old alum. drag nose

HELP identify this old race nose,I think it could be off a old drag car,but I have no Idea. its been around and has plenty of battle scars,at least three coats of paint. One coat looks like it could have been red. some one must of seen this thing go down the track at one time. Any imformation would be helpfull. thank you.

 

I have no idea, but that looks cool ! at least ill bump you back up to the top ...

 

For some reason.it screams front engine roadster to me. Id examine old roundy round car pictures..

 

I call first chance if your going to sell it !!! ................dry lakes car

 

Doesn't look dragster, but no radiator hole????? hmmmm. Looks cool anyway!

 

I'm sure I have seen that nose before. I will have a look at some mags tonight. It is likely a front engined lakes roadster nose.

 

I would build a car around that!!!!

 

i think its a salt flat car

 

Looks suspiciously like this one.

 

I'd say you picked a winner!!

 

Rootie!! The louvre count is right. And the angle where it separates from the cowl looks right!

 

I think you better be looking for the rest of that sucker.

 

If I were a bettin man!

 

It's a scan from a old (61/62ish) HRM. I'll see if I can find it again. I'm pretty sure there was a caption.

 

Good work Rootie!

 

Being a History buff I dream of finds like this!

 

Good job man you nailed it.

 

X2, find a T roadster and recreate that car now that it looks like it's been identified. That nose would be the hardest part of that vintage ride to build.

 

well then, we happen to have my brothers T roadster here that is going to get a track nose. We can make a home for it!@

 

The front end off somebody's old grocery getter.

 

Holly crap thats it.

 

Wow, I was wrong as hell. That is it. It is louvers. Killer work, and in a few hours no less. Go HAMB!!!

 

That is a nice piece and even nicer that you have a photo of the car it was on, great find.

 

my email is [email protected] Im not to good at this ham thing but im good at emails I cant beleave you found that.I cant wait to learn more about it. Thanks JOE

 

There's gotta be some good backstory that goes with this...I'm dyin to hear it...

 

Great HAMB detective work! Now we to know who owned the car and how well it ran.

 

Rootie, how did you make that connection, remembered the car or the photo?

 

Im setting here looking at this picture,and after looking at the front end in my shop for the last month. I cant beleve my eyes. How did you ever find that,I knew it must have came off something COOL Thanks

 

So where did you find it?

 

I am always amazed when stuff like this happens here....that was a bad ass little car...
