    hi, anyone out there have any photos of (A&B speed shop) Anglia bodied front eng. dragster. Ran on the east coast as a comp. coupe dragster. It may also have used funnel style injection tubes. I'm trying to redo this car and need any info. I can come up with. Thanks Mike

    I have a couple of pictures I will look for them tonight. This car was featured in Popular Hot Rod Magazine in 1963. Can you post some picture of what you are starting from... Do you have the Anglia body and chassis?

    how were you going to mount the body , will it flip up or is it too heavy, Tim Jones

    I was hoping to mount the body as a tilt like a funny car but i think with the wheel wells mounted on to the body once i flip up the body i still will have a hard time getting into the car. so i'm mounting the body as a lift of just to service trans etc. a little bit easier. I'll need to get in and out of the car over the top. I'm also building the car so i can run it as a dragster or a comp. coupe car. more up dates at a later time thanks mike

    Just thought I'd update. Brother Mike is taking the car to Big Al's "Dover Drag Strip Reunion" this Sunday Sept. 1st. We just put the body on.
