JC had posted an advertisement in the Y Block magazine for Dempsey Wilson racing cams for the Y Block and I beleive his story was similar. The add always amazed me where his hottest cam showed power up over the 8000rpm range, turning the Y's up over that back then must have been a feat.
 55 Vicky & customline 58 Rack Dump, 55 F350 yard truck, 57 F100 59 & 61 P 400's, 58 F100 custom cab, 69 F100, 79 F150, 82 F600 ramp truck, 90 mustang conv 7 up, 94 Mustang, Should I continue?

AussieBill,
I'm a graphic designer in the US. I have a friend from Australia who wants a T-Shirt with the Bert Jones Racing Cams Logo. This request needs to be recreated from scratch and a clean image is required to use as a template. The only image we've been able locate is the timing card you have in your post. It isn't high enough resolution to see the detail and I'm hoping you may be able to scan the image at 300dpi or take a high definition photo and either re post that image or e-mail it to me. Randy.Cates@gmail.com
This is not for mass production it's simply for a T-shirt with the logo of a well respected Cam manufacturer to wear around the pits at the track (bragging rights if you will). Is this something you could supply me with?
Thank you in advance, respectfully,
R.Cates |

Neat stuff!Well, I guess I should update the thread here. I've been waiting on painters (very frustraiting) but the body is in the shop due to come home in a month. (we'll see) and after two months the frame and all chassis pieces are painted and ready to assemble. Now just need time and chrome hardwear. Always waiting.   
 God Bless.  Tim http://yblockguy.com/

Bill, that is a priceless piece of history, hope the old fed got repaired and is still making passes.Glen, sadly no! His son has done nothing with the car despite many people wanting it, he was talking about putting in proposed drag raceing musuem, but dont think musuem will eventuate. At one point i was going to build replcement engine and give to him, but he wont return my calls these days, so i guess i can just enjoy the memories.

Keith, this was his 312, tripower rail he built, allways recognisable by the bell mouthed headers and was show quality build of that era, his son still has the car, it suffered broken crank on last run. I know Tim likes this car.  yyy
