My brother bought a 1935 Ford drop head in the 60's and he took me to the British Drag Festivals in it where I met most of the great American drag racers, from Don Garlits to E.J Potter. The rest is history but one car always stuck in my mind from my brothers Hot Rod Magazines. I think it was April 1964 issue, the first time I ever saw a Cheetah, that fantastic car was lodged in the back of my mind until 2 years ago when I was able to purchase a body, screens, seats , dash, trans tunnel etc from
Bob Auxier of Glendale, Arizona, his ebay name is speed10. The body is a perfect replica and the molds were obviously taken from an original. The car will be powered by a sb 302 Chevy out of a formula 5000 Mclarren (about 560bhp) and a Muncie m22.
My son is also a rodder, he is building a 1929 A pickup with a
Desoto Hemi linked to a flathead box (it won't last!!).
CHEETAHS ALWAYS WIN.Interact
