We have just as much fun with our 4 doors at the track as those with only 2 doors...and i didnt pay 2 door price for to start off with! I say build it and enjoy it!!
Here is a 65 Comet 4 door g***er, it has run a best of 12.54 @ 108 with a 289 engine. There is a new 302 going together for it because we lost the 289 in a big way so we hope to run low 12's to high 11's on the new engine. Jon
Hell yes man , Itll be a 57 chevy with an axle up front , you CANT make that car ugly , lol . Let er rip tater chip.
If it's quick enough no one will even notice the rear door handles......... And if they do, tough ****... Build it, build it quick, and have fun
More than a few tri five four doors in the album below. Approaching 5,000 tri five g***ers in one place...
more, we dont care if its a 2 door, 4 door, 5 dooor, its wat we had and its jsut getting faster and faster... "No Mater what u got,..Fast is Fast!!"
as above doesnt matter how many doors it has just so long as the front two are in front of the ****er in the lane beside you.
I've seen both The Renteria Brothers Valiant, and the Voodoo Customs car run at Bakersfield. Didnt notice the doorhandles as they blew past me. I prefer 2 door cars, but love em all.
Somebody ran a black '55 Chevy 4 door g***er at Atco in the mid '60s. I don't recall if it had a straight axle, but it sat high and had radiused wheelwells.
Jr Thompson had a couple four door g***ers. He was the '59 B/G champion racing he and his brother's '41 Studebaker. Later he and his son Tommy would campaign a blown Hemi powered Prefect. Steve Woods was racing a BB/G Prefect long before Jr Thompson bought his own car from Chuck Finders.
Wish I had kept any pictures. My first g***er was a '57 Chevy Belair 4 door with a straight axle, and built 283, back in 1966. Back then we figured why screw up a nice 2 door by tearing it up, and racing it.
