[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 1110269, member: 21514"] You might be thinking more of Dennis Gage of My Classic Car. Leno does know a lot but has a complete staff he pays to do his resto work. He really seems to go for the odd things and stays away from mainstream stuff that's easy to get parts for. He likes the challenge to his wallet and his mind I guess. As far as the new muscle whipping old muscle....I'm not a big believer. The old muscle was let out of the factory with sloppy tolerences. We used to machine, balance, re-cam, etc., etc. We did things back then in our garages that factories do now to the new muscle. I knew local guys who would make it far at the U.S. Nationals in the stock classes with 8.5-1 compression motors. A few could pull the front wheels with 3800lb. cars. I remember 4cyl. Iron Duke Novas running in the 12's. [/QUOTE]
