I JUST saw this! Thank you George and Freddie for posting this drawing!!!!!!!!
My Dad Steve Conder, is on the left, owner Denny King center and my Uncle Billy on the right. Cedar Creek Drag-O-Way (the "Dust Bowl), Louisville...
This is what I had in mind when I started the thread... Actual spec built NASCAR, built using actual techniques from that year, but with lights...
Beautiful job Hank!
I've seen 15x14s in aluminum. 16x11s too, lying on the factory floor un-machined at Halibrand in Kansas. What's strange, is when the company was...
I just discovered this whole thread! (I don't get on here much these days) FINE job. This is one of the cleanest, well thought out shoeboxes I've...
Man, I'd give anything to talk to his son. Do you have a contact number or address for where he moved to?
Is Ed Weimer still alive? Does anyone know?
Could it have been the car and body were new when Pete drove? The slicks on the car in the crash pic are 64 era thumbprints. The "Jungle Four"...
This car was built when Pete Ogden worked for Woody Gilmore. It's not the same car as the one above it from the previous post. Story told to me...
Thanks for posting this Ryan! Thanks to everyone for commenting as well. I love this car and have it planned to the last overly time consuming...
Mercy.

I'm about to GEEK out...I'd love to do a clone of both the '55 and the coupe! I drive down "Paradise Road" (Frates Road on the way to Petaluma) at...
Thanks! Nope, never driven. Someone bought #1 and turned it into a wedge motored nostalgia 1 car, yet to be raced. It's Donovan went to some...
Yeah!!!
Rocky, I am stoked beyond belief that you've set-up Eagle Field this way!!! I also applaud Stormy for smokin' the tires. I thought Brian was the...
So pretty soon there will be 2 that are actually attempting this. I hear Drag Racing involves 2 vehicles....Should be good.
Beautiful!!!!!!
believe it!
Balls. '60s fuel pilots had 'em for sure! And, it looks like these guys have 'em too....
Plenty of slicks to choose from, try Coker for the Firestones and Radir too. That "closed or open rear" deal is another question. Nobody seems to...
Royal, I think there were a LOT more guys that thought like us in the '80s and early '90s. I've been searching for video of NDRA runs lately, and...
I actually have time to look at the computer! Brian, there has GOT to be a way to do this FAST. Most of the exhibition smoker runs from the '80's...
I'm no where near moneyed up enough to run my car, but I'm surfing youtube tonight and found this... 1980's I think. Gerry Steiner and Sammy Hale,...
THANK YOU to the NDRA guys posting. If there is any insight you may have on smoking the tires now, please post on the "smokerslicks" thread...
Brian, Kiwi Kev, Lippy...and the rest of you kooks are my !@#$in' HEROS. Brian, if they ran 7s smokin' em in the '60s (and the '80s), so can you....
I would imagine it'd be hard to find a 'glass front end for a '53(?) Ford! It's weird for me when this car pops up. It used to sit abandoned in a...
The Flash is a post, not a hardtop, but that is a bad '55!
Sorry I'm late Brian! I just found this... Beautiful as usual man. I noticed on the cage you moved the front hoop back closer to the rear. That's...
