This is the Hard Times Ram Air I 4spd. Firebird being unveiled at MCACN in November 2017. A great combination of Truman Fields and Ellison Engine Service. Truman and his brother (Dennis) both came for the weekend. They used Dennis' RA I as the tow vehicle. Truman is wearing orange, Dennis next to him in grey flag shirt and myself in black next to Truman. Ross and Billy are peeling back the cover.

The car was restored to '73 Indy winning livery, first of its Indy Stock wins. It won class every year at Indy from '70 through '79 plus a few other times later.

Truman helped us obtain the original magnesium rear spyder wheels and fly fronts. Even the 10" spyder wheels with actual tires from Indy that season. Thanks to Todd Hoven for giving those up, and even better coming to MI to deliver those and many other important Hard Times historical items, including NHRA trophies, silver platters, Truman's custom helmet...

Truman donated his racing jacket to go with the helmet even (a surprise). The fantastic stories, the time Dennis and he gave to my wife and I and the visitors was very much priceless.

Thanks to Truman, Ross and Todd helping this become a finished product. No way it would have happened without all three of you.

My humble contribution, Mr. Ellison could make anything fast. Thought I had another sticker for the rear window on my recently revived GTO. He did the short block in 05 and I have about 1k on it now. Yeah, it took a while.

Tom was funny, Mike was too. A friend and I stopped down the shop to ask what was done to a 455 in a Firebird my buddy bought. We described the guy, ear lobe holes, some kind of pins in his eyebrows, tattoos. He goes you bought Hoseclamps car ? LOL, what a nick name, we were rolling.

Mark - Thats AWESOME! What history with Truman and Hard Times. Thank you for sharing the photos you have. I have been collecting and posting many pictures to the Ellison Engine Service Facebook page.

John- Thats hilarious , they were both really funny and great guys. I worked there a few years so I was lucky enough to get to know them

Tom was a GREAT man as was Mike. Genuine great guys
