New Photo Series- "Echoes of Thunder"

[LUKE'57]

Ran across a somewhat "doctored" shot of a model I built for an old friend that's gone on and thought I might work up a series of photos to honor some of the drivers I've know down through the years. Yeah, I know, anything to keep from having to build something new.

Well, anyway, here's a model I built for one of the local "legends" who raced from the time of the flathead coupes, and with the likes of Fireball and Buck into the days of the wedge dirt cars. There wasn't much about a Ford he didn't know and, like most early racers, if you were his friend there wasn't much he wouldn't do for you and if you weren't, you'd better have your own watch if you wanted the time of day.

Garland, my old friend, I hope you know that you are well remembered.
