Great build!

I like this one.......a lot! Good work on the paint job.

Shirley was a great asset for Chrysler as the first woman to win an NHRA national event eliminator title (1966 Winternationals Super Stock).

She was frustrated with Chrysler's demands that she run an automatic transmission. When she switched to AMC in '69 she got to shift with a clutch once again!

Very, VERY nice!

Nice Model !!

[bogger44]

Very sharp!  I've got this one on my to do list, someday I'll get to it.

New hot rod magazine has a nice article about her in it along with a long lost rail dragster and lots of vintage pics. I usually don't buy the magazine but to much good stuff to pass up this time!

Really nice!

Was Shirley just a common woman's name back then, or did destiny itself dictate that two of the best known early female drag racers were both named Shirley?

Neat clean work, nicely done.

That's one sharp drag car... not up on my drag racing history but it sure looks good!! I'd like to build this one sometime....

Frustrated? When someone picks up the bill, it's their choice and not anyone else s. Nice job on that build John, as I just love dem Mopars!
