Love the machine shop corner!

Those look like the older FF1600 cars. Are they still powered by the old English Kent engines?

Nice! Looks like you have about 10 lb of stuff in a 5 lb bag. I dig the old FF cars and the machine tools.

Yes, the 711 block motors

Located in Minneapolis. I only race a couple times a year at Brainerd. Have raced at Blackhawk and Road America in past years.

The red car in the last photo is a 1969 Caldwell D9b. The green car is the one that is seen hanging from the ceiling in the first older photo, that is a 1973 Merlyn MK24.

A somewhat unusual sight, both Fords in the shop at the same time, one usually resides in the trailer. I'd like to get rid of the storage bins in the background to free up some more floor space and wall space for signs and race posters. Thank you to those that have provided pics of your storage solutions, I need ideas. I will need to keep some of that stuff in the bins. Will be racing this coming weekend at Brainerd Intl Raceway. SCCA is on the road course, while the drag racers run the "quarter" on the drag strip.

Sweet rides, I picked up an 83 Royal in the spring, it's a different world down there, learning to drive all over again.
