Arapaho is retired to street/strip
Making progress getting my car (Arapaho) back to looking period carrect as when Gene Calhoun campainged it "back in that day" Still have steelies to put on front and dog dish caps..It ran in NHRA C-stock when I worked on it.
Was very successful to boot. It won't go now....but hope it looks cool.!!  No more 10 second passes or wheelies.... Apologise for pics being a little dark

Looks great, Troy. Nice to see it again. You've been relatively quiet lately. Now I see why.

Great car
Love the body lines on that car, and the double barrelled tail lights.
There's a long trunk one like that around here that is a beauty. It has a record player on the front hump, 3 color interior. Greg |

It's looking great, Troy! Thank goodness you came to your senses and didn't sell her!
 Any plans to run her as is for Nostalgia events?

Really appreciate the kind words !!!!
Jeremy I will just run Arapaho as a back up car if some happens to GP. I have a back car...not a back up motor... I found this pic of car and Gene I took several years ago.....he pleased.. Just to put a face with a name..
