They had aluminum bumpers on those cars, but still fairly durable.
Cheers

Haha OF, but wait there's more!

I read somewhere about a story where Graham Hill had an off in the Monte Carlo Rally and damaged the left...

Robin Tanner had a set of those on his 39 Corvette Ford Coupe.

Love those Webers Ken. Cant choose which ones I like best!
The 63 Vette split window is such a beautiful car, it was my favourite when I was a kid and still is.
Keep well
Cheers

Ford was playing around with the 221/260 block and developed some variant racing engines in the early 60s. I have some literature on them somewhere, they did a lot of modifications and it was a very...

The diff housing has all been rebuilt to how it should be, beautiful job and fits like a glove thanks to Tim at The Krysler Shop.
I have stripped it back and repainted the housing and fitted it...

On to the last bits of detail, finishing the dash gauges that the Monte Carlo Rally cars had, This was how the G Hill & I Walker car was set up, Each car was a little different. I still need to get...

Nice Ranchero Ken, 1965 grill with 1964 side trim. Not sure if they came like that in 65.

Cheers

Daytona Coupe, very cool machine, fantastic race history, guess its a repop?

The early 260 & 289 Cobras are a very nice shape, I personally prefer the original AC design shape of that era. As much as I like the big block FE 427s, the shape was lost a little with the big...

Great shots Ken.
You are so fortunate to get the pics! And we even more fortunate to see them.

Great pics Ken, Those Porsche's would be worth a few bucks today! The lotus 40 above is very cool too, Would they have had a 351 Cleveland engine in 1967? maybe a 351 Windsor? Great pics anyway!...

On to the dash and gauges now. The original Monte Carlo Falcon of Graham Hill had the radio removed and a set of gauges and switches located in a custom panel. Graham Hill and Ian Walker had no Music...

So my diff housing has been away getting rebuilt back to the original 59 Ford dimensions in order to keep the car correct.
The axle tubes needed to be cut off and replaced with the correct length...
