Here is a photo progression of Mighty Mouse returning to Little Hoss, from 1997-2000. The roll bar and back half modifications made by Lloyd were left untouched when I owned the car. I installed an NOS 302 1967 shortblock and GM crossram. I had a hard time deciding on how to restore Little Hoss and chose to restore it as it was when it ended its career with Fred and Helen Gibb. Helen told me it looked as good as when they ran the car, when I unveiled the car in 2000 at the 2nd Fred Gibb Memorial Car Show, in LaHarpe.
Those who were around in the early 2000's watched me run Little Hoss at the Wentsville and St. Louis SuperCar reunions. I was able to run against Ken BarnHart at Wentsville. We both threw fan belts together! I was also able to run at KCIR in 2005 before the track was closed. In 2003 I was invited to the 50th anniversary of the World Series of Drag Racing, held at Cordova. Herb won Stock Eliminator at Cordova in 1968. He said that was his biggest win in Little Hoss. The last picture is from that win. It's hard to believe it has been 30 years since I found Little Hoss.
