A Visit With Legendary Flathead Engine Builder Tim McMaster At Hanford Auto Supply

[trulyvintage]

Yesterday was an exceptionally good day.

It ended with a visit to Hanford Auto Supply
in Hanford, California where I met Tim McMaster
the Legendary Y Block engine builder who also
is the Legendary Flathead engine builder.





A quiet unassuming fellow - he came to work
in this building back in 1985 and never left.





Tim’s Dad wanted him to be an engineer
but Tim liked cars - he took a job while
in high school in 1985 and parlayed that
into owning the building and the business.

Tim is the current land speed record holder
for a Y Block at 196 mph - having set that
record at The Bonneville Salt Flats last year.





So pull up a chair and take a visit with me
to Hanford Auto Supply - a 14.000 square foot
building fist built in 1907 - listen as Tim explains
about his Y block race car - see some Stellar Cars.
