History Is an Allard J2X a Hot Rod?? Limeworks thinks so..update 01-11-10

Steve.........That will look great at your LARS open house next week on Thursday...

 

I'm hooked. I've read this thread start to finish. My only wish was that you left it in plain aluminum, or polished aluminum so that people know it's a hand made work of art. Great job guys, and thanks for the updates.

 

More of that, please!

 

Hemi...
Where did you take that photo of the red #8 J2X? Do you have any other photos of the car that you could send me?

Thanks,

 

The Allard looks phenomenal from the peek.....i suggest many go to LW open House next week, to see the rest...

Awesome Steve!

 

Steve is DA man and will do it justice

 

Allard Register - I didn't take that any of those photos ... they were all culled from the Internet ... just click HERE.

 

Although I agree with your sentiment, I'm glad Steve didn't. It keeps mine unique (I think!)

Ive been throwing some bits on the Allard & they are sticking pretty well , next week will see her done & in the Sun, just interior after the LARS.

 

She is looking proud Steve..........!~!

 

Re - Mystery Grille is from a Glasspar G2. See attached picture.

That's not the same grille...

 

FanTASTIC!! Looks GREAT Steve!!

 

It's the same grille. The red car has fibeglass covering up the center. Have no fear...you can check out our website. We've seen many of them. Best...Geoff

 

Just received the July issue of the UK magazine "Octane" which has a feature on the Allard dragster:



This was the UK's first dragster. Not only was the Allard a hot rod, but Sydney Allard was definitely a hot rodder. More details of the restoration of the dragster are available here:

Only just found this thread , i made a pair of doors for one of these a couple of years ago , it had a 331 caddy in it , it's in Germany now i think ,
Keep up the good work !

 

Ready for Pomona Once around the block for good measure.

 

Looks fantastic, Steve!!!!

 

I could be counting wrong, but I count a different number of grille bars in the mystery grille than the one in that picture.

 

Very nice...it is going to be put on the track or on the show circuit?

 

shot at the open house Thursday

 

Awesome job, that thing is gorgeous!

 

I'll find out what Alan , the owner has in store for the beast when he turns up at Pomona tomorrow , he has yet to see her in paint.

 

Waiting for the flatbed truck after the LARS I was in the NHRA Museum parking lot which was empty , as I was doing a few warm up laps I noticed the gates were open & could not resist the Kodak Moment.

 

Fantastic Steve. I am sure the owner was impressed.

 

Thanks Paul , Yes he was well impressed

 

Oh! This is perfect! I can finally say it after you saying it to me...

"This thing is the dogs bollocks! Bloody mental!"

How'd I do??

 

OUTSTANDING thread.....and OUTSTANDING job....Steve et all at Limeworks....the source of numerous parts on my '32.....it's now time for a cup of tea.........Jack
