Bruce, scanning the article would be cool. Easier to read than me trying to tell the story.
It's a pretty cool piece. One of the autos with the Hurst auto stick. Still had the CBW after all these years, but when we pulled the cover we heard the clink of teeth hit the pan. They had also welded a track locator bar on the rear end. They just missed the stamping by a fraction.
Thanks goes to Marlin for this car coming to Ia. and to Bob Mclurg for the article.
Jensen's been a friend of ours for a long time. I'd like to say something nice about him, but can't really think of anything nice.
And yes the CTC motor did come from Bill E. Bill has the pearl white/cortez silver "ten seconds to heaven" deuce. Very cool car.
If you're in Ia. this coming weekend, the deuce will be at the Monticello Ia. car show along with some other cool cars.
Stop by and say hi. Schonye
