Raced against them many times. Car was owned by Dan Bell and driven by Mark Artis. They called me the "Yankee". Lots of kidding back and forth and fun between us. We hung chrome fender skirts on it once as a joke. The others in the group, Kenny Eakles and Damon Kuhn are still around. Damon built a car in the same vein as the Ford. A 60 Plymouth called Fugly. Both cars were 4 speeds with similar suspension and wheelbase.
Yup, got it backwards. IIRC, Dan had a stake if not 100% owner of the Texas Outsiders shop up in Frisco Tx? Been there once and know Damon. Don't remember why I went to Damon's house years back it but it was when I was planning on building my 66 (as a 67) Belvedere into an NSS car and went to look into his transmission. Think he had one apart and went to look at it. Anyways, he took me for a ride in Fugly and showed me the way it needed to be shifted....even when driving around the pits etc. If you ever came to the Houston track (Baytown), we probably crossed paths or even met.
It kinda surprised me that he got that FC. I keep up with him on FB but haven't talked with him in awhile now. Love the name of the car too and sounds like a name he would pick! After all, it's in line with the Fugly name, right? He told me some years back that I needed to get things done before getting too old. I guess he's not too old yet lol
