This is a super old post but figured why not, Cleans racing transmissions was owned by my dad (Jim Martin aka Clean) When this was posted he had passed away several years earlier. He would stamp and sticker everyone of his builds. That transmission if still working would be worth a lot of money as you can’t get them and anyone who knows anything about the classic car, street rod or drag racing scene in Southern California knew who my dad was. He was in several car clubs, the spinners, so cal nomad, and several race clubs. If you were in ca in the 1970-2002 you would have seen his race car the 1956 Chevy nomad known as the Low Roller.

Why a capital letter to begin each word? It makes it difficult to read your post.
Jim Martin's son (he didn't state his name or location) joined this forum and made exactly 1 post and that was 2 years ago. I kind of doubt he will see your post here. If your googlefoo is working you can attempt googling "Cleans' Racing Transmission" and see what else you may find.

I remember Cleans Racing Transmissions. Your dad use to be part of a group that included a 68 Chevelle known as the ant hill, mobs last dime. There was an early Chevy pu 49-52 known as praying mantis. A mid 60’s red El Camino owned by a Hawaiian guy Nick named Pineapple, Larry Adams owned Wilmington Muffler Shop where I hung out. A guy named John from that group bought my 57 210 post. I always wondered what happened to this group.
Another friend owned Cooks automotive back in the day. Mike’s family ran it then Mike took it over late 70’s or early 80’s.
Thanks for bringing back some very fond memories
