That would be Canadian F1 driver Paul Tracy.

My dad had a number of the four bangers, and they all came from different machines. One came from a combine and was stuck, one from and aircraft tug, another was attached to a generator. The rest were just lose engines he managed to find, and he got them all running again. We had toyed with the...

We have a show similar to that up here near Barry Ontario. Huge! My dad and I camped there for the weekend back in 2007 and I could not see it all. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this show for sure.

I quit school at 16 to take a job as an apprentice mechanic. I got two months training and was left alone doing front end alignments on everything from daily drivers to transport trucks. One day I'm doing an old Ford Econoline van (new at the time). The final step is to center the steering wheel...

I'm just going to leave this here. I thought it was pretty funny. :D

Yes you can. Complete front clips from 48 too 52 F1's are interchangable.

Getting close to finished.

Very cool rides you and your buddy have, and a very interesting choice of bodies to use. Nice to see something other than a model A once in a while.
