I'm an old guy. Graduated HS in 66. Worked at A&W Engineering in Santa Cruz up by the Wrigley Plant. Middle name is Holman ... We did roundy round cars, parts, engines and drive trains - mostly Modifieds and Super Modifieds. Holman Moody was one of our primary sources of go-faster Ford parts. We also did off-shore power boat stuff for select clientele. We all knew Lee's passion for boats and we'd see them around at some events. Real nice folks and very helpful, as long as you were not looking for top secret absolute cutting edge stuff ...

It's hard to believe this place is still going. This place is legendary!! They built some real cool and fast cars in NASCAR and to be involved with the GT 40 program just puts them over the top. Too bad Kar Kraft wasn't still around which was the Ford shop for the GT as well as the Boss Mustangs.

That McCulloch supercharger he showed you is the same kind I put on my 1960 Pontiac in 1961. I spoke with Lee years ago at Road America Vintage race when he brought up one of their GT40's that was for sale. He also had a really fantastic tricked out Road Racing Fairlane for sale. He seemed like nice guy and took the time to go thru both cars with me. 👍

All this stuff brings back memories. I remember around 1963, walking around the infield in Charlotte with racecars under open-sided sheds because they didn't have enough room to put them in garage areas. Racecars jacked up and engines being tuned, wheels spinning, revving up, etc. Saw some cars with the Holman-Moody stickers on the fenders. A lot to see for a teenage boy.

Back in the early 1990’s I got to tour the original Holman Moody shop out by the airport (now torn down and gone). I had a good friend, Jay Alexander, who’s dad was HM’s attorney in the hay day. Jay knew most everyone out there and we got a great tour. There were multiple building and some really cool stuff back in dark corners. One of the coolest things I saw was a Bud Moore Mustang that was raced in Australia with HM motors. The car was just sitting in a back building along with many other cool vehicles.

What a treasure and piece of history that you can still buy. The old girl fired right up and sounded great.

Holman and Moody are legends that keep legends such as the GT40's alive.

This video is rad. I moved to NC a few years ago and I've met so many people like this guy Paul. Super down to earth and nicest people you've ever met. I keep finding out how much racing and performance history is centered around this state too. I found out Edelbrock is only about 45 minutes from me and now I see this video and the facility is in Charlotte. Very cool.

WOW Holman and Moody still around. My starter Late model was built in the 75-77 by Tiny Lund's crew chief Roger Byers. I race it in 86. It was an old dirt car converted to asphalt. It had no power steering it was rear steer. An old racer came over looked at it and told me pointing out things. I had no idea. The front suspension was old Holman and Moody stuff. I don't have no idea where the car is today. I enjoy your videos. This is one of the best. Thank you for what you do.

My mom, when she got thru med school, got herself a 1968 Cougar, and she upgraded the power train to an FE motor and a Top-loader 4sp. The gentleman who installed the engine did it as a moonlighting gig from his real job as an engine builder for FoMoCo. He told her the valve train came from Holman Moody. Wonder if the cam came off one of those machines?

Holy crap, as a ford nut this vid is a treat. Nothing sounds as good as a well built ford FE big block. Those old 427 blocks and heads are history. It's so cool they are still building real gt40s with the correct 427fe motors.

The ceremony for the last of the legends May we all take a stand for the GT-40.

Dan Gurney was 6’4” and AJ Foyt was 5’6”. When they shared driving duties at Le Mans in 1967 they had seat inserts that they used and would swap out to accommodate the height differences when the driver would get in the car at a pit stop. Dan Gurmey’s seat insert placed him roughly on the floor of the car and that along with the Gurney Bubble allowed him to fit in the car.

In HS I worked in a machine shop during summer breaks. I had a 70 Mustang that I was always working on. If I needed something mechanical for the car I couldn’t buy, I would make it on the same kind of tools (Bridgeport mill, South Bend lathe, …) used in the HM shop. Those tools were bullet proof. I’d love to spend a day at HM helping build a GT.

Holman Moody back in the early 60s were the instruments that advanced drag racing to what it is today in engineering modifications.Fords Charlie Gray used them in secret to build the Mustangs for the drags around 1965 66 without fords brass Knowing,without them there would not be the Shelby and other hot mustangs that we have today.

As I recall, Robert Yates got his start at HM building engines. He was apparently heavily involved in the GT-40 engine program.

My dad had Hollman Moody pit bike. Little 50cc 2 stroke runner. It would do about 60mph. It was Blue with gold leaf, white and black. I believe he said it was a 1976. It actually came from Don "The Snake" Prudome's Drag racing team. He still has it. He paid $80 for it in 1980 at an auction in Tennessee. Incredible piece of Drag racing memorabilia.

Absolutely amazing video. I was lucky enough to work with a guy who knew the HM guys through Nascar. I could listen to his stories all day long. So so cool.

This was video was so informative! I knew they did stuff with Shelby guess I didn't realize the extent. Great content with this video. It was a must share can't wait for your sit down with Lee!

