A big "howdy ya'll" from stock car country.

I'm from the land of those free spirited, whiskey runnin', powerslidin' good ol' boys that started stock car racing way back when. I usually build Fords (my daily driver is a '64 Galaxie) but I've got friends that believe in the bowtie brand and I even owned a few myself during some of my weaker moments ;) so does that let me slip in under the fence?

I've even built a few Chevys, like this replica of Ned Jarrett's '61 Bel Air . Here it is in front of my shop with me and Ned when I rolled it out for some photos. I've got some better shots if anyone would like to see some more.

I met Ned and Rex White and spent a little time with a guy named Smokey before he passed so maybe ya'll will let a dyed in the wool Ford guy come play occasionally, huh?

Welcome!

Anyone with as much history as I expect you have will be most welcome to this Forum :).

Say, isn't that a 1962 in the pic? Very nice! I'm quite envious of the photo opp!

I'ts OK if you drive a Ford every day, I'll counterbalance that by driving my '62 409 every day :).

What is you most memorable moment or period during those days of racing?

Cheers!

Tom , be nice to the new member. When he looked at the picture he was posting he could only see the side and front of the car, a view the Ford guys didn't see.:roll
