Well after over three year of hard work on my old race car, Dave Gibbons has now finshed it. Dave entered his first race event (Summernationals) in 27 years behind the streering wheel of the car he would sell me back in September 1984.

This was the day I arrived back from England with my then new race car (Feb 1985) after Dave had replaced the rollcage with a taller one.


This is the car after a three year rebuild April 2011...


As you may see in the picture the Model T it now running with a big block 468ci Chevy, instead of the small block 331ci Chevy we both ran back then.

Dave was happy to let me help take the car apart on a visit to England back in the summer of 2008 to start thing going and check everything over for the rebuild, plus start making a list of parts needed for me to send over from the states to help out on the project.
The last time I sat in the car

This is Dave striping it down


Dave has done a wonderful job of rebuilding this race car which now has a new chrome moly frame (A copy of the old one) so the car is up to current spec. He was kind enough to ask if I would like to drive the car on a visit in the future, I told him that he should build the car just like the way he raced it with the low cage which always made the car look really cool.


These were taken when the car roll out the workshop for the first time with the body repainted in blue on the new frame in 2009
