Front Engine Dragsters / Re: chance to give me your opion and I may listen
« on: July 04, 2013, 02:08:34 AM »Huszarail are by and chance kin to a guy named Tom Acres who rund wizzard warehouse? Sorry green not my color and that much just reminds me of the old Wizzard(lizzard) TA/FC he ran back in 90's.
Sorry, no relation to Tom. Your aversion to green isn't uncommon, Roy seems to have luck with green painted cars. That or he has lot's of it!!!

From the prolific workshop of Roy Wilding. For a little inspiration?

Jobe, Skinner and Sorokin without doubt. Also Schubert and Herbert - the definition of engine dump!.
And one from England, my boyhood hero. Dennis Priddles' Mr Revell ( ex- Kuhl and Olsen)

Hi Glen,
Mine was a So Cal truck, El Camino Custom 350/4 speed (now T-5) bucket seats, was really nasty though when I got it. Butchered to fit TH400 and bench seat.
Now has 3 pedals re-instated and painted in the original butternut yellow, on corvette rallye steels and red bands.

Hello Everyone, I came across your forum curtesy of 'that' search engine and signed up.
I'm Mark from Droitwich, Worcestershire in good ol' Blighty.
I own a 1966 RCS FED running a mild SBC, Enderle injected on gas. It's my first car and I thought gas would be a simple way to start, along with all the challenges of running a dragster.
The car came form Oregon and used to compete in Nostalgia Eliminator. The story goes that it was built for a body shop owner in Dufur(?) Oregon but he hung up the rolling chassis in the rafters of his business from 1966 untill 1998. John Meissenger brought the car in 1998 and finished it. The paint is the first on the body ever. He had the roll cage replaced with a 5 point setup and added kidney bars and went racing. With a hot 427 small block and 'glide the car ran 7.6's.
I brought the car to the U.K. and it has a quiet life - semi retired so to speak.
I love it. the shortie body is just beautiful, the seat pan is made of 5 separate pieces of aluminum and welded and planished. You can tell the tubes are hand pulled around the rear of the car.
The plan is to move up to Alky and keep having fun with it
Next step is to freshen my 1969 El Camino tow car having sat outside under a cover for the last 4-5 years while we moved house and built a workshop!
