Click on the Small photo *NM*
Our friend Cliff Read did an Austin Healy gasser a while back, I hope he chimes in... *NM*
An Healey Drag car that says What a gas! Not to be mistaken for one of Cliffs builds not even in my dreams! PIC
I built one as well, probably around 25-30 years ago. Sold it while thinning the herd earlier this year..... Thinking that maybe I'll build another..... *PIC*
That's really cool Marty. One of my favorites of your builds. *NM*
Super cool build. Although I gotta say, I prefer your 49 Ford gasser "Class Bully." *NM*
Re:Here's the one Ray remembers from our college days in 1966: B / Modified Sports
Yep... That's the one, I had a few pics of it on my computer and just uploaded them to my Fotki to post them but you beat me to it... LOL *NM*
Hard to fathom that it's a 53 year old build... Still looks fabulous Cliff. *NM*
CORRECTION: That's a 57 year old build... *NM*
Oh heck yeah!!!!! I am diggin' where this is going!!!! *NM*
Here's mine....pics....
Very cool and smooth! *NM*
hmmmm...has me thinking here..... *NM*
VERY nice Dave!! *NM*
Totally geeking on this - have plans for my AH's...
Question for the AH gasser builders: are you keeping the stock frame, or, do you have other choices/plans
Good questions. The chassis looks to be structurally strong enough. I couldn't find the size of the frame nore the thickness of the metal. One could also beef up the frame rails. As for the foot wells, ....
Prior to 1967, an automotive frame was required in NHRA Gas classes. Those guys had to reinforce the stock piece; Anglia/Prefect, Austin, even Willys had thin-gauge frames compared to Fords and Chevies *NM*
