In memory of Mr Ihnken: Beau's 59 El camino

[Handsome Jesus]

Hey guys... just got word my best bud here at school's dad died in a motorcycle accident. I figured some pictures of the car he has been building his whole life should pay him a little respect. He was only 45, and just about one of the coolest dads I know.

Everybody be careful out there. Enjoy the pics. May he rest in peace.

btw the car is on bags... that's as high as she goes.

Oh god yes. I want to drive it

 

[Mickey]

Oh man, I am sorry to hear about your friends dad. I totally lost focus by the awesomeness of those pics. Sorry once again.

 

[Handsome Jesus]

Yeah she will definitely be a handful to drive. It's too bad. but you know it's the way he would have wanted to go... it's just not right on the timing though.

the X-frame on the car is boxed front to back, and it used to lift the front tire before the blower even... should be pretty insane now...

Sorry to hear about the accident.

How much power we talking with one of those S/C?

that information is classified guessing prolly 750...

I think the pulley on it right now is a 15% underdrive though. also thinking those carbs might be too small for it.
