These pages are from Custom Rodder - Sept. ‘57
I remember my Dad taking me to Hampton to see the drags and there was a local favorite with a new ’57 fuelie kicking ass in the stock classes.

Here are a fewof what remains of the Corvair and the Blue Hell vette as a gasser and on of the 66 vette at Lion's. I believe someone is rebuilding the Corvair using this body and the original chassis using a Chyrsler motor-SAY WHAT?
