I used to race at great highway and brotherhood way ,I am 73 now but xlin the early 70s I met several of the guys from Chinatown I worked at a Chevron station on the corner of post and divesardo I really enjoy this , I had a yellow 64 Vette and before that I had a 63 nova gasser with a 327 and a 4 speed with 488 s
@@BrianFong-ng2ur Brian back then they were called dropped spindles as you may recall Al’s brother in the video did mention that as well, of course now today’s terminology it is to lower the car, I know it’s doesn’t sound right but I believe most guys called them that, my brother put them on his 55 and Frankie as well. Do you remember a few 442’s running them? Maybe Don Chin?
@MrGlenLouie i recall either Roy or Ben Sakai(?) had them on his 442. I rebuilt his 4 speed for him back then. I don't recall Don's cars ( Chevelle/BBC or Canaro/SBC, both 11 and 10 second cars) having them. His brother Ted, had his 55's on a tube w/ BBC
@@brianfong3954 yea to bad there are no photos of those rides I remember back then only the few we have circulating around on the net and personal collections
Glen, thnx for putting this together, great content and memories of yesteryear. I never had a tube axle car but had highjacker air shocks on the back of my car. I remember a friend Ed Woo had a mustard color 66 Chevelle with the tube front end and then he got a 64 Nova copper color with the tube front. Wonder what happened to him? Again, thanks for these fond memories of our youth!
@@galendea1855 same with with me had high jackers on my ‘66 Nova SS, making only $1.50 per hr back then and a chrome tube was $500 just couldn’t justify the cost. Yes I know Eddie unfortunately he passed recently, his Nova was one of my favorite cars back then. Eddie always had fast cars and bikes, we rode together at some of the rides. Goo had a 68 Nova on spindles back then. Yup good old days
Very cool cars. I sure enjoyed the 4 episodes
Awesome collection of photos !! 70's HighRiders rule !!
I remember seeing rods in SF in 1973, badass cars! Brings back memories.
