Projects Front engine dragster aluminum chute tail

Last year I built a new moly 150" dragster for a guy named Randy. He is a HAMBer named Thrillbilly. And as a hobby he messes with metalshaping. All over his garage is bowls, scoops , gas tanks and abunch of other things. So he had me build this dragster so he could do his biggest project of all. A over the head chute tail full body. All aluminum. This man is a true craftsman and a hell of a cool guy. Looks like he has nailed the true look of the diggers of the 60s. ( like the painted one pictured here).

Good job Randy, this thing takes my breath away.

I knew there was a reason I got up early today. That's just fantastic.

 

VERY sweet!!!

 

WOW!Perfect!!

 

Very Nice!!!! Is this the guy that shaped the carb. scoop you have? Also, a local KC guy might be getting in touch with you to build a rail for him.....I tossed your name out a couple of weeks ago.

What a great job he did!

 

Nice!

 

Wow . . . made my morning coffee all the better! Would love to have a rail like that - with a big blown 92 up front . . . hopefully running on pop.

 

Looks great Brian. Does he want to do mine as well to save me the trouble.

that is sweet!!!!

 

Fantastic way of giving a new legal cage a vintage look. The car looks good without the body too, though. Wish all the new REDS looked this way.

Damn thats the shit right there Brian! HELL YES!! If only modern fuelers could be as much of pieces of art as the '63-'68 ones were...

 

Yeah Chris it is the same guy that made the scoop. Here is a pic of that.

 

Wow. That long swoopy tail has the look of the Assassin or the Tom Hanna dragster. Vary well done!
