Always loved Hagen's paint on his 65 & 68 cars. Unfortunately Barton crashed the 65 hard years back. It was stripped of the A990 stuff, but I hear the body is still around (what's left of the original shell anyway)

He was in the process of restoring the car to stock condition but he has shifted direction and the car will be restored to as raced in the late 60s. Great news TENSION will be at Old Geezers show & go next weekend. It will not be finished but will be in the show. Also got to chat with the owner of Inbomber 57, he might be interested in bringing back the car for next years Geezers, This would be awesome to see both cars go down the track side by side

I got to meet Don at the geezers race, watched him autograph the dash of TENSION 57, cant wait till next year when we can watch the car run down the track at MAM

Two weeks ago we had a reunion between Gayle Hetrick and his CAPN CRUNCH SUPER CAMARO. Steve Britten brought the car out to MAM to make a few runs,

I understand that's Bill's Machine & Supply. He installed higher compression pistons in a 440 for me several years ago.

That would be Bill Vice. He and his sons are still in business with Bill's Machine. He still does my machine work.
