    We got the dragster out yesterday for a little day light.... Then it rained!

    Bob Hilton worked on the Ch***is, body and custom headers.... Brandon painted and lettered the car!

    This is a REAL Ch***is Research LW-106. With orginial quarter elliptical front springs, chrome front axle '37-'48 spindles, Blown SBC with Fresh Hilborn Two Port, 8-3/4" Mopar.

    Very nice looking car! The right hand steering isn't seen too often, what steering box is in it? Bob
