That's actually pretty cool!

 

There's not much more bad ass than 1960's Oswego style super modifieds. Jimmy Shampine comes to mind. Those guys got really creative with chassis design and drivetrains.

 

Tell us he is headed for the winners circle.

 

That is an 32 Ford Roadster Quarters,28 Cowl,gas tank located in drivers Door!
We are working on tires for restoration of this bad boy.

He's some mo Foo's

 

Hmm, all of those other cars look positively gay compared to the #32 car

 

Nasty engine fire in that one photo!!!

 

Looks like The flying Finn was almost the Frying Finn.

 

That is way cool!

Man check out the huge stagger on the front of the 33 car

 

That thing has a HEMI??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very cool car. It looks like it's channeled about a foot or so.

Love the expression with the flames rolling off the engine! I assume he made it out ok and the car wasn't hurt too bad.

I am thinking some new screen background images.

 

I'll never be half the man he is; head sticking out the "partial" roll cage and a turboed hemi damn near in his lap, sheeesh!

 

What Kind of engine was ran in the 32 car, does anybody know, I can't get a very good look with these pics?

 

Looks like a SBC to me. The Canister type oil filter and rear dist.

I've often wondered how a guy like this gets his legs and BALLS in the same pair of pants. Gotta be better than Viagra.

Looks like his right shoulder might even be on fire.
