OK Hambers here are some sneak peak picture of the recreation of the "Magnificent 7" Fuel Altered of Leroy Chadderton. Skip Davis is heading the project with Bill Gathin doing the fabrication work. Al Hawkins supplied the photos and is a consultant on the build since he basically built the first "7" car. All photo in my photos belong to Al Hawkins. Hope to see the cars progress and report on it.
