Hell from Boyertown, PA

[hank37]

Hello everyone, I'm Hank and interested in any thing Automotive from the garages we work in to the building of work shops. I currently have a 37 Ford cp. powered by Caddy motor, a Vintage Dirt Modified stock car with a 62 Falcon body which I drive on dirt tracks. I learned a lot from my grand fathers and father. Liked to hang out at garage next door when I was a kid where I learned to use hand tools. I do all my own work from building motors to car bodies and wood working skills. Starting to slow down as I'm over 72 years young. By the way I missed the o in hello on my thread name , old age I guess !!!

Little later, 1996! My old man was class of 64 though!

We only run at Grandview on a Sun. when the Enduro cars run. Cost gets to high for race , generally run us $195 per race, and hopefully no parts breakage. Next race on May 19 th. at 1pm

Same as mine, Carl Hildebrandt.

He only got to go to BASH his senior year though, went to St Pius in Pottstown until then. Fought my grandfather everyday to get out of Catholic school!

Looks like the Nationals up in Essex via 7 down by killington?...or maybe 91?


My Dad used to run a Roadrunner at Maple Grove, always told stories of putting a 20 on the dash and daring anyone to grab it while going 0-60.....always told him he was full of it!
