Flaming frank pedragon="worlds fastest mexican"

 

Have the HotWheels 1:64 version of that car sitting on top of my monitor at work. It's way bitchin.

 

Sweet, I would love to have something like that !!!! One of these days !!!

 

the profile shot is perfect.

it's not easy to figure out what the body is, Fiat isn't it?

Cool looking ride.
doesn't seem to be much room for tire growth...

sweet

 

.......BADDASS!!!!

 

WOW, thats cool. He should talk them into runing that at next years HAMB drags.

 

Just another normal boring day at the Foster household...

That is damn cool, man.

 

Your dad might be getting older but he sure isn't losing any of his talent. That's a time warp if there ever was one.

Frank

 

Hubba,Hubba. Will they be re-enacting Flamin'Frank's fire burnouts withit???? Sparky

 

Those cars are/were so cool. It's like taking the altered wheel-base to the EXTREME. At least there's someting that resembles a car in there.

Mexicans are cool....

 

Well thats another one to add to the list....Fiat bodied dragster!

One question. How comes the Hemi has such a forward tilt?

Draw a line from the crankshaft to the center of the rear axle. then get the engine as low as it will go for wind resistance
either that or it fell of the wood blocks before the photo was snapped

 

Cole..we will be there Saturday to paint "World's Fastest Mexican" on it for ya....

 

Very cool. Any pics of the orginal car?

You oughta build one. Very nice looking. Can't wait to see the pics of it going down the track.

 

Reminds me of the great Pete Millars "Chicken Coupe"
Very cool!

 

Will it have any streamlining (bodywork) in front of the engine?

It looks sweet either way but just curious?

 

Cole .. BRAVO to your dad ! ... another fine FOSTER job.

 

Real nice, and it brought back memories! As it also got me thinking of Pete Millar´s Chicken Coupe, or the Cresent Coupe as I know it. It was sold to the UK in the early 70´s (?) and later to Sweden, here it was raced as the Cresent Coupe. I now there are some guys in the States who are looking for it, but sorry, I have no knowledge of its current whereabouts (though I guess it wont be hard to find!). Pete Millar did a lot of drawings for the Swedish magazine "Start & Speed" in the late 1960´s and his car was frequently shown in the magazine.

 

Very cool Cole, thanks for sharing.

BTW, the Crescent Coupe got smashed on the loading dock on its trip to the UK, seems some worker left it hanging off the front of a pallet and it was smashed into a wall or the container? I forget all the details.
