Fairly basic build ,but a very nice job ,keep em coming.

Actually, there wasn't much basic about this build.  A lot came from my parts box.  The original body on Bleekers car was a Bantam body.  I used a Ford Vickie body that I chopped, channeled and sectioned through the doors to shorten it up. Most of the frame came from AMT's double dragster kit.  Scratch built front and rear suspension and drivetrain.   On a 60's west coast swing, this car put many of the big name fuel altereds of the day "on the trailer".  Bleekers home track was Oswego, Illinois.

VERY nice build on that famous altered as I remember it well from seeing it at Great Lakes Dragaway and maybe Rockford Dragway back in the mid-late 60's.

Very brave people drive these things. I always admired them. You did a very nice job with this.  Impressive.

Very, very nice indeed! I just happened to see a restored stock Bantam coupe last weekend. Was amazed at how small it really was!
