Projects Dragster Club..........picture thread

Here's an add, probably from Drag News. The chassis shown is pretty close to yours, but if you know anything about Scotty Fenn, you know that he mad numerous changes on his basic designs.

There should be a ton of photos of that car on the web. Do you have the original body? If not, or if it's in tough shape, I can help with a new Rod 'n Race Fiberglass piece.

 

KEV! What about your other projects? That thing is bad...but...WHAT ABOUT YOUR OTHER STUFF? The Willys? The '55? ...and all the other !@#$ you're workin' on that I wish I had?

...WHAT ABOUT IT???!!!! God bless you and God bless America.

 

Err...... and New Zealand?
This thread is awesome, some of you guys have toys that are just too cool, is unfair.

 

NITE-FLYER

 

God damn.........I just LOVE these kinda threads man!!!!

Kerry and King......those projects look GREAT!!!!

Someday I'll have a FED....oh yes.....someday.....

 

The cat I got the 303 from always powdercoats injector stacks. I've had 3-4 from him and every one was coated! I plan to strip and polish them.

 

Got to pilot this E ticket ride a couple of times.

 

Yeah okay! New Zealand too! Who's else did I leave out? FRANCE? I thought Kev lived in L.A. and he just built All Seeing Eye cell phone towers over in New Zealand...

 

What's everybodies favorite dragster parts vendor? Stuff like steering, etc...

 

That's pretty "unique" front axle setup Guffey. Can't ever remember seeing that style of engineering.

 

Conder, I live in Ventura, left NZ about 28 years ago. I'm only working on my Willys right now, oh and a little on my rpu so I can sell it. The dragster frame just sits.....for now.

 

Guffey, where did you find that thing. Whats the story on this slingshot.
Did someone actually try to take this thing down the dragstrip? Or was this something one saw parading around the car show circuit. Yeah, that is the rail that got away. I didn't know you you owned the Superstang.

 

That is one of the MPC model company Zingers the Super Drag to be exact I always called it the Zinger dragster. I looked for it for quite some time and it found Mark Moriarity and I talked him out of it. The Super Mustang streamliner was in Hemmings probably 15 years ago unrestored and pretty ruff and that is how I ended up with it. I sold it to collector in Michigan.

 

My friend Bernie used to own this one and I found myself in the pits helping out where needed local and down in Indy GG numerous times. He still has a couple cars just waiting for when ever.

 

That Willys is gonna KILL. I guess sometimes you have to be from "out of town" to love this !@#$ as much as we do! New Zealand. Kentucky...

 

I just met a fellow at a local show today who is looking for a FED roller. Nothing fancy, but not a piece of junk either. He's in Georgia and is willing to go 300-500 miles to bring one home. PM me if you have something.

 

IBB41;
Bernie tried to sell me this car several years ago...
Hmmm....I said no...

1939fiat

 

Skidlid's dragster.

 

Here is one I sold to Savage. He still has it.

 

You should have bought it Rick, you know there was a feature on that car in one of those Fuel and Fire movies. I always liked that chute pack body on that one, swoopy ya know.

 

Jim -

I hope you don't mind my posting a picture of your beautiful car!


Jim

 

thanks for the post Jim.this was the 1st time down the track, likes to get the wheels in the air. its a 134'' car, 302 chevy with hilborn, Was to SGMP this past w/e and went a wheel toting 101/7.01. I have to put some wt on the ft end. ton of fun.would like to make the HAMB drags in '09.

 

I went down Sunday....how did I miss you? Actually folks said there were a lot of cars on Saturday that didn't come back for Sunday. I do not think there were 100 spectators on Sunday. Kinda long ride for a small turnout.

 

This is not my dragster. It was at the nostalgic drags at Lebanon Valley Dragway. I didn't get the owners name but he told me the car was a real handful off the line. He was right because it did a wheelstand coming out of the burnout box. Short and fun.

 

most of us left on sun morn. I didn't lv until 10am

 

The Dixie Flyer circa 2001. A '68 Buttera car we found in a dirt floor barn in SC around in '96. Ran it with a carburated small block and a blown big block. Ran a best of 7.60 @180. It's been restored as the BancAmericar. I believe Nite Flyer here on the hamb took the picture.

 

The step-by-step resto of this car is on Wediditforlove.com, very cool!

 

not a 'dragster' but a 'dragster' none the less
good for 8.40's or so.

 

Heres the Blue Meanie still current,still racing! 1969 Logghe 195" wheelbase.

 

Here's mine...one of the last cars built by Pat Bilbow of Lyndwood Welding. This is confirmed by Bob Bilbow that it is a small tube car, which was a prototype, since most of his cars were of large-tube construction. It's a 168-inch wheelbase, and it's supposed to be the only small tube (four-bar) that's actually in running order. That's my dad behind the wheel...we went in halves on the car about 6 months ago. Photos!
