1934 Ford, Four Door sedan . . . brought to me in SoCal for my 15th birthday (a surprise gift) from my favorite uncle. Had a running 59AB in it and some really janky hydraulic brakes (reworked from original ones).

Of course I took it ALL apart . . . and built my first high horsepower "race" flathead - 286 cubes. The engine block came from Kenz and Leslie in Denver. The first cam was a Weber F6. Here is a picture of me and the car - in front of Mom and Dad's house - must have been about 16 or so.
