    Just picked up a 57 Chev from near Greensboro, NC. Putting in a Roadster shop Revo front end, LT-1 eng/ trans combo, maybe the rear axle. Don't have to finish this one, just set it up!

    NICE! Although, I am a little disappointed we wont be seeing pictures of the "finished" product! :D

    Your cousin Richard, as in THE Richard Petty? Awesome!

    Nice Featherlite trailer, Russ. Probably the best quality aluminum open car hauler made today. I want one real bad, maybe some day.

    The museum is Richard Petty's, newly relocated back to the origional race shop. It isn't officially open yet, but they let us wander through.

    The featherlight belongs to a friend. I am fortunate enough to be able to use it whenever, in fact, I use it more than he does. It is a great pulling trailer.
