Russ is a great guy to deal with OI.
Tommy Ivo is still around and going strong. He built and ran some great cars over the years.
I believe that he was the First guy to break the nine second quarter mile back in the day with a Gasoline powered twin engine nailhead. Seems so slow now....

That's "TV Tommy" Ivo! As a teen I saw his Quad-Nailhead powered dragster at the drags & it smoked all 4 tires all the way down the 1/4... no idea how he could even see with all that smoke?!?

Yes he is, bought all the parts for my Nailhead from Russ :)
Be prepared to be on the phone with him a while, if he like you cause, he will talk your leg off :D
 
Great information, I just purchase my first Nailhead. I will be picking up a 55 Buick Century with the original 322 Nail still in it.
