Cool build!!

Quite similar to the modifieds I watched a couple of times prior to attending more regularly in 1969...
Just can't remember if i saw them once in 1965 and once in 1966, or both times in 1966   :(
But do remember a lot of them had the same style exhausts like your build.

Super clean beautiful work, Pat. The smaller one looks awesome as well.

Title: Re: 50's modified
Post by: pdaly28 on September 25, 2017, 06:10:58 PM

the smaller one is pretty close to the yellow and white couple The pink lady is a piece of racing history in the northwest.Art Surgi owned several "pink ladies"this was the first,The last was an indy car.

  I love both these builds, but the pink one really is a blast from the past.
  I do think I would put a Bardahl decal over the STP sticker on a '50's super. If STP was even around in the fifties, they were a relatively unknown. Bardahl owned short track, largely do to there jacket give away program. I know one old racer that stipulated in his will, that he be buried in his Bardahl jacket. Great builds, great paint, perfect stance, what's not to love.
