Skip Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 http://sgrallying.blogspot.com/2013/05/jrs-dragster-one-bad-hombre.html First thing I thought when I saw these pictures was Slingster, either use the paint scheme on the Bantam body or get really ambitious and cut and paste a '32 Ford Vicky body and make your own. I know that I have at least one old Small Pages article on how to cut up a Bantam Sedan up to make something similar to te Slingster body, it would be a whole lot of cutting to do though. When I saw the new Slingster for the first time I thought Fuel Coupe in all sorts of variations. This just reinforces that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychographic Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A piece of art for sure. I would be at the drags every week if I could see things like this race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I remember seeing the Comp. Coupes and Roadster Dragsters run when I was a kid. None of them were ever built with this kind of attention to detail as the Famoso Comp. Coupe shown. Some of the early drag cars were a bit on the ragged side, they were race cars not show cars! Hopefully the Famoso Comp. Coupe makes one of the car magazines soon, it's an interesting subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 They may have used tilt shift photography, but I have never seen it done this close up, so I am not sure These are all actual pictures done this way https://www.google.com/search?q=tilt+shift+photography&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Xo1&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2DA3U7u4KKHN2AW5iYDQBA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaleDale Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) If you aren't sure it's real. It's under a lift in this link about 1/2 way down. Awesome paint. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/05/for-those-10-seconds-or-less-inside-famoso-speed-shop/ Dale Edited March 30, 2014 by ScaleDale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
