Straightliner59 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I just stumbled across this page.

Bernard Kron Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Great in-depth info on this famous historic machine. Seems to me you may know more about this kind of project than you're letting on Mr. Himmel, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I have pushed this recreation around a few times! Ray Lake is a good guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, the article shows just how flawed mine is (although, I am still happy with it). I think I could only find one or two color shots, when I was building mine, and, I chose the wrong color!grin Jesse, you're up! Jack Smith likely still has the artwork to do the decals, if he doesn't have some already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bartrop Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks like you could get pretty close to Sidney Allard's first dragster as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't know if you do FB, but, Jack took his website down a while back. He has some sheets ready to go. Top End Decals on Facebook, is where to find them. If you don't FB, I'll see if I can get an email address for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allard's digger does resemble one variation of the Cook and Bedwell car, for sure! The Slingshot's rollbar is different, obviously. That would be a cool project!
