Hot Rods The ALTERED thread

One more for Loudbang.

 

How come the crank isn't hanging down underneath?

wasn't the replica of the magic muffler car a lavender color?

 

What about the fuel ridden oil going everywhere.

Whose is this? New? restored? replica? or original?

 

Thats a good question. The picture is dated 2008. I don't know if it's a fuel car or not. The tonneau cover and body style appear older, and the wheels are correct for it to be older also, but the roll bar and the snout of the blower appears to be newer. I will check my old photos and see if anything similar comes up. The wing and the front body aluminum look familiar. Maybe an Eastern or mid-West car?
Maybe @Dean Lowe would have an idea?

 

The "Magnificent 7" Fuel Altered of Leroy Chatterdon made it's debut at the Nitro Revival 2022 this weekend. Many thanks to Skip Davis for getting this project finished. Bill Gathing who built the "7" and Stone T cars needs to be thanked also for doing such great jobs on these two Classic Altereds.

 

Nitro Revival 2022.

 

beautiful altereds
Once - just once, I'd like to experience the feeling of launching one of those puppies.

 

Eyeball flattening, I would imagine!

 

I'l say.
Watch how even my puny little (550 HP) six-banger snaps my head backward at the hit.

Don't forget that the original AA/FA's were substantially shorter than yours...
That adds a whole new dimension to the ride.

 

FFF,
The only things stopping you are fear and common sense.
(Maybe budget!)
How about an all aluminum shotgun motor with blower and fuel?

 

Also, I forgot to mention that with an in/out box, you have to experiment with the clutch....
sometimes you get it right and sometimes,,,,
not so right.

 

Yeah, they are nicely done cars.
I was hoping they make at least one run on Sunday. Don't know what they did Saturday.
The Magnificent 7 has always been a favorite, along with a couple others.

(Maybe budget!) BINGO!


How about an all aluminum shotgun motor with blower and fuel?
Actually, I had entertained that thought at one time, just to show all the REDs I race against what quick really is.

 

The 7 car is not quite ready to fire. The Stone T car was first in line on the Fire Line Saturday night. Did our last start Sunday around 1 pm. All candles lite and making beautiful music.
