I bought a new black over black (red interior) Cyclone in the spring of '70... new car for the wife. She bent a pushrod THE FIRST DAY racing somebody at a stoplight!
Had a 351-C 4V... neat car.
This is the band Venus in Furs vying for the "Best Band Exit Ever" award... I think they nailed it!

Ford finally stated using them in their post-war buggy spring cars to improve the handling in the face of competition from the IFS cars from GM, MOPAR and others...
The show is in the history books... 160 cars traditonal rods and customs along with a few "others" who got in...
The bands were great... The Trashmen kicked ass...
Same date next year.... now the planning starts all over again.
Put a MOPAR torsion bar front end under it...available from Dwight Bond in Gibbon, NE. Bolts on, rides great and is inexpensive.
If you don't want a Ford engine at least put something in with some power.....;)
Just over week to go... :D. We'd love to have some of you guys take ride over and have some fun...Hot Rod Hot Laps on the dirt track Saturday and Sunday!

There is a family here that has four '55/'56 Fords... a couple are CV's. All that color... were owned by four brothers three of which are now gone... but the families still own the cars.
I found a very nice hood for this body at the Iola Old Car Show swap this weekend as well as a deck lid.
I was cruising the swap Friday night (4420 spaces) and went by my buddy Wayne's spot just to say HI!. I yelled out asking if he had any '34 Chevy deck lids..he said "NO!"... but the guy next...
