Hot Rods wrong site for my build?

Thanks for the tips, i started doing some more research and saw the comp. coupes and was a little confused because i saw some (fuel coupes) called comp. coupes. i think the 15oz.coupe was called that in a couple of articles i found. thanks again

 

thanks for your input, i believe your correct with the title of fuel coupe. did some research and found the "554" fuel coupe. cool car. that is more the style i am after. thanks again.

 

I like that car! A great inspiration for sure!

How about this 36 Dodge

 

The names, terminology are from the early drag classes - most of which are still around ie did you know there are still A/FX cars racing? - anyway try to find an older rule book, say pre'85ish, and the terminology will make more sense. NHRA lumped all these unique classes into what is known as 'Competition Eliminator' the componants of 'Comp' are altereds, street roadsters, non-fuel funny cars & dragsters, modified production, factory experimental, gassers (sometime befor 1990 they combined gassers and altereds into just one class), and other purpose-built race cars. These classes exist today, for example the '36 dodge is an 'altered' while the dragster in his avatar is a 'nostalga dragster'.
I don't ever remember a 'fuel coupe' class although there might well have been one but things were treacherous enough with the fuel altereds and Wally Parks might have been a little nervous about having one of them things pull up to the line all crackling and pounding with the driver strapped inside and no easy way to get him out when shit happens.
One of the differences between a gasser ands an altered is fenders, gasser gotta have fenders and altereds don't.

 

or a 361 or 426 wedge

 

Stay true to you!! After all your not building a car for the hommies on the hamb!! If were not paying the bill then you don't need to please us. Build it how you want just take the time to do it right and please share it with us.
