I like the rusty axle and steering arms

 

These pictures must be from doing the mockup. Mine is from augest, and it is running in the pic.

 

So this is why I can't afford or find a good HEMI

Awesome thread - well worth the time to read and view

 

Hey Slayer, is that a new chassis or a restored old one? Fuel or gas or alcohol or ?

 

Perfect.

 

I don't know man, this one's pretty fuckin' bad...

 

another. Man I love the bodies of these cars. My next dragster I was leaning toward something like maybe 1959 K-88 style car, but everytime I see this kind of stuff I want to do 1969. With over the head chute tail. Long live the fed.

 

Yeah, I like that one too Conder. ha, ha

 

Superbad.

 

I always think if I ever won the lottery. During that press conference thing they put on the news I would say, "Tom Hanna and Pat Foster stay by your phone because I am calling you guys first" And nobody would understand what the fuck I was saying , but those of you that do would think it was the coolest fuckin thing someone could say.

 

Pat Foster built my fuel tanks. They levitate 2 feet off the floor on sundays and glow in the dark...Whenever I walk by 'em I hear monks chanting.

 

That is true because a friend of mine told me he seen it on some kind of cabel channel show about holy things.

 

Here is a top fuel car I painted.It has cow print airbushed.The logos are airbrushed to look like branded cow hide.Lucas Oil co.owns a cattle farm.The red candy is painted over old cars airbrushed .

 

That Creitz and Donovan "blue" car was one of my favorites of that era. I planned to replicate it and had acquired some Jere Alhadeff photos of Hanna working on the tail so I had some reference as to how to recreate it but then I found and purchased the Mr Lucky/Soapy Sales car. As much as I love "tail" cars and may eventually build one just 'cos, I have been in love with my car since I first saw it in April 1970.

I just got this picture from Rudy Perez. It's Denny Milani's #19 with it's alter-ego #10 paint job...either way, this car is astoundingly beautiful.

 

This thread is like winning the lottery and having strippers show up at yer 18th birthday shindig..............

 

YEAH, and the stripper's have big ol' juicy fruit butts and throw money at US!

 

Got me beat.

 

one from my personal stash....local top gas later fuel ..... owner's name escapes me right now....rick from bridgetown welding....thinking it was a don long car... brandon

 

Funny, i was just reading about this very car in a 64(?) Hot Rod magazine a couple days ago. Beautiful car!

 

Oh.... I thought you said STRIPERS!!!

Was starting to get worried there for a second!

 

pretty cool old photos.

 

If you ever get a chance to see Garlits museum, It will be time well spent unless your drag race brain dead.

 

a friend just sent me the link to a video of this altered. looks like a handful to drive!!

Mike Boyd Is A Bad Motherf***er.

 

Yes he is. I like the part where he says Willie is telling him" left , right , left". I saw this AA/FA make a pass in Bowling Green acouple of years ago, AMAZING!!

 

Here are some nice movies from the great days.
