Subscribing to this one...should be interesting. Come on guys!

 

here are some detail shots of Roland Leong's 1964 HAWAIIAN dragster



The trans is a 39 Cad / LaSalle 3 speed box using second and third gear only



Gear shift lever.....all the way in....second gear.....all the way ....high gear







There is a thread from 2011 called One More For Frank Morawski with a lot more shots..............hope this helps

 

here's a few maybe they'll help....

 

Here is an old picture of my dragster, kinda hard to see details but this is the best shot I have of the cockpit

 

Here's mine. Shifter is the knob to the right of the filler cap.

 

Sorry but this ones got to be here

 

Here,s mine mid-sixties Jim Davis chassis running powerglide and SBC.

 

Cars in the trailer right now but I have a B&M rachet mounted to the tailshaft and a link rod to a handle mounted to the rear end housing and a push rod to the reverse lock out. Its 1 hand opperational and the shift handle always returns to the same spot on both upshift and downshift and can never shift from low to neutral unless you start in high gear to begin with.

 

I have more I'm sure but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

 

Do a search for Butterfly steering wheel picture thread and you will find many pages of pics of dragster cockpits.

 

Henry's NHRA approved welded aluminum can, C-T gas pedal,
Fuller butterfly steering wheel lacking the wood grips all this within
the frame rails created by Jim Keeter and Dad back in late '63

 

THAT sir, was some sexy shit!

 

Here's a few of our ELTA Club track ride....an old 1969 Don Long chassis 200" injected sbc rail.

 

If you are looking for a place to put your junk in a FED, most of them require you to rest it on the differential!

 

I guess you say put your junk on the chunk

 

Yes you do
