If you can find some Velvet Touch sintered bronze lining and put some scoops on the back plates, the old Lockheeds will work quite well for vintage airport racing or backwoods rallying.

Completely off topic, but interesting to note that Pete is Ford Barn MEMBER #2, obviously right behind Ryan as #1.

I like that Pete, I thought you were describing my computer. It took me over a half hour to download a picture from my phone, resize it and post on a discussion here the other night. Frustrating some times.

I chuckled thinking of Pete's computer hanging on the wall with the mouse dangling on the side.

When he turns it on, he cranks it a few times and says, "Operator, get me Fordbarn 6-5000."
