Car pics too cool not to share
- Thread starter Squatch
- Start date
My memory is a bit fuzzy, when did Chevy did out of corporate racing?
Road race, 24hr of Le Mans-ish.
63-Z06 tag, I believe may have been the fuelie 375hp 327ci.
Side pipes. Non-knockoff rims.
Plate frame I cannot clearly make out.
This pick have me all a flutter with hard nipples.
That's the first time I've ever seen lake pipes and bellflowers on the same car. Not sure I agree with that choice. Lakers are a standard, whereas bellflowers tend to be more of an east coast thing, as I understand it. I'd have gone with the lake pipes on the '56, myself.
...and maybe a little bit off Bill Hines.
Here's Bill Hines' "Lil Bat". Not really my style, but the talent is there, regardless.

The history. And old Gene is still about spreading his knowledge to new generations.

Yeah I have seen him on a few different shows sharing his many years of knowledge…. Old school values and comes across as a genuine nice guy
I attended a demonstration/class thing that he did at a car show many years ago. So much talent for one individual to possess!
And selling parts. My dad was looking for a few pieces for his Merc a few years ago and was told to contact Winfield Customs. He called and it was Gene who picked up. He bought a couple of parts off of him. My dad said he was willing to talk and seemed like a nice guy.

The more I look at that car, the more I like it. Personally, I don't like lake pipes, but that's a simple fix. I do think a little heavy flake would look good on it, like maybe the top, just a little something.
Here's a time saver. With this set up I could spend most of my money in one spot.

That's hilarious, man!
The ZO-6 had sinistered brake linings , and a 36 gallon tank and several other performance upgrades that I don't remember.
In racing circles these Vettes were known as " Tankers ".
That he is. Gene kinda sorta mentored a young guy that used to work for me. The kid is now getting a reputation of his own in the custom car world. (I was a lousy boss by telling young Tim to do what made him happy)
Speaking of young Tim, his rod is closer to being finished.
Again, being the lousy boss I was, Tim bought the 327 engine from one of our sales guys based in Memphis. I had a job in s. Missouri, so I picked up the engine on the way back for the kid and brought it back to our shop. I let him rebuild during his lunch periods.
The car isn’t my cup of tea, but I admire the kids’ skills.
A good pic of my new trailer tug.
It sips fuel and is Buster Approved.

A blower and the shortest zoomies I’ve ever seen, he just likes to make noise and a little smoke.
