Thats your idea of a beater?

Wing,

Thanks for posting the pictures,

I agree, That car looks much too nice to be a "beater" should run around mid 13's in the Qtr. In the mid sixties I use to run my old MW car at old Irwindale.

Now I'm told they moved it and it's 1/8 mile. Closed Lions, closed LA raceway, Closed San Fernando

closed OCIR Oh well.......That's progress At least you have a place to run your car!

Great vids! Love the car. If your car is a beater, then my Charger must be beyond hope!

Thanks for the kudos guys. My Bee definitely photographs better than it looks. I love the fact that its a little rough and it doesn't have its numbers motor so I dont feel bad about whipping it. It sure is fun to drive. Restored cars have lost their fun for me. I find more often than not I like project cars especially in original paint (like mine) or primer. My wife tells me that my favorite color is primer.

Calif. changed to the Light Blue plate with Yellow letters/#'s sometime in the 70's, allot of Black plates with yellow Letters/#'s, got tossed when people, sold & re-registerd them, then they changed to the white refected background plate, to help the cops more easilly catch more of the crooks & Liberals...LOL..., that are always running away from them, you can see the white reflective background plates, from a much greater distance...LOL... Finding a car with it's original Black/Yellow plate is gettting much harder & harder to find anymore...
