I talked with Lee Smith a little at the York Reunion when I took that pic, he was really cool. Not just hi, how are ya but some hardcore factoids to which he raised an eyebrow at me wondering how I knew this or that. He let me literally crawl around underneath the car which was great. Probably sort of odd seeing me on the floor under the car but when do you get to eyeball an original piece like that up close?
Those cars were truly wild. A factory altered wheelbase drag car just seems like an insane thing.

I'll run any Altered car here heads up for any amount of $$$ with my Altered Eazyrider chopper Minibike. First front wheel to the 20 ft mark wins. LOL.
Oh by the way, a friend of mine once threw away in the garbage an original 15/10 AFX stainless steel K-member because it was cracking along some points. Go figure.
