Nice pictures Stewart.
Do you have anymore?

yes a few more - maybe 50 more of so :-)

Well I sure hope you find the time to post more. Since I own a colt with a smallblock I have alot of intrest.

Thank you Stewart!!

Stewart, you know I modeled my Colt after Don's. I never realized that the winshield came off with the hood though. You are the man!
The next paint job will not be black(as it is now) but as close to the Nationwise colors as I can make it. I just couldn't do the Hemi. It will have a 542 wedge between the rails in about a month.

You all tired of these pictures yet? :-)

NO! but I'd like to know the reason for lifting the car so high?

Right, they have to bring the car in thru the roof - dimensions of the wind tunnel are critical for good data - doors are not good

Thanks for the knowledge, didn't know that.

Keep em comin'

Too cool Stewart!! Thanks for sharing the picts. Is that the Marietta GA wind tunnel?
Thanks for serving as the Mopar Archeological Picture Guru!

I guess that means that Oldfield made it down last week? Any idea of what wind tunnel that is? I doubt it's the Lockheed tunnel. I think that one is really huge.

Thanks Stewart,those are priceless.

That wind tunnel is the Canadian governments

Mike S - I have more of those photos and will post them. They came from Mr.Hoover.

Stewart,
Great pics! Do you know what the findings were of this wind tunnel testing?
Thanks for the pics.

They were testing the aerodynamic numbers of the Leal Arrow and the Carlton Colt - surprisingly the Colt was better. But I do not know the numbers

It is all about sharing the history and keeping it alive. Thank you all for wanting to see, hear, and remember all that has made Mopar Drag Racing what it is today ??

Don't throw photos away - send them to me and I will scan them, burn to a disc and return them.
