3 reasons to go read the Nov 1963 Popular Hot Rodding magazine. Larry Wood, Barney Navarro, and Bruce Crower were all adding content. Who do they have now at PHR, and would you even care?

If you aren't familiar with who those legends are,
Larry Woods is the designer for Hot Wheels and has been forever, plus, recently he made that cool Spartan trailer and COE http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/05/most-impressive-hot-rod-truck-and.html
Barney Navarro was the genius racer / flat head parts designer that also made a hospital artificial heart pump, and a 700 hp 199cu in AMC slant 6 for Indy racing, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/02/700-hp-199-cu-in-amc-rambler-straight-6.html
and
Bruce Crower is the genius race car engine designer (flat 8) that invented or improved roller cams, cranks, etc that Garlits and others use, and was a chief mechanic for Indy cars. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/06/crower-legacy-display-at-crower-1st.html

Coolest car I saw this weekend, was at the 4th annual Crower Annual Open House and car show

the above photo was included for anyone wanting to know what a Lenco transmission looks like

Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen have restored both the Mongoose and the Snake haulers and race cars, and brought them to the annual Crower Cams open house... reunited after 4 decades!

Crower legacy display at the 1st open house and invitational customer car show

I believe the above was advertised, and I'll post that when I get it worked out

Cool stuff from Bruce Crower's garage that he let the show manager pick out to display!

More on this flat eight later, I know I have some stuff on it in the works!

More on Bruce Crower's involvement in Indy 500 racing... I believe I just read an article that mentioned he was chief mechanic.. I'll work on that too, and post a link when it's up

This is the coolest engine display I've ever seen, nothing but the moving parts! That would be the coolest garage display wouldn't it!
