Dennis and John (R&B) built some of the first Fiberglass Funny Cars (A/FX) at the time....they built Don Schumachers first "Stardust" car....Injected Hemi.....Also built Mr. Norm's first Flip Top Fiberglass A/FX car..the 66 Charger that Gary Dyer toured the country with...they also played around with very lightweight junior fuel cars....after John moved to California and went out on his own he built the High End type cars , again for Schumacher, Barry Setzer, etc........He was one of the first to set-up Funny cars with Coilovers in the rear, at the time most were solid mount rearends....his Tall "T" street rod was cutting edge for the time... Handbuilt Independent Front and rear suspension with the rear tires inside the fenders (most stuck out at the time)........then he built an Indy car with a small block chevy and qualified very well, but as I remember they sheared off the flywheel bolts during the race, I think he also ran a 180 Degree???? crankshaft in that engine...Seen him at the SEMA show about 6-7 years ago and he was building Custom Harleys.....the one that he had at the show was so slick that if it were outside in the rain it wouldn't get wet because there was nothing for the water to catch on.........everything was hidden and slicked off......
Just way ahead of his time.....
