Neat-looking cars! I like that red Nova. 
How about some chassis shots too next time? Does anyone still build their drag chassis from piano wire? Some "how-tos" might prove interesting.

Yo... Bill
This is an oddball I made out of a Polar Lights Kit with the same kind of WRP/BP brackets we are using in Retro Can-Am.

Ray, great-looking '55, one of my all-time favorites. Is there a drag class for this car to run in? With the scratchbuilt chassis and Super 16D motor, it ought to be quite economical to run. Thanks for the photos.This is an odd ball I made out of a Polar Lights Kit with the same kind of WRP/BP brackets we are using in Retro Can Am

Bill, with that combo... it's just a Super Gas Car (index=1.200).
Super Gas is the second most popular drag class there is. It is second only to Bracket racing...
