well even though im only in my early 30s ive always want a nostalgic done drag car, i think they were just the coolest things in the 60s with the names on the sides and the odd paint schemes. even though im a buick lover at heart, and was really thinking about doing a early to mid 60s skylark or special with a bbb in it, i just happened to get a rolling bodied 67 malibu. its a very solid car, but its missing all of its guts. no interior of any sort or engine. it has all the body panels, glass and already has a 12 bolt rear end in it. im thinking this would be a dam easy car to make my creation out of. i have some sbc's laying around i could use even though a big block would be cooler. i would love to here some of the guys who were around in those days suggestions. im kinda thinkin old school tunnel ram, maybe a 4speed, old school torq d wheels or maybe dog dishs of soarts, 6 or 8 pt cage, not sure what they did for seats back then weather they used racing seats or what.i found this cool old pinup poster while i was looking for ideas. thought id share it.
Dan , maybe I can help you with some info . I was in my hey day of racing back then with the gassers , altards and modified productions . Even still have the 48 Anglia I last raced in early 1970 .
Picture....Too...small.... So dissapointed Haha! Was that picture in Hot Rod (or that Hot Rod classic) Magazine? Better
thats cool mike, i dont know why i like them so much but when you see the pics of cars like the old ramchargers and everything like that there just cool. i figure with as much fun as i have racing my regal, something like that would have to be a blast.
thanks alex, i realized after i posted it that it was tiny, i had gone back and got the bigger version also:TU:
