Old Coyote Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Roy Rastetter's beautiful '32 Austin Bantam A/A from Hale Center, Texas
10thumbs Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 That car, and model are beauties! I especially like the Bantam bodies that aren't so tall. Sleek and trim is my favorite look. You do very clean work.
Matt Bacon Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 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.

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 1932 American Austin Bantam roadster English Austin A40 (in American trim) Edited October 10, 2015 by Old Coyote
