Dave Lukkari, "He was one of a kind".
Yes he was, one of the coolest guys I met after getting back into the scene in the early '90s...

Thought I would jump in, we are just finishing this little guy at the shop, has early 12 in. Halibrands and early sw gauges, header and a weber carb should be a blast to take to Hallet road course and have some fun! Maybe to Goodguys and do the autocross.

Enjoy, Jason HRG

That's a cool mod- love the rounded front wheelwells and lowered windshield. Interesting solution to the blockiness of the stock Super Sports door tops... I may do something similar with mine.

This one ran in the Mid West,Sioux city,Omaha,Minnesota etc. .First with a Hemi under Nigg/Mahany.Then my dad joined them and they ran it with a Olds.I remember my dad as being a bit afraid of it saying it filled up with tire smoke and couldn't see where he was going,Enjoy,W (thanks Paul Hutchens for the B/W photos)

Thanks Rocky Famoso, Nochop & every cool cat who has run with this thread & posted. Amazed at the treatment & sheer number of cars.
The Hot Shots make plenty of sense as a fun car. Hot- Rod- Garage & George Potter- superb results!
