Bruce cracked the whip and I got busy. My boys and I had some fun this weekend video taping the Savoy making some noise and smoke. Dad’s fun was driving the Plymouth, my boys’ “fun” was shooting the video and teaching (dense) Dad to edit the digital video tape. We headed out to a relatively remote area of the Sonoran Desert so as not to bother anyone and here’s what we got....

Making dBs and CO in the S/S!

P.S. Special thanks to Mick, Keith, and the boys!

Good eye Ken

! All four photos are all dated July 17th 1966. This was when Jerry Z had the car.

When Gordy raced the car in '62 the tracks required him to send his exhaust to the perimeter of the car with a set up like below. I recreated it with his inputs. It reminds me of a jet aircraft for some reason

. It changes the pitch of the Max Wedge to a more throaty, satisfying sound

Bob - I was wondering if any of the locals would know Beil's. Gordy owns it and operates it and his son and several other workers are on the payroll. I got the grand tour which was a lot of fun. The attic is like a maze and holds an impressive stock of vintage cloth/vinyl/leather. He has some very rare upholstery, vinyl roof, and convertible top material in his storage facility. Some of it dates back to the 20's and 30's. Plenty of sixties/seventies stuff too

. He is very proud of his business and is in the process of turning it over to his son.
