As New,every chassis and suspension pieces were Show Chromed ....same plating is still immaculate.
Ray Jr has added a few newer items keeping the original concept intact. He also runs a ProMod car and just last week took the Win in a big meet in Ohio.

This 55 Hardtop was nasty looking , But WICKED NASTY Sounding with sub 300 inches of 14:1 Compression and a High Duration Big Lift Roller.
A Race car since who knows when.....as a Kid I saw this car a lot, Chained to guide posts and telephone poles in the owners Rough neighborhood of Hazelwood ...yep. "hood" ....lol
The "CREEPY CRAWLER" has the same owner,racer
for the past 45+ years.

My favorite was the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 55 Gasser as a Kid

Me too. That '68 Chevelle is the epitome of "Day 2". And the old Modified Production cars are certainly BAD ASS!!! I'd love to hear that '55 at about 10,000 rpm.

Oh Yeah !!!

When a sbc of some 280-290 inches blasts crackling sounds gaining heat , is nothing but mechanical sounds of harmony......... yep....to hear a gasser type/modified production motor at 1,400 rpm idle is a sound No Big Inch Small Blocks of today can put a patch on its own ass.

Raymond & Sammy's Chevelle is understated as the Epitome of Day 2.......too bad the original M-H wrinkle walls and Stahls weren't salvageable.

Maybe I can get some Daylight shots underneath from the lift.......

Any Western Pa Guys recognize the
"Sheffler Bros." ....Broughers Speed Shop owners Early flopper with Injected Hemi ?
GATES SPEED CENTER was a Big Time shop for its day. ..Connie Kalita the Bounty Hunter used Jackie's shop as a Home away from home for his Fuel Funny Cars and traveling buddies.. West Homestead,Pa..

With 'OLDS POWER' !
other notables are the Opel Kadet of Jimmy Varracali. Jim Boborka's record holder 69 Z/28 converted to 255 horse 350 .....the 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 55 Post....
