Need info on late 50's front engine dragster

------Bruce,,,If the car is unfinished there is almost no chance someone may have seen it unless they go hunting around there. It is cool, however, as I cant remember ever seeing a Stovebolt powered dragster quite like it......Bill S

I guess i was asking if anyone had seen the same type of chassis out there anywhere. I want to restore it but if it's something rare i will try to stay true to what it was originally. If not I will blend oldschool with some updates to make it what i want. I'm thinking smallblock with Zoomie headers,Moon tank,etc.

Bruce, the guy you need to talk to is David Crane. He is the dragster historian for Michigan. He's in Battle Creek and was the "hot car" tech guy at Martin Michigan US131 Drag Strip in the 70's. If he doesn't recognize it, well good luck. His phone # is 616-965-4711 . He loves to talk about old short wheelbase dragsters like yours. Give him a call.

Thanks John I will call him & see what he has to say. I just don't want to jump in with both feet & find out later i should have gone in another direction.
