http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Hey-Hey... Where did that pic of the Rat powered '64 Chevy II come from?? I'd like to see what else they show/say about that car. It happens to be from the same dealer my '64 is from in Van Nuys: Pollard-Ravenscroft.

Pollard-Ravenscroft plate frame wanted post -still wanted. (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/128999/an/0/page/28#128999)

I have the March '66 Hot Rod where they cover Chuck Barnow's 100 Series '64 Chevy II being stuffed with a 396 at Richard Johnson's Fiasco Automotive in North Hollywood. This is a different car and was only used to make towing his rod through the hills easier. -That was their excuse.

I'd like to see what else they did to the Chevy II you posted and steel it's plate frame. Let me know and would you be able to send me a high quality/detailed scan of the pics and/or article?

Thanks, Paul
