Thanks... I found the can setup on Facebook. Nobody responded to his post for what it was worth. It has as you see a flywheel and 2 discs and floater that's not seen. No pressure plate. Maybe he will find it.

This is going better than I thought so far.

Next is rearend narrowed and mount the complete drive train.

Great find JeffV8! Very curious to hear if you are able to complete the history... you just have to. Reading this, and with no finish, is like ripping the ten last pages out of a good book.
Im following this thread till you find out and the car is finished ;)

Gasserx I'm still looking for the owners. Sometimes I think I have a good lead but come up empty.  Trying to get some pics in magazines.

I will keep updating with my progress.

After 1 year of picking up my Woody and as much time searching its history, I found out who owned the car before the guy I got it from.   ;D. Also the name of the painter.  Now I need to find the guy who owned it from Youngstown Oh.  The Glory Days Of Drag Racing on FB was a great help.

Getting closer

There could not have been too many fuel dragsters in Youngstown, Ohio in 1964.  That injector Van has is a bitchin Laguna lean out deal.

If its Tony's stuff look at the interior or other little details. The seahorse should be some where. no one did interiors like him. Good save .
