I want to build a 100 inch wb front engine dragster and put it on the street. Has anyone had luck with this, I see it being no different than the old school street rod guys. Lights, charging system, cooling and a state issue vin and title?? Input anyone?

I remember one back in the mid to late 70s in Hot Rod magazine,that one was a long wheel base though.Do a search on the HAMB,might get some ideas.

I would think by the time you put front brakes and larger tires on the front of it, it would loose a lot of its appearance as a slingshot. Guess it wouldn't be much different then a long wheel base "T" bucket. Might want to check into the titling and licensing issues before you get started. These states are getting picky about what they are allowing on the street these days. Gene
