    Tom Hanna's first dragster body was on his own dragster, 1964: Here is his caption:

    "My first ever dragster. First ever body. .040, no Bondo, no putty. It had Bob Mayer's 354 in it at Winternationals. Norm Weekly put me away in the first round".

    No idea who bought the first one he sold but the man was an artist.

    This is the 1965 version of the Hawaiian, right out of Hanna's shop. I think that Wayne Ewing built the body for the first version.

    The '65 version of the Hawaiian...maybe the car in the top photo, before Hawaiian paint and shotgun injectors---Hanna built this body, if my notes are right.
