Yes, Cal's car is a very nice car, it's been a bit of a disappointment to him though, his plans were to run the old SS/AA class against the Darts and Barracudas, but they changed the rules on that about the time he was ready to compete, his car would be competitive in that class, lot more glamour running those SS/AH cars.

Big Dad, never have seen Cal's car tarped, he's pretty proud of it.

I'd like to see pics of cage design , etc
etc.

Does Phil Mandella have a web site ?

Is that an 8 3/4 I spy under there??? How in the heck do they get those things to hold up to that???

Oh, BTW...wheelies on 9" slicks are cool!

Wonder why Rayburn went with a hardtop instead of a sedan? Inquiring minds want to know!

That car was built by Joe Smith here in Dallas
then the Teutons had it for awhile

Not sure how he ended up with it..

I believe Cal Percy purchased Les Norton's A/SA white car and redid it in the orange and black digs to match the SS/AA car. I saw this car when they were putting it back together up in ID at Cal's shop.

The Percy's are good people.

Some observations about the previous threads.

Percy's cars are drop dead gorgeous!
Rayburn's car is too cool!
Painter's car was formally owned by my old friend Wes Leopold Jr.
The single 4 barrel HEMI is a bogus combination. No criticism ment to Les Norton, but it is bogus.
Mosbeck's car leaves as hard as any Max Wedge stocker I have ever seen. It now has a Dana 60.
In comparison Shaul's car is much softer, but is faster, different set up I guess.
I wish I knew where my old '64 Belvedere hard top is now, I sold it to Shaul about 10 years ago and then sold it. It was red and had FRANKS INC. on the doors and Ridgerunner Speed Shop on the quarters. Anyone have an idea?

real max wedge 426 425 4speed aluminum front car

Tim,

Does Mark still own the car?

Needs a lightweight front to offset the weight of a million stickers

I know most of the guys you have posted about,all great cars and people,I used to work for les Nortons engine builder.I don't know anything about his hemi 65 stocker,what is bogus,just curios.He also owns an a990 plymouth.Awesome thread' may have mine running early spring.

In my opinion the single four hemi combo should be ran in the CM class for crate motors. Not in the same class as the crossram cars.
Thats whats bogus to me.

Jason,
To clarify my "bogus" comment. Chrysler obviously did build a single 4 barrel HEMI B-body in '64 - '65, but to my knowledge they where NASCAR package cars, all hard tops, 4 speeds and no hood scoops.
The current rage in NHRA Stock Eliminator is this '65 version of single 4 barrel HEMI sedans with A990 hood scoops for A/SA. Someone came up with documentation to validate this with NHRA, in mine and many opinions a "paper combination". I don't mind too much as I am a MOPAR guy. But like the Shelby Mustangs running A/SA it is another bogus combination.
Sorry if it was a long winded explaination.

I was way off. I do agree with your thoughts.

gotcha,I did'nt know how that was a 'legal' combo.

Her's a nice Dodge, can't remember the guys name, car is out of Calf
