alan, tried to send a pm to you but says you have allowed your # of them. just a short note to say enjoyed talking to you on the phone and thanks for spreading the word to ralph and sam. let me know please that they arrived home safe and what you think of their 57 documented drag car. regards, lin

Just to clarify and update this post, I did not buy this car but thought about it seriously after talking to Lin. I then called Ralph Alix and his brother here in Tulsa. They bought it and as of yesterday 4/28 they were on there way back to Tulsa with it. I just put all the parties together and I get the benefit of seeing and maybe even working on and playing with the thing once it's arrives at it's new home. Should be cool! Spending other peoples money is much easier

Alan, Did you pick up Lin's '57 yet? I'm hoping to make a trip to his place and get his .080 over 292 short block with Jahns pistons I have spoke to him on the phone a few times, seems like a really nice guy that I could learn a few old tricks about Y-Blocks!!



Thanks for your time,

Brian

well, things work in mysterious ways. I am glad we talked on the phone. Sounds like this old FORD maybe headed to Oklahoma soon! Going to be fun to see this thing first hand. Hope the deal goes through well.

Any Idea on price? I would love to see it go to one of our race guys. Maybe Gordon Payne! It would save him a lot of building. Chuck
