Yo Baby, I think you've got a terrific idea...I probably would've done the same thing if I hadn't found this firstmodel 96 Saab..but technically it's an altered, I stretched the wheelbase about 20 inches.

Floor installation in the Saab

 

Here's the frame for the Saab, a modified Model A, it's upside down while I was welding brackets on for the front radius rods. Hope to have it on all fours sometime this winter.

 

It's wonderful to know I'm not the only sick puppy on the block.LOLI need to see more of this when it's standin' on all fours.

There was one that raced in the Tampa area twenty years ago. It was painted black and white like a cop car.neat as hell. Robert

 

I saw found this on Google. probably belongs to someone on this list.

 

Here's one I saw in Charlotte....
This is the only pic I took of it.

 

The other car is an English Ford 100E Anglia/Popular.

 

That red PV544 was named "The Red Tomato", its a cl***ic in the Swedish drag racing history. It was built around 1968-69 and the original builder was Lars Nigell (he did grew tomatos for living!).
In the early 80´s Hot Tomato was owned/driven by Ralf Gunnarsson from Tyringe in southern Sweden. Ralf did happen to be my machine shop teacher by the time and we spoke a lot about that car. The car is no longer existing as Ralf crashed and totaled it...

A few pics of it from the 70´s can be seen at http://race68.com/nigellpv.htm

 

Dont give this guy too much information,,,,, just get the damn car built and lets go race.............................................................starbird g***er display in feb, be there okc

 

not quite g***er, but interesting

 

Thanx to you all for the pix and inspiration.I've already got the front end together Sam.

T.OUT

 

and did you put a straight axle under it and whack the wheel wells?????????hehe

 

Theres a guy just north of spokane Washington, Bob Donley is his name, with a '54 volvo that was a g***er in the early 60's. As the story goes it was running a 260 ford small block with a tunnel ram and zoomie headers, with a narrowed '56 olds rear axle. I personally have the axle out of this car in my storage. I was working at the fabrication shop that put the new roll bar, rear frame rails, wheel tubs and laderbars under it back in 2000. I don't know what happened to the car after I quit but it should be one hell of a racer if its ever finished.

 

I doubt that....but lord help him if he does

 

Front or rear and what in the hell are you (doin) gonna do with it?
It sure doesn't sound like he needs it.
