Bell Auto Parts in LA made the Super Winfield in aluminum a long long time ago. I used to have one.

Here is Kong, Winfield and me in front of Winfields house in 1976. Kong is showing Ed his new front ignition on my B motor. Cook 4 port head

Here is Wes Cooper's roadster pickup with Kong shotgun.

While we were there we got a look inside Winfield's photo album. One of the guys took photos of the photos. Here is one of Winfield in his "T" powered race car

When I was a kid growing up outside of Los Angeles, I remember seeing and talking to Wes Cooper at many of the early SoCal swap meets, early Antique Nationals, etc. "Jiggler" Joe Gemsa was a regular fixture as well and also another really neat guy. There was a loosely organized club called the No Name Racecar Club that used to have meetings at Bill and Mike La Rosa's place in Whittier. It was great to be a kid amongst all these great and knowledgable people.

Wes Cooper, Winfield and Kong looking inside Bob Evans hand built speedster.

Good look at the 2 port Riley speedster

Bob was a craftsman first class

Hi Tod, are there any updates on the heads? I know everyone else will be thinking the same? (I also know you are very busy, but just curious)

I finally got my core quote. I need to get some stuff caught up and then I can get back on that.
