    Pete, Saratoga Auto Museum? Prettiest '33 (one hood handle)...and many others like Norm Wallace's '32.

    Drag cars are cool to look at. But to me a truly radical car can be so many different things.

    F.I., Super charged and nitrous injected flat head with super rare components thru out the engine bay. Modern brakes, ABS? Black paint so deep you can stick your arm in it, with a black leather interior in a bare bones theme.

    Or

    A bright red, more traditional appearing flamed hot rod, with flawless door, trunk and hood gaps of 1/8". Big block with converted modern fuel injection stacks. 6 speed, quick change rear, but independent 4 wheel suspension and sway bars.



    Ahhhhh, to have no limit on my budget would be scary when done either way.

  9. From the link Petejoe provided.

    A lengthwise slice was removed from the body shell under the beltline, the most difficult customizing technique. Sectioning usually makes an early Ford look pinched or squashed, but Arnett maintained the proportions by shortening the entire car 11 inches. Shorter four-door sedan front doors were swapped into the cab and the rear quarters were shortened.

    I don't know about Radical, but here are some very nice model 40 coupes that have some modifications that I like.
