Being an old racer, I love it. Remember the Vasoline on the rear quarters before you make passes at the track. Makes it a lot easier to get the rubber off.

I appreciate all aspects of automotive culture including seeing drag cars like that. Reminds me of my youth.

Dump the Pennzoil stickers though...like a cheap tattoo on a gorgeous girl....

Default I like the old water slide decals, but limitedly so
And tastefully placed just like a minimum with at least the favorite drag strip On the rear window and maybe the right ones on the vent windows! But that would be more for a gasser era car

I am not into stickers either, but to each their own! But this being more modern, the stickers are Ok! Maybe I would go for less generic ones and put more heavy hitter outfits related to the hardcore parts! But that is a great looking car!

Love it Sounds great. Solid axles make the nicest drag cars IMO. There was a red 61 in Carlisle a couple of years ago with a big blower. It was absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the kinds words from everyone. I didn't anticipate THIS much positive reaction. I am very pleasantly surprised and I appreciate all the comments. I think the stickers will stay.

Those are the types I would keep! I couldn't see good the other picture and haven't watched the video yet in these stupid iPhones

But that would be my thought, the venue or event and the class wins on the vents! Cool

Rex,

Again, that car looks incredible! And of course, the sound of that motor doesn't hurt as well.

Nothing wrong with complete originals (as they are very nice too), but a car set up like this is far more impressive for me!

Damn....I wish we were closer as I would love to view that car in person.
