    The photo was taken in 1990 at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run.

    Scratching my head,,,looks familiar! Not sure if I saw a pic or the car! If I saw the car,,, must be closer to Pa. If the brain lites a fire, I will let you know.

    I seem to recall some pics of that car in a Summit catalog advertising some of their parts. Might be worth a call to Summit.

    Is that not Jamie and Tyler Miles Dad's car? :hmmm:

    'Seem to remember their dad had one like that some time ago.

    From one of Jamie's first posts: " Anyways, If you guys want to check out the car my dad had that recently sparked my intrest, check out: http://5hp.hill.cc/hotrod/index2.htm (dead picture link) That car was in the May, 1998 edition of Popular HotRodding magazine. He sold it several years ago, I sure would like to know where it's at now."

    I go to a lot of the shows in pigeon forge and to most of the rod runs since the late 80's and never seen that one.

    Hey M.A.V.
    Quicksilver is my car, I have had it since 1989. That picture was taken in 90 or 91. I was looking at the photo gallery last night, when I saw my car. That felt pretty good seeing my car on this sight, there is a lot of nice cars here. I was just curious who took it, and if I could get a copy. yyy

    Nice, SG. It's great that you've had it that long.

    Do you have any recent pictures? Can you tell us about it and it's history?

    Hey Rick Still learning about how to post pictures and such. Give me a few days to figure out pictures. AS for history, Learned some expensive lessons on the street before deciding the track is where it's at. Ran lot's of local tracks, Greer S.C. Shady Side N.C., Ware Sholes S.C. Bristol TN. then came new house, so put on back burner for some time.
