right now im rebuilding a old altered but not touching the original paint just updating the cage, i was just informed you can only run a fuel mask at hotrod reunions. does anyone else think this is bullshit im running one if i have to switch helmets while staging. just try and stop me nhra
@MrNitro65 Two thumbs up on saving the original paint. Ive got a short wheelbase VW pickup built in 69 thats been in long term storage. some of the muds startin to bubble but damned if im gonna fix and paint!!
It carried the weheels for the whole damn eighth mile! Wow lol Some crazy shit. Wish they were still a part of NHRA, just like how I love pro stock truck
I recall that the original car (which I saw at numerous SoCal strips in 1968 and maybe earlier) only ran a 354 inch Chrysler block (circa; 1956) which was unlike many other fuel cars of the era (The Frantic Four) simply because the chassis & tires couldn't really handle much more. I saw Willie drive this car many times @ SoCal strips (Lions, Irwindale, OCIR) and he always drove with one hand on the wheel on and one hand on the side of the body.
Got to meet "Mousie" last year @ Bowling Green. I told him, "without a doubt this is the BADDEST HOT ROD EVER!!!!!!!!! He liked that. Can't wait till I get to see them again.
@BucksOwin actually talked to Marcellus at a nostalgia event, it IS a clone........stick vs automatic comment? Would that have been the stupid comment about why Saboury's car uses a lenco because you didn't think anyone used them anymore?.............Maybe you need to actuually GO to a drag race and see that pro mods use either a lenco with a clutch or a Bruno/Lenco for a transmission.............why are you bashing me for saying the truth?.......What the hell do YOU think they use?
i guess nobody has a vid hof mike changing lanes and going between bradfords car, bradfords back man, and the wall from the hotrod reunion this year.......
This is some really balls out driving! How did he not wipeout on every run?

@BucksOwin .........The classic push start.
Al Marcellus still has the Dodge truck, which he uses to haul the reproduction Winged Express.
Now STFU you hillbilly truck driving musician!
