It is great to see a write up of a northwest car! Who was responsible for the photos taken at the Hot Rod Eruption Drags in Washington? Great stuff @J.Ukrop !!!
X2 on featuring a N.W. car but it's also great that it's Ray's car. Ray's a great guy and he's photographed a lot of really great cars so it's really cool to have someone do a little story and photos of his for a change.
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I wouldn't own this car without the help of all my friends. It was more like a barn raising than a car build. I am really humbled by this post. Here is a shot of the tunk art. Nico really outdid himself on this project. All done using one shot paint, a tiny brush and a free hand.
I've seen it at The One, Rose City Roundup & driving around town... i dig the hell out of it, as does my 4yo son.
Love those COUPES; but I am biased! I've got to make it down to that little track also. Maybe we'll bring my nephew, Brandon's, "Chicken Coupe" (it sat in a barn for about 37 years), a 1951 Chevrolet Business Coupe (a real one at that). Nice car, nice article, and nice family.

That car, you, and your family just look the part....of how much fun.....it is to be you, it, and them.
What a bitchin car. Its refreshing to see a modern 'gasser' build with some REAL hardware on it that HAULS ASS.
Man I really like your car. It's got that old look that is so popular with drag racers. On a side note the more I read and see cars that guys have sprayed with the Plasti paint that simply peels off whenever you get tired of the color the more impressed I am. I watched a guy spray his car in his driveway without covering the area under the car and then he started spraying over the chrome and lights and I was wondering what the hell he was doing. After he was done spraying the car he just peeled the paint off the tail lights and chrome trim. For a about two hundred dollars including the spray gun the car looked great and you don't need 20 years of experience to spray the paint. Jimbo
There's just something about that car....It's different and the graphics/paint are amazing! Coolness..
