Howie's new ride.

[budnate]

Holey smokes Howie ... that's a early VW front beam!

looks like its been there awhile....is that what they ran on it in it's prime?

I like it! find any motor parts with it?

Bud, back then that was the trick front end. Wes Jerde who built most of the motors for the
Harrell 68 funny car. His Nova " Nova too Much" which was blown & injected 64 Nova had the same front end. I talked Marion Fairchild about the front end ,he explained that this was the
first torsion bar front end. When you think about it you have two bars that are adjustable
independent from each other. You can pre-load the front end. Way ahead of it's time.
It was few years later before you had coil shocks.

PS Wes's car is up there in those 4 pages of cars above.
