We’ve done it both ways.

Your brain says, brain up-hill.

Reality is, it doesn’t matter.

Comfortwise, feet up.
Plenty of room.

Feet down, youre shoulder to shoulder.

Feet down does make it easier for the Mrs to get to the head in the middle of the night ��
Which she will.

nice work Gary , which way do your feet go , I'm guessing feet foreward ?

Warm sand, warm water, warm wind in the hair on a boat… Of all the various gear head ways to have fun, this is the one everyone comes back to.

Thanks for sharing everyone.

I picked up this old CAT minibike frame, straightened the forks, stripped it all do bare metal, powder coated the handlebars, painted the frame, got a little predator motor and have other parts on the way hopefully soon, plan to use it at the drag races to get around the pits.

Very cool.

How fast is the Poncho and what is the motor?
I think I read it was a 455 back in your day.

Bonus points if it's still Poncho powered.

Gator it is a 1966 389 4bbl with TH400, basically stock, small cam, roller tip rockers, shorty headers, 2.5 exhaust, I recently rebuilt my transmission, been doing car shows and not much racing, I did take it to a YouTube event in Missouri on the 8th mile track, it won a few and lost a few, almost got it in the 9s but got flagged for a trans leak, she does good as a daily driver which is what I really wanted it to do.

Very nice!

Really clean engine compartment.

A 389 is a nice piece!

We did the car shows in Dennis Fishers’s ZO-6 TA and then our ‘74 MGB after selling the TA.

Sold the MG to move south so just watchin for now ��

[Talon2.5]

Mr Fun, yep the "Pancho" is the Pontiac, nickname given to them in the 60s.

Here is a pic from the last show I attended, have another one coming this Saturday.

It is no show car though, I just attend for the fun of the shows
