I came across this and some other old drag cars today. A local guy is almost done with the restoration. He is trying to get it ready to go to bakersfield in about a week or so.

Here is a shot of the funny cars in the rear of his shop. I'll ask him who's they were. Looks like a 69-70 mustang

And the other looks like a 70 camaro.

I'll be getting some more photos over the next week, the guy asked me today if i would help him finish it up. So far he has done the work all by himself and is not really a mechanic. He just loves old drag cars. Tomorrow we will go over there and dismantel the car so he can get the frame painted over the weekend and then we will put it back together hopefully by next friday. I can't believe this funny car is just 10 miles from my shop. I really can't believe that i get to work on it.

This car is only going to be idling and reving up a little, they have no plans to run it down the track. They may do a burn out at the finals in pomona.

More pics to come tomorrow after final assembly.

John,

You said it was about 10 miles from your shop, what city is it in?? I’m not far from your shop either.

What would it take to see these cars in person…. If even possible??

I just got home from the shop where they're building the Hawaiian. All I can say is WOW!!!

The guy who is building the car has done an excellent job and it looks great!!

John, Thanks for letting me stop by the shop to check it out, you guys made my day!!

(don’t be surprised if you see me tomorrow afternoon, I might have to stop by to see it with the body on the chassis)


Thanks again,
Brian.
