History Drag Roadsters............picture thread

Bump...

 

Fast Elvis,I sure would like to see more pictures of the Classical Gass,altered

 

I had to look at this post cause I picked this body up and am planning out the project. Little did i realize my body would be in the post. Funny how its from indiana and I traded a guy in rochester ny 2 rifles for the body. Its rough but I am not building a show car. So far I have a frame and a caddy 429 engine and tranny for it. Hopefully I can bring this back to life. Will try to keep the paint but there's a lot of bondo on it and if enuff falls off during the build I might just sand it down and patch the lower panels and repaint it. Would love to get more info on it. It was definitely a center seat dragster with a gasser style front end.

 

Time to get this thread back to life. Some found images...

 

Leland Kolb's '32

 

Vince Ferry

 

Santa Maria track; unknown year

 

This one wasn't identified, so not sure if "Shelton" is the track, driver, or photog.

 

Last one...your turn!

 

Another pic. of Hine's roadster, circ. 1968

 

Here you go brother......sorry it took so long......

 

Is that Larry Shinoda, the stylist associated with the 1963 Sting Ray and Boss Mustang?

 

One in the same!

 

I had the privilage of meeting Mr. Shinoda here in Dallas at a Corvette function. This guy was class through and through. Mike

 

Rich,
Any information on the '63 Ford in the background? Was this shot from Island Dragway? Can you scan and get closer on the Ford? Please contact me via racenart@optonline.net or over at the S/S thread (Race Artist) Thanks.

Looks like a good starting point for an HA/GR... maybe with a Hornet 7x spec engine?

Cool thread as usual!

Wow, did this thread fall off a cliff or something? Bumpin'...

 

I was waiting to see if some one else posted anything other than a American drag roadster. But here is my drag roadster. It is a "roadster" and it is a "drag car" .
