
If I were a betting man , I say the engine photo is actually from a Red Oldsmobile , but the Delcotron did come along much later, with it's buddy the Sanden style A/C compressor. But the 58 Bonny is unreal !!!
One might also say that the "Oldsmobile Rocket" engine probably isn't original in a Pontiac either.
