Another book I got today had an article on one of the most influential street/show rods. This car set the standard by which T-Buckets were built for years. I'm talking about "Kookies Kar" from the TV show "77 Sunset Strip". It was built by Norm Grabowski. The book is "How to hop-up your engine" and is dated January 1962.  See the article here: smg.photobucket.com/albums/v521/mrtc4w/Kookie%20T/Marty |

Must have been an early build. Marty |

But you can buy the DVD: www.tvdvdstore.net/77-sunset-strip-dvd-collection.htmlI'm sure Best Buy or somebody has it in stock. Marty |
