Bootleg Liquor: White Lightning and Popcorn Sutton

I have had moonshine once about a year ago and thought it was decent. I think it was from the Carolina's and was clear. It's not a liquor to age. Must be fresh distilled to be at its best.

I recall reading somewhere that Richard Petty's first hot rod / shine running car was a '49 Plymouth Business Coupe that he dropped a 265 Chrysler flathead six into.

I've got an all stock '49 Plymouth Special Deluxe four door that I've been tooling around in. It had been parked in a warehouse since '74 when the original owner overheated the engine and detonated the ring lands off of a couple of the pistons. I dropped another 217 Plymouth six into it and headed off into the sunset.

I've got a 250 DeSoto flathead six that was rebuilt before someone yanked it and dropped a modern engine in their car. The DeSoto and Chrysler six is basically the same engine, just a different stroke. I think that I'm going to drop it into the Plymouth along with a vintage Borg Warner electric overdrive and make my own version of Petty's shine runner, albeit with two too many doors.

You got some Petty Blue paint laying around?