Back in 2006 I talked to Lee on the phone when I worked for Dupont Registry. I was trying to get him to advertise some of the cars they build. He was such a cool guy to talk to.

I saw those blocks and thought just 1 , please just one! The block that ran all out down the Mulsanne Straight. And the sound! Clip a 68 Mustang like a 65 Galaxie add Tunnel Ports and boom tubes. Alarm went off got to wake up. Your channel is a recollection of my youth. I ll never be there and every piece brings back a memory of the FE (390 based) Mustangs, Fairlanes, and the 65 Galaxie with the very high strung 394 FE I built 30 years ago and still makes the neighbors flinch every time I get it warm and whack it. The 780 downleg, balanced lightened components and the compression, a flex of the ankle and how it revs like a 289 only it has the boom that wants to crack the driveway. Back when I could see right, I loved backing out and putting it in D and running the converter up and flooring it and it would burn the tires through 2nd and just get traction and let out and the neighbors would applaud. And this is a fancy neighborhood , cool neighborhood and people. Put 5 gallons of 93 ethanol free and open 2 inch primary and 24 inch 3.5 secondary’s. That Galaxie! Man I wish I could drive it, my wife is scared to death of it. My son won’t go over 5500. He says I’m going to blow it up taking it up to 7500, but I built it and I know what it is in it. Ain’t Skeered!!!lol. I miss driving worse than anything else. That’s a great car! I don’t know why people call them clumsy and obsolete. They must have ridden in a poorly tuned one. The crank in a 390 and 427 has the same main journal diameter as a 351C. My own porting of the 64,352/390 heads after I used a bowl hog and took the hook out of the intake ports and added 2.15 intakes with 1.6 exhaust it gained a real snap. The rods are forged 5140 steel all 8 with the same brinnel hardness as new 4340s. 3/8 ARPs , the crank is an FT steel one lightened and the forged pistons are 1/8 1/8- 3/16 with the top dykes and the 2nd Napier with wider gaps to prevent flutter. All balanced to a gnats behind. The head and main studs are ARP. I also drilled into the main registers and added dowels and in the caps, to prevent cap walking. I have a ladder girdle for the center 3, but the dowels work fine. I have a deep sump Canton pan and the 7/8 pickup with the windage tray and the shelf to control stack up. 9 qts. And I put hose nipples in the valley to let air out and opened the front drains and reduced the rear ones and ran tubing from rear to front to get more oil from the rear of the head and intake to the front for drainage to the sump quickly. 85 psi all the time from 4000 up. 7/16 fuel line and electric pump. I am getting boring, but it is a beast.

If your interested I have a front bumper from one of Roush's Conway Freight truck series race truck's that's signed by the driver, if you would like it I can bring it to you.

Years ago, I worked at the post office, and on my primary route, the business park where Homan Moody is was part of it. For years, it was just a name though. I wasn't a car guy or a racing guy at all, didn't know a thing about them, until, inexplicably, they decided that they had so much mail that the post office had to come to their place to pick up all of their outgoing mail. At first, I was perturbed at the news, but when I walked in that door and saw what I saw, it immediately became a preference. Back then, the large area inside the door had a long line of project cars in various states of repair that faced a large area of finished cars. There were gassers, old racing cars, local racing cars, and of course a couple of Ford GT's. I saw my first DeTomaso Pantera there. I couldn't believe how cool that place was, and the people there, to a person, were all so warm in heart, always smiling, like they were someplace truly special. And they were.

Thank you for the tour. As an 18 year old way back in 1980, Holman Moody machined spiral lock grooves in my TRW Buick 455 pistons so that I could run full floating piston pins with my Howard aluminum connecting rods. I still have that engine in my Buick GSX with those same exact parts, and I start it and drive a few feet every day. I always thought it was cool to say Holman Moody worked on my engine.

Dude after watching so many of your vids and loving the Nascar stuff. This is the one that hits the mark.

Thanks so much for going to these shops and getting the people to open the doors for you to bring these to us Is amazing and keep it up. The history of racing in America needs to be shared and shown.

Another amazing visit at a legendary shop. Thank you for archiving this.

Really love the tours videos Mitchel and Logan! Y'all do a great job helping us relive those days. I love the questions you ask because it brings up memories to those folks and they get to enjoy those memories again. You're about to get hooked on that race kart. If Logan drives one you may be a new team owner. Thank for the hard work guys!

Well, between those GT40s and David Pearson's No. 17 Torino Talledega, I'd say Holman-Moody loomed *quite* large in my childhood imagination. This shop tour lived up to expectations.

I live near H/M and my Uncle was into tractor pulling and his [and everyones] camshaft came from H/M. I had another Uncle, Linsen Kendall who was an engine builder [drove the 51 427 Anglia named Blue Angel] and he would write specs down on a sheet of paper and take to H/M to get the factory camshaft welded up and re-ground to his specs. Super intelligent man.

Absolutely incredible , I got goosebumps just watching. Thank you for doing these videos , the history is so deep in that shop , gt40 4ever!
