Well I've had this in my mind for a number of years and have decided to get busy and start making this a reality. I've always enjoyed 6 cylinders and I want to start off by saying a huge inspiration for this build was a man by the name of Joe Umphenour who ran 6 cylinder dragsters here in Colorado in the late 50's through the 60's. Joe passed in 2010 but many of us remember him and admire what he accomplished including being inducted into the Colorado Motorsports Hall of Fame. I think of Joe often.
My build is based on K-88 Chassis Research (reproduction by Cornfield Customs in Loveland, Ohio) and will run a 302 GMC 6 cylinder with a '58 olds rearend - transmission tbd. Currently I'm gathering parts and will be mocking up what I can. I welcome any constructive input as I really enjoy the front engine dragster scene even though mine is maybe a bit different.
