It's pretty cool to see a nitro hemi getting rebuilt in the bed of a pickup ;D

Lots of good stuff in there...

The Rod Shop B/A Hemi Colt openes it up and in there you'll see all kinds of goodies like, the Gapp and Roush Maverick, Dick Maskin's Gremlin X, Wally Booth's Gremmie, Jungle Jim's "red" car, Top Fuelers with wheel pants and at least one shot of a hydrogen peroxide rocket car being towed to the starting line.

Neat collection of stuff!

Brian,

While perusing the photos, I noticed the trailer of Larry Huff's Soapy Sales Pro Stocker in the background. One of these Pro Stockers is currently owned by a friend of mine here in Topeka. It was originally purchased as a "body in white" and he aquired it about 10 years ago. I will see if I can get some pics of it so you can see it in its current configuration.

Great stuff! For me, that was the "Golden Age" of Drag racing.

Ron, that would be sweet.

I don't have to go far for my vintage drag racing pics. This is the "art" my wife used to decorate our living room and being as awesome as she is, she pulled it off without making it look like we live in a single wide.

Here's my view from the couch...seriously.






You know your wife rules when you have the infamous "Muffler Magic" photo on your living room wall!

you gotta love wives with the graphic arts talent. I'm marrying a motion graphics artist in Sept. For Christmas, she snuck into my photo archive and put together a pair of badass yearbooks that look like something Time / Life would put out, all the pics from bonneville and probably 200+ different cars I tuned, on the dyno, racetrack, etc. Slowly our house decor is starting to look like yours Brian.

Loved all of the Vega and Cuda Style bodied Funny Cars. Makes me want to get the Hot Wheels out for the Kids to play with. Might just do that and have our own Saturday night at the Drags.
