Mike Thompson's 32 Ford



I took a ton of photos of this 32 ford 3 window coupe at the drag strip..  This thing was about as amazing as they come.  While the car is somewhat of a fresh build, there is no hiding that the body and current paint scheme is NOT..  Although I never caught a photo with the hood up, it is powered by a 401 Nailhead, 4 speed with a Pontiac rearend.  The announcer at the strip kept calling it a DODGE coupe, probably because of the "Powered by Dodge" on the hood sides.  This thing was an animal out of the hole...


As most know, my dad and I have a 65 Comet AWB B/FX style car going together.  I was able to speak at length to the fellow with that straight axle Fairlane in the background.  Watching and hearing that 64 leave at upwards of 7 grand, pedaling it at every shift to keep it hooked was what I think heaven might be.   That car will be featured here soon....
