No. I don't think so, Tom. That shop behind Duffy's was kinda small. I don't think Danny did anything like that in that time period.
Bob probably sourced them through a Ford racer, knowing him.

RIP, Danny

I remember an ad in ND back in the late 70`s (I think) announcing something big was coming from Jesel. I was working in a garage and we were replacing timing chains/ gears all the time. Mostly Pontiacs. Then the new Jesel Belt Drive for SBC appears. A belt instead of a chain? Pretty shocking news then.
