Managed to grab a few while doing the other threads LOL.

Before he began his long association with Joe Pisano in the Funny Car ranks, Sush Matsubara was well-known for his wheelwork on the Mondello & Matsubara Fiat Fuel Altered with car owner Joe Mondello.




Funny Car legend “Big Jim” Dunn rose to national prominence in the early 1960s with the Dunn-Merritt-Velasco Fiat Topolino. The car originally ran blown on gas but switched to nitro in mid-1963.

Jack Doyle's Fiat at Sanford, Maine

 

SUSH MATSUBARA

A definite crowd favorite, Sush Matsubara, near lane, completes his burnout. This car would later be painted with the familiar Mondello & Matsubara livery and eventually set the national record with their 427 Chevy wedge-powered Fiat fuel altered at 7.24, 213 mph at the 1969 U.S. Nationals.



Pure heaven

 

So, were they producing a one piece glass T with the wheel wells recessed? Or was this a homebuilt body mod? Like the wedge body?

 

there is something about the pic of the 434 33 thats makes me go back and look at it over and over again

 

I'm pretty sure that's Charlie Hill's "Dirty Thirty".

 

thanks for that info. were was it from?

 

Charlie Hill and Pork Zartman are from Central PA. My parents and there friends speak ofCharlie from time to time.

 

Pork was out of the picture by the time Charlie built the Altered. I believe it was driven by "Cheater Bob" Parmer.

 

Yea , thats correct. Pork drove the Filthy Forty. Charlie gave strict instructions that the car never be washed. May not have looked the best, but was a real runner.

 

Or maybe it was Bob "Cheater" Parmer.

 

Jim Head raced a '55 Chevy in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, on the day he turned 16 on Sept. 5, 1964. He went on to race a C/Altered Bantam roadster and a number of small-block entries through the tail end of the 1970s. One of his earlier entries was a D/A '57 Corvette pictured
