Bill Frick
Bill Frick was born in Berlin, Germany at the end of WW1. He moved to the United States before he was 18. His first engine swap was to install a 1924 Dodge 4-cylinder engine in a Model A Ford. Frick's job consisted in performance-tuning automobile engines. During the winter of 1946 he built a V8-60 midget racer that he won races with. During the season of 1949, Phil Walters drove the midget for Bill. Phil drove the midget under the name Ted Tappett.[1] In 1949 Frick opened up Bill Frick Motors at Rocville Centre, New York. Bill Frick Motors was a custom conversion and engine installation shop.
