Dragster frames........picture thread.

I love the shape of this.....it looks like yours KING

 

Thanks, I have never seen that photo! Wish I had all those.

 

I think that is Johnny Fast's car back in the day. I deffinatly have a front engine dragster fetish.

 

Wow, post 101! Legs UNDER car!!!! Those are so damn sexy. Who owns that car?!?!?!

 

The Denver Flatheaders (now the Vintage Drag Racing Association) have been using single hoop, three point cages for years on their slower bracket cars. The tracks where they race rarely give them any trouble and when they do, they point out that they race under ET bracket rules, not Competition Eliminator rules. I don't know if that will fly again this year, but it has up until now. Apparently it won't fly on the West Coast according to the people wanting to run HA/GR cars out there. Here is the Flatheaders web page:

You can see plenty of pictures from some of their races on my web site. Just look around on it.

You could almost certainly run it at MoKan at the H.A.M.B. Drags. That would definitely be worth the tow.

All of this assumes that you don't have a car that is actually unsafe.

 

yes...thanks for the compliment on the picture...thats the one...i was on the crew with the car for awhile...what a great learning time in my life...

 

I have a early 60's Speed Improvements .........H&L kit in the box . I'll have to dig it out and take some pic's...........Awesome thread

 

This is badass KING.

 

You pull my leg? Get to that box and put new battries in your camera. KICK ASS

 

This was a local car for sale on E bay. Auction ended early. I did everything in my power to get it. but something else was going on behind the scenes. It was a Sorrell body, unknow chassis.

 

I'm typing around a POLE!
I sold my '65-'66 Woody last year,big ass mistake!

 

This is one of my favorite threads!

Here is my frame, dont know where its been made, but i have posted some pictures before. Now its just the bare frame, awaiting to be painted

 

Hey King......you wouldn't happen to have more pics of this one from the Ebay auction would ya??? This one is really cool....not too long, killer body...

Were most of the early diggers chromoly, or was mild steel used as well?

 

the rod stuckey cars were like that and later copied by fred allen here in philly for dick "the shadow" belfatti and joe "the outlaw"nocentino.

 

THE King him self ..

 

Here are some more...

(I scanned the section on dragsters if anyone wants a copy)

My alltime favorite


Gotta have at least one local boy...

 

Yes please......

 

I was so happy when I found a copy of this book. The how to build a fueler section is awesome, I'm using it to collect parts for a full build up for myself

 

Anyone know what the wheelbase was on the GBP car? That car just looks right to me.

 

I'd like a copy too please!
