Chevy head?

A friend has a '28 chevy engine that he can't sell for $100.

Here is the guy that solved that problem - Yep another SoCal Hot Rodder.

His roadster has been restored and is in the Petersen Museum. It still has its original race flathead.
The magazine cover is Ray Brown (standing) and Fred Carillo working on the car. Fred started the Carillo connecting rod company.

Ohhhh I think it's going to hurt when that guy lands.

What is that on the back of his head, maybe blood coming out already.
