Wonder what the R/T time was; couldn't get an idea from the video. And where the "light on" shift point was set on the tach lite. Third gear was way above the first two shift points. That 502 was really revvin' in #3.
I've done all the motor work except the heads. I'm running in the low 10.20's now and wheelstands are an issue. Stetson and MItchell both build great motors around here but I don't happen to have one of their motors.
Not bad for an old retired fart,LOL.Gary has let me behind the wheel of his car and it's the most violent race car I've ever driven and loud as Hell...what a lot of fun! Watch him on the 2009 "retired and I don't give a shit" tour!
My name is Gary Fetters too... kid ya not. And I actually work at Summit Racing, which sells lots of parts for cars like this.
But that is not me. :-)

Never tire of watching Mr. Fetters and his suck-proof seat covers.

XLNT...I love it! My '55 was a second slower and had a small-block, but it was just like this. Mahalo for the flashback, Gary!

Before I read the comments I figured that must be a Stetson or Mitchell motor. Don't those guys build some motors around here? Nice car.
