Well I spent some serious money yesterday so I'm starting a thread so I don't hijack Fred's build. Sorry Fred. The car is going to be an updated version of the car I built in 1972. I was a donk for Pete Robinson racing a SOHC Ford top fuel dragster until he was killed at Pomona qualifying for the Winter Nats.
Pete built his own brand of blower drives and I found one so the part search was on for bucket goodies. I found a blower, bought a Spirit stretched body and p/u bed, 14" wide wheels, 18" Hallcraft wires w/brakes, t model headlights, and the big chunk a 454 Vortec Chevy motor!
This is going to be fun! I'll get all the stuff in one pile soon and stack it up for pictures as soon as I can. This project has been in planning for a while so I'm excited.
