Hey Rich,
I cleaned out much of Grumpy Jenkins when he passed. He really was a mechanical genius. I have a pair of heads off one of his Camaros that has 19 HOURS of welding on them. Also have The crankshaft out of his ZL-1 which looks like a piece of art. I have much more, including his plow truck, which he built a special intake for and put a Holley Carb on this little 2.8L v6.

I think it was. Its been a while since I've seen the stuff but i have pictures. Its all on display at the eastern museum of motor racing (emmr). Along with the blueprints from his Vega i found which were sent to him by Paul Prior and a bunch of other stuff like the heads from his Vega, Hoodscoop, his Carbs, and other goodies.

That's cool. I know its hard to believe, but with the new cars and the new wars who's the next, Gibb, Jenkins, Harrell etc. of this generation.

Of course, its all computers and forced induction. But there's still innovation going on today.
