Re: Dick Harrell drag car (new thread)
You are not going to like this and I have left it alone on purpose.I am wondering why anyone thinks this was ever even a real funny car other than the body? The Chassis is far from an up dated car.I havent seen lower rail like this since about 68.and then only a few.99.9% of all the cars built after about mid 70 had the headers outside the rails, The roll cages were dragster type with a much narrower frame. What you have is a Comp. Eliminator car or also refered to as a bracket car.The more I look at pictures of this car,I doubt if they would have let it run as a funny car past the year of 1970.Funny cars had blown or injected Nitro engines.Also your car would have had to have a SEMA approved tag welded on the roll bar or a stamp on it as of 1970 As far as the tin goes. Don Hardy used to work for Logghe that also built the same type of car and tin work.I would have gladly dropped this had I not recieved calls from others who are not on this site.The car was on Fuel coupes and Nitronic Research while on Ebay.I am sure lots of people can say what to look for on these cars. what they cant tell you is what the past 5 owners changed to make it the way they wanted.I have seen 4 of my old race cars and only could recognize 1 of them.I am over this subject!
Good Luck sanding.
