Dave, Having owned two 64 sport fury's in my life, You nailed that front end pretty good!. Those are a beautiful car anyway, and they look super as a racer.

How can you not love purple and yellow, triple seven and the driver's name emblazoned on the car?! Thanks for the musical education, I'm also a big Social D fan (got a rat rod Sprite with Ness's Woodpecker cam logo and a "Goldtop Sprite...), I probably heard Robbins on the radio growing up in Missouri in the late 60s but was too young to appreciate him.
Looking forward to this build.

Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2015 8:54 pmYeah, Dave, I remember Social Distortion. My eldest had one of the early bones and martini t-shirts. By the time he knew why I gave it to him, he already had a reputation at school. I always wanted the Old 97's to do Big Iron, but the ultimate would have been Nick Cave and the Bad Five, on the same album that had Staggerlee.
My friend in Texas was the daughter of Dave Pinkston, who had the first AM rock station in Texas, which was almost completely rockabilly. She had loads of big glossy photos of the people her father promoted on the station, and one of them was Marty Robbins, whom she said was a very sweet man who treated her like a princess. There was also plenty of Buddy Holly, Elvis, Claude Perkins, Little Jimmy Dickens, the Everly Brothers (whom she said were the most polite and gentlemanly boys that ever came through the station), and dozens of others. Its hard to imagine what she went through as the teenaged daughter of a station owner in the 1950s. Those photos have more poodle skirts in them than a California school bus in 1956.
