Looking for old magazine article??
« on: July 06, 2017, 10:45:21 AM »
I am looking for an old magazine article from the 60s about building a dragster.  If I remember right it was called "So you want to build a dragster".  I have the Hot Rod article showing Don Long building the Ed Pink, Old Master dragster.  I have a few thousand old magazines but I'm going blind trying to find it.  Does anyone remember what title this appeared in?   Pop Hot Rodding? Drag Racing?  Thanks!

A better version was in one of the HOT ROD little books

Thanks Bruce! The article in the little book also appeared in a two part series in Hot Rod magazine in I believe March and April 1965.  That was the Don Long article I referred to.  Great article!
