| Thought I would send a few photos of my latest, a 1947 Ford Coupe. It has a 302 punched .060 over, automatic, Weld wheels, 9″ rear with disc brakes all around. The body and interior was done by Streeter’s Hot Rod shop in Monticello, Iowa and paint by Townsendge Auto Body in Manchester, Iowa. | ||

| Here are some more photos from the top of the hill in Monticello. This time I’m asking for any info on the two cars I picked up this last year. The first is a 1979 Ford Fairmont know as “Sneak Snake”. The car was built by Bill McDonals from Dubuque, Iowa. It was raced and shown in the Eastern Iowa are. At one time it won the Best Engine award at the 1985 or 1986 Street Machine Nationals. Since then the little red car has had a couple of not so gentle owners, but the paint and pinstriping aren’t too bad for being over 20 years old. It still gets the looks and took 2nd place in it’s class at the All Ford Show this summer in Dubuque, Iowa. Next is a vintage race car. I really have no information on this car, but had to have it and now am rebuilding it to go racing. It is a 1938 Dodge Coupe, Chevy 250 six cylinder, 9″ Ford rearend. I was told it raced back in the sixties. Of course it had the crude, “build it with what you got” rollbar and crossmembers. Replacing with up to date roll cage and all the stronger and safer “Keep me alive” equipment needed. So… if anyone out there remembers anything about either of these card, or, here I go reaching for the stars… might have photos. Please contact me at: [email protected] … There is racing past for both of these cars; the stories need to be told… thanks. |
