FLASHBACK 1964
This was an exciting time, as the speed equipment aftermarket’s penetration of Motor City really began to take off. The classic example is Hurst, whose floor shift-conversion business exploded after Pontiac anointed the four-speed shifter as standard equipment on 1961 Super Duty Catalinas. Not coincidentally, cofounder George Hurst worked harder at self-promotion and was better at it than any of his peers.

Bill “Maverick” Golden's wheel standing Dodge A100 borrows off-road tricks on the track
What makes Bill “Maverick” Golden’s Dodge A100 fascinating is not the list of exciting parts on the build sheet but, instead, what’s been removed. Back in the May 1965 issue of Four Wheeler, we got up close with the rig that was, at the time, called the fastest truck in the world.

Wrap Your Ass in Fiberglass
I love fiberglass—it’s easy to work with and it smells really good. I’m okay as a steel fabricator, but when it comes to gluing a car together, my experience goes back to 1960 when I was 8 years old and built AMT’s 1⁄25 scale 1932 Ford 3-in-1 kit as a fenderless highboy with a blown 392 Chrysler for power— Hemi Firepower that is.
