Some of you may have seen this one on Facebook but for those who did not here it is out in the sun. The owner picked it up during the PRI show and should be on the track next year. A former fuel Harley racer, he is building a blown alky 392 and the car is set up for a Powerglide. It is 200" and wide in the shoulder hoop because he is a big guy.

In one word: beautiful!

Very nice I remember that condition in the parking lot well. We are supposed to get an ice storm tonight

That car has a really nicely proportioned look to it. I have not seen a body rolled around the back of the seat like that before. Pretty cool. Is it going to be a 7.0 Pro car?

He said the he would be happy to run 7.50's but I think that he will have no trouble going 7 flat. Wrapping the body around the rear corner was his idea and I was not sure about it initially but think that it looks good. It was tough to get it wrapped tight at the bottom but it came out OK. Would have been easier with a Long/SPE style chassis with the big radius hoop on the bottom rather than the Woody with the lower rails sweeping up.

Roo, I like the car you built, good motor location, nice front end, great full body, and I really like the wrap-a-round back body. It reminds me of my wrap-a-round body on my real nitro JrFueler that I owned/ drove from 64-69 and raced mostly at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wisc, just up the road a piece from you.

You do build a great looking car!
