Projects Dragster Club..........picture thread

WOW! Is that where my dragster frame kit came from back in 1963?

 

Johnny Fast:
no that shop burned down in 66 or so this is the new shop??? 1966 to now, give them a call he is fun to talk with.

 

H&L is bending some steel for me as we speak.

 

Great post keep it going. Some day I WILL have one of these.

 

This is my old car. If anyone recognizes it and knows it's origin, I'd love to hear about it. The previous owner was Dan Miller in Mountville Pa, he bought it about '73 with a clutchflite in it and set up for a BBC, said it ran B/D. There were '67-'70 Indy stickers on the door of the trailer that was built for it, so it may have run there. I sold it in '80 to Doug Howard in Hbg. PA after I modified the frame for him to run a starter and a BBC again, it later went to Allentown. A lot of changes were made over the years, but it was notable for how close together the frame rails were, and for having a chevy rear end.











There are more photos of in in the album on my profile - http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?u=68338

The front axle, torsion bar and wheels in these photos are not original, it was replaced after a finish line incident at Cecil. Originally it had a flat aluminum plate clamped to the axle for a spoiler, and the axle was full of lead shot for ballast. The rear was a '57-'64 Chevy with a M/T Magnesium center section and Olds drum brakes.

With the car came an orange firesuit with 'Mister C' embroidered on the left front.

I still have the motor, I think I'm going to list it in the classifieds here.

 

H & L is were I had my tube bent when I lived in Lakwood, ca those guy will bend whatever you want ,I went in there with a cardboard layout and they bent it right to my plans.H&L is on signalHill, ca

Dragsters are everywhere!

Finally got my grandpa's car back....thankfully the only updates were chevy motor mounts and a banged up front end...Logghe chassis that Bill Stebbins updated with a deeper cage and lengthened...this car set top et record at Lansing MI and later top Et..look for it to be up and together this summer...

 

Very cool.

 

X2....!

 

thanks...theres alot of work but we have definately got the means to get it done....even tryin to get the original painters to paint/letter/stripe it again....body was originally by Al Bergler btw...

 

hey eastcoast57,do you have a picture of the BERGLER button on the body? is the button stil there?

 

This is mine. I don't know much about the chassis other than its a Chassis Research and I was told the front end is a Kent fuller unit.

 

afan-
the original body was done by Bergler, it was discarded when Stebbins lengthened it and pounded out a new body...

Ok not sure if this fits this thread but gonna post it anyway.

Started this build for my son BEFORE the NHRA rule book came out for the Jr.Dragster League.

WTF???? No Front Engined Dragsters?? Guess No Hot Rods Allowed forgot where they came from!

Oh well had a great time building it and showing it around. Used to be invited to line up with the big boys on Memory lane for the hot rod reuinions with The Feds West guys.
