Title: Looking for old magazine article??
Post by: Mr Froggy on July 06, 2017, 10:45:21 AM

I am looking for an old magazine article from the 60s about building a dragster.  If I remember right it was called "So you want to build a dragster".  I have the Hot Rod article showing Don Long building the Ed Pink, Old Master dragster.  I have a few thousand old magazines but I'm going blind trying to find it.  Does anyone remember what title this appeared in?   Pop Hot Rodding? Drag Racing?  Thanks!

It was Car Craft, March 1967..."So you want to build a dragster?". Let me know if you can't find it

A better version was in one of the HOT ROD little books

Thanks Bruce! The article in the little book also appeared in a two part series in Hot Rod magazine in I believe March and April 1965.  That was the Don Long article I referred to.  Great article!
