Just stunning pic's.... After the late 60's / early 70's, just my opinion, the era of the altereds were over. I certainly respect the new altereds for their design and performance....

Dutchman, I'm new to this site and far from a policy maker, but I can't imagine anyone not liking those pics. They are fanatastic. I have one observation on some pics. Your very first pic is of the Mother-in-Law altered. If you look at the header outlets, three of the four on that side have something in the pipe header, resembling baffels, but I'm sure not a baffle. In an action shot of the same car several pics later, they are not there. I wonder if they were some form of header closer/plug to prevent dirt or prevent the valve from cooling too fast?? I hope some one knows what they are. Keep the pics coming. They are great for studing the parts and combinations that were running back then.

That pic of the interior of the Screamer altered is fantastic. Couple of things stand out. The push button trans (chrysler torqueflite) console for the trans must have been crazy in a car like that. Just finding, gripping, and shifting a stick must be hard enough in an altered, but to find and push a button with that kind of acceleration and the antics that the altereds did. I can't magine it. But that doesn't mean it ain't cool. The other thing is the suicide door/doors. Just to have doors is different, can you imagine having some body flex during a run and having the door come open. It definitely makes that pic about an early car. Those pics are great. We have a guy around here (Glendale AZ area) that built a fiat Topalino altered street machine. I have to get a pic of it when I see it. Tunnel rammed small block Chevy, solid mounted body with ingress and egress thru the open roof. It is a really good close copy of an altered. Makes me want to build one too. More pics Dutchman, more pics. LOL. Oh yeah. One of the most famous altered pics of the Chanook. Just a classic. Mark L

I just bought an old Altered ,basically saved it from a slow death.
It has been sitting for two years in a shed.
Use to be the Thriller.

Thanks

Many-many years ago at Pomona the track starting line was sooooo bad that during comp and altered took out he tree, Cleaned up that mess and before the workers even finnished putting there tools away they sent another pair of cars down and another altered ran over the tree again.
