Hot Rods Chassis Research Dragster sees light of day

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 61cad, Aug 20, 2012.

  1. We got the dragster out yesterday for a little day light.... Then it rained!

    Bob Hilton worked on the Chassis, body and custom headers.... Brandon painted and lettered the car!

    This is a REAL Chassis Research LW-106. With orginial quarter elliptical front springs, chrome front axle '37-'48 spindles, Blown SBC with Fresh Hilborn Two Port, 8-3/4" Mopar.

    Very nice looking car! The right hand steering isn't seen too often, what steering box is in it? Bob
