He’s just throwin it out there, just in case, right? Some have refused to sell parts overseas but Johnny is no joke and it won’t be a problem. Hope he will post a vid that I saw recently of his motor running on the chain drive mag! - Chris, in Boulder

That is how I read your post Richard. Seemed to me like you just wanted to be second in line, sorry if it came across like I was being sarcastic. “The Vultures” would be a cool name for a car club, or softball team or surf rock band tho…
Now, how about that engine vid Jonny!?

Found the rest of the information for the above picture. In searching I found more recent pictures of Mercury axles that wer dropped on speedsters and only a few not dropped. Couldn't much but perhaps someone has the article Hap mentions

He's a time traveler Frank. The History Channel knows all about this.


Jonny,

Congratulations on finding the axle. When I first saw your wanted ad I thought, "Good luck! No way!"
Have fun!
