Gloves? No. T-shirt? check. Helmet and bubble shield? check. Coverall's soaked in boraxo? no. OK. You all think I'm kidding about the white coveralls soaked in boraxo don't ya.
Hadn't shared anything for a bit, here's the late Galen Blanc, late 50's dragster, racing off Gowen Field Road, just south of where the Boise Airport is today.
Ok, there's a couple things that stand out here. How the car is secured to the trailer, lol, The cyl head on the left bank, and the hemi head for ballast. I mean when was that picture?
I think the left head was drilled and tapped to help support the compressor on the ‘58 Level-Air (or whatever it was called) system. Maybe Chevrolet air brake equipped big trucks too.
