Check it out old schoolers - SEMO Mike's Mopar

Postby HomeRacingWorld » Sat Jul 12, 2014 8:40 pm

So Mike from SEMO is one HECK of a builder. He has a way with chassis builds like I have never seen. Need a chassis? How about you start with aluminum window sill material? Well he does...with a vintage twist.

My photo is a little blurry but you folks that know these old powerplants will know what it is.

Makes his own wheels, makes his own tires to ice the cake.

Well done Mike, and the story of you meeting Gary is priceless.

Well done sir Ol'Skool. Nothing like recycling old stuff into something new. Not sure about the tank on the track though?? I gather you dont take kindly to "strangers" winning on your turf. :D

Is that a Pittman or a Palmer? I'm guessing Pittman, but its been a long time.

That chassis is awesome,butt the body brings back some great memories for me!
In 1978,I had a red 64 with 413 wedge,crossram,dual AFB's,4=speed with aluminum bumpers no carpet heater radio.
Fast doesn't even begin to describe that car!
