Projects What qualifies a HAMB drag car?

We think we have something up our sleeves that's similar to these...... What do you think?

 

I like it! I took this photo at the HAMB Drags so I think it would be fine.

 

Please !!!! ........ just do it Saltflats !

 

Anything that makes you say "I'm not sure I'd want to go as fast in that thing as it looks capable of".

 

Yes please!

 

We are in the planning stages as of now.
Thought it would be neat to have one of the Daimler Hemi engines in it but not sure it would be cost effective.

 

Cost effectiveness is in direct proportion to depth of wallet.

if I had an old brit car Healy, MG, hell even a Morris Mini I would be all over convincing myself that it was HAMB Drags worthy.

 

Hell yea, do it! Those pesky little bastardized Brit missiles have been a part of it since nearly the beginning.

 

Anyone who says it isn't doesn't belong here, yes?

 

Are you asking someone to give you permission to build what you like ?????

 

No but I like input being good or bad.
I had other plans for this car but my buddy has been telling me this is the way to go.
But after a night of bench racing I gave in and told him this would be his car did I F@&k up???
I was not in logical state of mind if you get the drift.

 

Alcohol and acid has a tendency to make one cosmic.

If you have a brit roadster and somehow gave it away then yes you did fuck up. LOL Actually you should have given it to me.

 

Doubt I would hack into a 3000 but a Sprite without even thinking about it.

 

I thought the damned brownies tasted funny...

 

I would love to see a build like you have been thinking of. And to see the thing PUNISH SOME PAVEMENT!!!!

 

This is my buddy's MG

 

Nice car but to many accessories

 

1965, got a '58 Austin Healy 1000 six...I substituted a 327 and Muncie M20. Pontiac 4.11 rear, then traded it off!
I feared I was losing my 'image'...

 

LOL I would hack a 3000 in a New York minute. When I was a kid I used top pit with a guy named Kilcup who had a Healy with an injected GM 6 in it. A V-8 would just be easier although for me a Hemi would just be too big and bulky ( well that and I don't own one).

 

Sorry guys I have been out of town braking my car.
Now we may start with a small block Chevy
Not sure of the to be drivers skill level yet he talks big but he is big.
So if one was to put a full cage in it would it take away from the look to much.
As being one that like the look and nostalgia of the plan I feel safety needs to be Incorporated.

 

Build it

 

Assassination is a legendary drag car. Anything built in its mold would rock.

 

Danny Kilcup, Portlands' own. Quite a drag racing legend around these parts.

 

I do have a 406 small block that have been collecting parts for since about 1986.
Maybe its time to get it in motion.

 

Looks like something I would drive/trash...
r

 

Maybe we could do the rock,paper,scissors game to see who gets to drive.
Best two out of thee.

 

Better get started meltdown is only 227 days away

 

Should be able to do that with my eyes closed if I win the Lottery.

 

I was thinkin the same thing with my afx project

 

Well my crew (if you can call them that) did put a little towards that.
I know it takes a bunch more but we wanted to show are appreciation for your help last weekend.
