Hey Mike, is that an old '42 CJ2A Jeep? My dad bought one in the sixties for 400 bucks. We had to rebuild the engine, trannie and transfer box but made a great hunting jeep. It would go anywhere your b--ls would let you go!  I remember it didn't have a tailgate, just solid across back.

Ted, love the bellybutton engine quote. I'll have to use that  Show was put on by Mingus high school. Apparently fewer high schools today have auto shop classes  and fewer still a hot rod club. Anyway show was to benefit them. Here a a few more shots of the show, 87 cars there and my wife got all Chebbies. 57 Bel air belongs to a friend Bob Hammons, one of the nicest I've seen. I have done a bunch of work on it lately, Good practice for when I do mine in a couple months. 64 Chevelle belongs to my best friend Rick Newlee. Great car he keeps improving on. He is building a new 406 stroker motor for it now. He also helps Bob and I out with all the parts we need made or welded as he is a machinist by trade.

Mike, Rimrock AZ

Congratulations.  ’56 Victorias are always popular at car shows and partly due to so few actually showing up at these venues. I’ll have to believe that the crowds do get tired of looking at cars with bellybutton engines.  Do you have any other pictures of the event in which to share?

I have flown the F/A 18 simulators out at the Navy base, that's pretty cool.
