    I've been building one of these in my head lately, here's my plan, buy a short 190" or shorter wheel base mid 80's era rear engine dragster roller, use the rear 1/4 panels, taillights with a (narrowed) deck lid, bumper from a 73 -74 Olds Toronado (I like the taillights & shape of the bumper and decklid). Bolt the tunnel rammed, Olds 455 motor currently in my car with another set of Basset Boat headers, protruding thru the sides of the body then exiting under the narrowed rear bumper with two 4" tail pipes. One of my main reasons for building a full bodied dragster is, I can enclose the radiator, charging system + it will be different. I need more pics of this style of dragster to help design the body.
