Try making a slant six run 1.30 under! Now that is a challenge...........



I also have a 28 year friend resurrecting 58 ford with a 352, it was class winner at the winternational in the mid 60's and been tucked away in a barn since, So there are a few of the younger guy's that are interested in stock
Phil, as a fan of the 57-59 Fords (I still own a 59 2 dr sedan), I would like to see this 58 at Mission someday soon, however, I don`t believe that there are any Fords in the NHRA classification guide earlier than 1960, for S/S, and no Stockers are allowed any older than 1960 either. Will this be a bracket car? If he retains a FE motor, he could run in the "FE Shootout" at the Mega Ford race next year.
