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

Just curious... Were the ladder bars still filled with "lead"? They used to be....also front fenders were really "thin"...funny how that acid works..lol. Also, I had a Miles trailer..,they were nice. I bought mine new through Mike Daughety..Performance Sales.

The lime green car was from South Omaha....Pollish (Poland ancestors) great guys and could really drink beer. I believe they called the car "Concoction" It has been long enough ago, we can probably tell stories,..lol. That car had an Olds rear end...with a "Pollosh Locker" (ya need a welder to make one) I also think they were the first ones around Omaha to use canted - angle plug heads...really helped them....also, the car was noted to shake or wobble the front wheels after the burn out.....lol. I've got lots of stories if ya want more...lol
