Event Coverage Antique Nationals Pic's,2012

The dragster belongs to a friend of ours, and the belts were out of date. Plus it wasn't in the year allowance of the Nationals (pre-54) It has a 62' Tempest engine in it.

I'm sure they probably would of let him run if it past tech though. Problem was he hasn't ran it in a while, and the brakes needed some freshening up.

His car used to have a flathead v8 back in the 70's when they were part of the UFRA.

 

Terry Stoker just finished up this car a few months ago. It was an abandoned project, and Terry did it up right! Fiberglass body, with real hood & grill. 350/350 set up I think. When he first pulled it into our little donut shop get together, I just drooled...

Terry's a straight up guy, and I think he has it posted here on the HAMB for sale, if anyone is interested.

 

That was Lynn's project car. It sure turned out great.

He's on the HAMB and has a great blog too: pewsplace.com

 

thanks for the update. Don

2X Thanks, the video supplied some good feedback that was missing, see you next time, Pat

 

I still have more pic's,but they will have to wait til the pain wares off.....

 

Thanks Bob! You sure made my day when I saw these pics. Its a neat little car and I remember reading all about it in American Rodder Magazine around the early nineties at a guess. Its full of history and the feature also included a picture of Manny Betz himself.

 

Good point. Those Thickstun parts are really cool, as are the pics Bob. Good luck with the hand. As long as you don't get a surgeon like I did, his name, Dr. Peter Groper, seriously!

 

Hey Bob these pics are awesome man, gotta say you do better with one hand than I can do with two! So mucho thank you's.

 

Better than Dr Ben Dover! haha...
