Thats the cars of the century. Yep saw a lot of them on the California cirute way back when. I remember a lot of drivers saying if you owned a willies, you owned the strip. Great builds there Jim.

These are nice, you have really built them with the "right" look!!! I started the pickup years ago. I think it is still lurking in the stash somewhere. Maybe someday.......

Way to go Jim,
The 33 is my favorite, back in the 70's there was a guy around here that ran a 33, with a SOHC 427 Ford with the hillborn injection pipes. great wheel stander. later on the same guy stuffed a Boss 429 Ford into a 69 AMX, it was hell on wheels.....
Thanks for the memories....

your very welcome! I like the old days of drag racing too.
I remember seeing a go kart that ran 220 in the 1/4 mile! 1 inch off the ground too.

I remember that Go-cart from California! I think it was the one with the enclosed streamlined body and powered by two McCullack chainsaw engines. The top on it was 227.6 at fontana Drag Strip. Went by in a blurr.

Nice, a blurr, we had a guy out here with a 66 Baracuda, 426 max wedge & a roots type blower (off a 6-71 drip-troit)...just sick to watch, swear the guy would crap himself as every launch...
