Sorry I missed Bertolucci. I met him about ten years ago at the Sacramento Autorama when I had the roadster there. Nice human. By the way, Chris. Cool shots of the Belly Tank (#664) I crew on. Wayno

Farmer-

I dont know who owns it, but I believe its from So Cal.
That car has been at Paso for the past 4 or 5 years, with each year showing a little more progress. The deck lid is a Buick hood, and the whole thing has been tacked together or fabbed. It won best unfinished Kustom years ago.

RoadDevil, WOW, cool story. You really need to make your own post with this so more folks will have the opportunity to read it. Congrats on breaking the record! Can't even imagine what that feels like. You should be very proud all all your hard work and dedication.

Sodbuster, great shots! Thanks for sharing. I, for one, never get tired of looking at salt photos.

 

RoadDevil...what size engine did the belly tanker run? Is it normally aspirated or blown? Congrats on the records! Awesome, we really dig it.TV

 

It not mine but one of the guys in the club. Its a very warmed flattie normaly aspirated running on laughing gas.
