History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

What?

 

I do , who or what is it?

 

In this photo from this angle it's amazing how much this car looks like a VW bug!

 

It looks like someone was standing there in the original photo and someone tryed to photoshop him out of the shot. Or it's a ghost!?!

I've checked this picture that I saved from months ago and it's in that one too!

 

I am sure there is no photoshop effect going on in the photos Plum posts. Just looks like a double exposure. KILLER shot none the less. Slim

 

Slim & All:

That just what it is. Might even be Jungle Pam.

It was taken at a very slow shutter speed to get the flame shot. Whoever it is was moving.

Heres 2 more shots. I took all of those shots with a Hasselblad camera which had a 2-1/4x2-1/4 slide or negs.

It was set on a tripod and the camera wasn't motordriven. I was trying to get it a good flame shot so after clicking one I crank to the next shot and click away. Out of the three shot I got one pretty good one.

These 2 shots are the first time I tried to scan slides which I sure I can make them come out better . Just have to play with it more but this will give you a idea what I was trying to do.

Yup, you can see the guys head in your second shot. Thanks for sharing the details too.

 

The first shot is almost like the ghost of jungle jim rides again.

 

These picture are great, keep them coming.Does anybody have any picture of west hampton in the 70s/ 80s . track and street cars,would love to see them.

 

Yeah these pictures are awesome and by all means keep them coming. I just think it's funny that you can find all kinds of things in old photos.

 

To me, it looks like Pam is standing on the right side of the track... you can see her just ahead of Jungle Jim's front fender...boots on and all.

Great pictures!
Thanks!

 

More photos.

Plum, it takes some harsh chemicals to clean up a hooker. JC

 

Funny J C.

Plum

 

Here ya go Bob. I would usually take a good chunk of the afternoon for something like this. This is rushed as you can tell. You Rock Plum. Slim

 

Try Clorox! That should clean her out.

 

Thanks Slim.

Looks good to me.

I don't know how much I'll be posting tomorrow as you can notice by all the photos I've been posting I'm not working around the house. I got to get my grass cut & weed eating tomorrow if its not raining.

The "L" is done so "Mc" is next. Hope theres some Goose fans out there.

Thanks again guys for the comments.

I'm glad we got those blur Jungle photos straighten out.

Plum

 

Thank you Plum for your time and effort.

Notice on the rear roofline of the Goose Duster has a roof spoiler. The Snake also had it on his 'Cuda. I guess it didn't ork as it wasn't long it was gone.

Plum

 

On the first 2 photos you can see the roof spoiler real good but in # 8 its gone.

We're in the "M's" now.

I'm going to have split the Big John Photos like I did with Shoe as I don't think everybody wants to see 75-80 photos of Big John's cars. Although they not hard to look at as they were beautiful cars.

Plum

These last 2 batches I sent was all differnt size prints thats why they are sent this way.
