This is one of my all time favorite pictures.....Jim Plimpton's T-Bird won the Hot Rod pump gas drags race in 2008 (well earned).
If you want to see this car up close (and take a ride with Jim as he rips off a 8.0 @ 178mpg pass) check out our new 2008 DVD.

I sprayed both stages and they have never been the same!! Now they drive like me:headbang
Dan, for You-"The World"!!Quote:

From what im hearing the PGD are done. Its like the last Winston cup race, Youll be known for the TRUE last winner even if they fire it up again.:headbang
Well the plans are actually laid out already...Quote:

HUGE engine- with a stick and leaf springs (of course!):devil
When your a dumb ass like me but are lucky enough to have brilliant friends, you can get away with that stuff:thumbsup
Scottie, I gotta admit your avatar made my eyes wet. One of the very few who stood and watched as I painted his car. I miss him.
Merry Christmas to all!!
Jim Make sure you mention to Chris at Napa the Pinks run. I'm Willing to bet he will make parts donations. We do it for others. Give him a buzz after the 1st
Dr Who????
I never got the chance to be in that car :crying...all i got was a ride in the ThunderBird, lol:banana1:.So did anyone see him make his license passes in the Bird?Quote:
