Hot Rods The ALTERED thread

Going back through this thread on a cold snowy day in Illinois - should mention they were the 1971 NHRA World Champs in Comp - also the 23 T gave Tom his second Indy Comp Eliminator win.

 

From down under.

 

Again, technically it would e classified as a /Street Roadster, not an altered.
(And maybe a Dodge at that!)

 

That would be Dodge BROTHERS.

 

I have a front axel like that

 

Oops I overlooked the fenders.

 

Wow. The cycle fenders make me wonder what hot rod that axle was mounted too.

 

I don't know but someone needs to get this this.

 

Never seen that one, but I like it! Looks like it evolved; 60's chassis but with a 70's tunnel ram. Great Lakes Drag-O-Way?

 

cool car
unique features

 

yep Great Lakes around 1990-1995. I haven’t found another like it yet. He also had his rear fender flares cut and flared in the rear.

 

would this be considered an altered with just rear fenders?

 

Sure -- most of them have no fenders.

 

Thanks.

 

Yes. In addition, it was center steered. Street Roadsters could not be center steered, although some altereds could be offset steered. That, plus a significant engine setback, no hood, no headlights would most assuredly place it in the Altered class.

 

I think Paul Osmond and Don Kilby 's Blown Steel Fiat was featured in Rod and Custom "Little"magazine back in the day ?? The second picture is what I understand is the 1960 US Nationals at Indy. Looks like a Blown Caddy engine to me ??
