    These may help. I have a few more pics of the M&S #554 at home. Will look tonight.

    If you need some more pictures of fuel coupe-style cars, let me know.

    No detail shots of the front suspension, but maybe these will help.

    If this isn't enough, get a copy of Don Montgomery's "Those Wild Fuel Altereds".

    In order to go fast the 15oz Coupe had the front and rear mounted rigid. This was in the current version. With the buggy spring suspension it was far too scary, all over the track. If you are contemplating a track only car, I think that's the ticket. Jim Kirby in California did the ch***is work.

    Good luck and keep us up to date on your project.

    There has always been something migical about the 554 Coupe, finally got to see it in Ocala at the Garlits Museum. This photo is from the July 30, 1965 issue of Eastern Drag News. Photo caption reads "The K&G Speed ***ociates from Havertown, Pa. has Bob Keogh driving the former Fuel Altered from California. Handling problems prevented bob from making an all out run. "

    curbspeed, looks like you're about as far away from the coupe as you can get being from Wa. As 37 said it's in Big's museum. I'd bet Big Daddy would send pics if you ask real nice. His museum would be worth a trip to Fl., too.

It will run 354 Hemi, 4-spd, Olds' rear, lotsa louvers, Halibrand mag's, Willys ft axle, radiator out back, aluminum interior, roll cage, parachute etc. I have 80% of the patrs I need. It's in the early stages but I'm pretty motivated!
