My Nostalgia Drag Racer Creation

15" Cheater slicks from Towel City tire on the rear. The wheels are 15x6 with 2.50 inch backspacing.

 

love it! nicely done!

 

Thanks

 

Ohhhh myyyy.

excellent work!

 

jpnewlin, I really love what you have done to your '63. I have just picked up a '63 Impala and will be referring to yours quite often as far as what to do with it. You really nailed the look!! Excellent job, Sir!!!

Thank You

 

Thanks Pluck
Reach out to me as i would love to hear more about yours. Glad to help however i can.

 

Great looking car!!

 

Thank you sir. Yours as well!

 

We were able to to get the heater deleted this weekend. Less weight and it really cleans up the engine bay.



This is how it looked previously.

 

Where'd you get the wheels? I've been looking around for some for my '56.
Thanks!

 

They are a custom order from Wheel Vintiques.

 

cant stop lookin....

 

Dig it!!

 

Thanks guys

 

Did you make the heater delete panel? Looks super clean.

 

It came from Show Cars or DR409 . It is a pricey piece, but it comes with the dash insert as well which would be hard to fabricate. If i was just concerned with the firewall i would either fab one from scratch or adapt a panel from one of the many you see on Ebay, etc..

 

Nice job!! Looks very period correct.

 

bring it out to the meltdown drags,,,id like to line up with you in my malibu

 

Thanks Goldy. That was the goal!

 

It would be fun wouldn't it?

 

Are you bringing it to the hot rod reunion?

 

Yes, Cannot imagine not going to HRR!

 

By request a picture under the front of the car.

 

we hope to have my "ragged wagon" there i have some pics in my albums

 

We could all see & hear it better at THE HAMB DRAGS!!!

 

Point taken. I know that its a great event.

 

BUT......at the Meltdown every car you race against looks period correct, with era correct wheels....with a period correct S/S class all your pics in B&W look the part.

Just thought I would mention it in case you have not attended.......that's why it is called....REAL vintage drag racing.

It turned out fantastic by the way......alot of S/S early 60's Fords always mopping up Chevy's and Pontiac's at the MD....hoping Chevy S/S will come and redeem...

 

Perfect wheel and tire choice. Myself and four club brothers run towel's tires too.

I would love to see it in person at the meltdown. Even if you don't want to run it hard or at all, you get to park in the pits and have the best seat in the house.
I know you will regret seeing all the footage in the magazines seeing what you missed.

There's a few guys coming up with pro-mod driver Quain Stott from South Carolina. You could probably caravan with them or meet up with the Missouri boys too.
