1962 Bel Air Carolina Thunder

Recommended Posts

I have a couple Bel Air cars to build. 

I also want to finish up the red Proffitt car real soon also. 

I saw videos of this car leave the line with the wheels in the air, all crooked. Don’t know what engine is in the real car, so I just tossed in a typical 409, stroker, with a bunch of race parts, and single dominator.

cool picture,

Those early X frame cars sure twisted up good on a sticky launch

Yea, there is this black 1960 Impala or Bel Air thats even more brutal. 

If this were my car, I’d try to get that rear to settle down with an anti roll bar, or something. Some E.T. Is being left on the table, I’m sure.

Beautiful build.  I am a sucker for the early Super Stock/FX classes, then racing was racing.  Those launch pictures are brutal, sort of reminds me of these hydraulic cars doing their wheelstand dances. 

Thanks... Here is another one I like to watch. Nuts!
