We built an oldie a few years ago, also trying to keep the old vibe. Added about 40 feet of tubing so we could run street nite etc. One of the few carsI wished I'd kept.

This is too cool. I was just out at the NHRA museum and saw this Dragmaster style, adjacent to the Mickey Thompson display, guess you know what motor I'll have. Will these pass NHRA tech since even Ole Daze drags have to meet their rules?
