What are your plans for it?
I'm going to race it in the 2014 season. The plan is to update the chassis & cage where needed ertaining it externally, and mostly internally too, the same as it was in the pics. At the time it had a 340 with a four speed, C-body 8 3/4" with leaf springs and long & low ladder bars. I have teh major parts for putting it together, currently missing the flywheel, and the rest of the clutch stuff. It will be pretty much the same it was, a W2 headed 340 but this time with a Doug Nash 5 speed.
Here, if it works, is a small video of Finnish Drag Racing from the early 80's where this car is in the very beginning. http://yle.fi/elavaarkisto/artikkelit/drag_racea_1980-luvulla_33895.html#media=33904

Kenny driving the wagon at the 2011 NHRA Bracket Finals at US 13. He was racing in it Super Pro - foot braking it. I think he was down to 6 or 7 cars... It was amazing to see him taking out all the dragsters and electronic cars with this little grocery getter.
Quote:
Can you find out what size rear tires he is using and possibly what rim offset and width ?
Did he modify the tubs ?
Thanks
cool car
