Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
That is a sweet looking body, Any other shots of it before the paint?
What chassis are you running under it, I am just an armchair athlete when come to full scale stuff.
I love the shots of the shop, the white walls, and clean floor. Looks freakin awesome from here.
Post some more shop pics and shots of the car as you progress, specs included! Great stuff you have there man!

Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
That looks freakin awsome!! What are the general rules for Top Sportsman.... i.e what engines, race format etc?
I live very close to Santa Pod Raceway in the UK.... its nothing compared to what you get in the States but its prob Europe's premier drag-race venue.... me and my mates quite often go up there to run our road cars in open RWYB. Due to the raceway there is quite a strong local hot-rodding & drag race following.
This is my mate's dad's 56' (he also owns a more stock looking 55 Chevy with a 'blown' small block)
My mate (the son) own this 105E Anglia.... it is actually quicker than the big 56'!

Very nice! How big is the vaccu-former for that body?Tim W. wrote:

Is everything on the body painted or is it vinyl details over a red /white base? I can't even imagine how many hours must go into this transformation.

Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
nice car, dude!
other that street racing (LOTS of street racing ), and the occasional trip down to maple grove for friday grudge nights, that's about all the drag racing i've done. i do have a couple years of 1/24 scale slot car drag racing under my belt, though.

Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
Wow, those are some incredible cars! I have a 68 Camaro with a blown big block in it but haven't taken it to a drag strip yet. It needs a bunch of things (mainly safety) for it to be allowed to run. I'd like to sell it this spring for something thats ready to go.

Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
Amazing work guys! I do a little drag racing but nowhere to that level. Here is my 10 second street/strip ’91 Stang, it has the typical stroked small block w/ blower combo, runs on pump gas and the AC still works. I’ve owned this car since ’93 and have done all the work myself (except for the cage).

Re: Any other drag racers on here ?
This is a old thread but figured I would post some pics of my car now that it's done! Also of the dragster I picked up last summer!
