Current photos of modern day "Nostalgia" race cars

Larry T I'm not sure what happened to the pic you tried to post, but here are a couple that I like. Thanks for the nod!

 

Wow. That thing is cool. Looks mean coming at you like that.

 

a picture of mine

 

Not long before the Triple D altered makes her dragstrip debut...

 

Great thread! Love the old and new pics equally, as long as the new look like the old!

 

When we were planning out how my T was going to look this same picture was sent to me by my buddy Herb (60 gasser) I never really noticed until just now that you also cut your cowl back although you took it back even further than I did. I think that and a steel top is what really makes a T shine. The 2 things I "borrowed" from your car are the steering setup and the low stance.
THANKS!

P.s Thanks ME.Gasser!

 

way way cool.........

 

Here are some shots of my altered. I had Logghe Stamping Company build it for me in '77 - '78. It was the last altered built by Logghe Stamping. Chuck Kurzawa welded it up. Bergler tinwork. I crashed it in 2000. rebuilt it last year (front-halved) and last September made some passes in it again. Ford 300 six and 'glide. New paint comes this Spring. Enjoy

 

Here is mine

 

Here's a link to a couple dozen "postwar" reproduction dragsters on the HA/GR forum right here.

Enjoy.

 

S/W chassie mid 70s

P.s Thanks Butch!!!

New for this year

 

I just finished this one for Tim Arfons (Art's son). The Dustman brothers did the chassis and I did the body, seat, fuel tank and wings. The car is basically a replica of Tim's first drag strip ride, a Hanna bodied Woody that he drove in the early 70's. The motor is a turbine out of a helicopter and should push the car to high 6's at 210 mph based on the performance of the original.

Holy crap Rooman. I thought we were nuts for running a blown alky motor in front. That is insane.

Does the exhaust exit high enough to keep from asphyxiating the driver?

 

W.T.F.!!!

 

Shit, Keith!! I hope he likes the smell of burning hair.

Nice work though.

 

this ones gonna be ready to race next week at the whitewalls and drags in ardmore. it was built in 73' in wichita falls tx, moved around to oklahoma with about 6 different owners, it had four complete paint jobs we took off of it , I decided to put the original name it had on it when it was born, even has the original wheels on it . sbc power very light, and fun

 

That's plain badass Sam! Did Rick paint it? Loving the colors.
