Default Re: Need info on late 50's front engine dragster

Thanks. the guy i got it from has had it for years. i have been working on him for 10 years to sell it to me. It was a shame to see it sit in the woods like that. the guy never sells anything so i was shocked when after we had lunch oneday he said go get it. It has a 1953 6 cyl chevy engine in it with 3 speed trans & hydraulic clutch. looks like an olds rearend front end looks like it's off an old 30's coupe. I don't think it was ever completed because it doesn't have any throttle linkage or brake lines and motor doesn't look like it was ever mounted properly. It's in storage now when i get a chance i will take off body panels & look for any identifing markings. I have seen a lot of pics of late 50's dragsters but not quite the same as this one. I was hoping somebody would recognize it.
