My Favorite Altered

Very cool-looking!

...as a matter of interest, since I know nothing about dragsters, how much of the "original" car does an altered need to contain? I'm not seeing much '32 Austin in there!

bestest,

M.

There doesn't have to be any of the original car at all ........ in this case it's just a fiberglass replica of the '32 Austin Bantam roadster body and radiator shell ........... and this is a replica of an American Austin Bantam roadster, not an English Austin (two totally different companies)  ......... although the English Austin A40 was also popular with American drag racers
