That flake is crazy! Headers are very cool as well. Me? I'd go with a cross ram and smaller carbs. But that's just my liking.

Here is another.

The original version. It still need a passenger seat and front fenders to make it a legal Street Roadster.

Never did like the purple paint, so........

I made it green! I found some front fenders from a old AMT '32 Ford kit, added another seat, and made it legal.

The front headlights (required by NHRA rules) were cut from the front bumper of a Revell Hemi 'cuda.

These are great race cars that are often overlooked by builders. I gotta build some more of them!

Here is a '29 Ford that I built a long time ago. It's meant to be a street/strip/car show warrior from the mid sixties:

The engine is a 340 Mopar made to look like a triple carbed Oldsmobile.

I hope that you had fun building that car because I had fun checking it out! One of my favorite race cars for many reasons not the least of which is that I was at National Speedway the day that Leroy Goldstein made the first recognized six second pass.

Well done! You did a terrific job on the body. The foil work must have taken some real effort.
Did you leave the hood up in the rear on purpose? That is how we would get fresh air to the carbs on the non-scooped cars. The tech guys frowned upon it but we all did it anyway!
