    Went to a local car show today. My buddy was there with his 67 Mustang (restored) & Death Rod (home made). I helped him finish the Death Rod for it's debut, at the Good Guys Car Show, earlier this year. Was good to see him & all the attention his Death Rod gets. It has a Boss 302, with manual Hilborn Injection (old school). His Mustang has 4 Webber Carbs on it. Had a great time. Here are some pictures, enjoy!

    I remember that episode. Seems like they uses actual race footage from reels.
    I remember having a magazine when I was a kid that featured that coffin car
    and the Munsters Mobile. Someone gave it to me. May have been Hot Rod, can't remember.
