...and here are some more drag cars
Here's one of my idols, Mr. Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins. He still has a shop in Malvern, Pa. and he's still building hotrods after all these years.
Here's another 67 Camaro. This is the one I just won on e-bay. It's in great shape, but no box with it. Oh, well.
...and here's the famous GeeTO Tiger.
I found alot of cool stuff I forgot I had while I was digging this stuff out. I really need to find a way to display more.

Those look terrific, also, Alan.

Nice cars Alan, I have the same Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins car...
I will have to post some pics of mine when I get back home, currently in Hanover NH, over to Vancouver on Sunday, down to LA on Thursday and then not sure, but will head home to New Zealand on the 12th Feb, so it will be a while before I can post those pics

Very cool, Ned. Here's why I like drag car die cast......
This will give you a little better idea of who I am.
Here's the car I used to drive to work everyday for a while.
It wasn't very good on gas. (about 5 mpg if I took it easy) and it only had a ten gallon fuel cell in it. My 1SG finally told me to stop driving it because it was "too much for the street". I think it had more to do with me setting off every car alarm in the parking lot when I started it. Eh, maybe he was right.

Very cool Alan.I'll bet that was a blast to drive on the street.
I hope you did'nt have too far to drive as it could become very expensive,LOL
Here is a couple of our race cars.
No,we do not drive them to work.

Whoa! Those are nice!
I'm not real good with Mopars, but is the blue one a 67? Looks like a B-5 blue car as well. I like the Sub-lime car, too. Yea, the Olds was fun to drive, I lived four miles from work, so it wasn't too bad. I made 3 trips a day, so I would get about a day and a half out of the fuel cell before I had to fill up again. It took ALL of my disapline to not get pulled over by the M.P.'s. It was a 11.80's car on the motor and should've gone 10's on the juice. All I managed to do was destroy the rear end 5 times on the juice.

Alan,the blue one is a 68-b5 blue.The lime car is a 67.
I'm old school,no juice all motor on all the cars I had.
The blue one runs on average low tens to high nines.The lime car will run in the eights.

Ah, well. I was close. I told you I wasn't very good with Mopars.
Some people look at nitrous as cheating, but think of it this way, for a street car, it a way to shut off half your engine so you don't beat the snot out of the bottom end all the time. The new car I'm building is all motor, .....sort of. It's blown and injected. I have a 6-71 for it now, but I think I'm going to give that to my wife for her Camaro. I thought I was going smaller to lower the horsepower, but the rest of the engine is out of my alcohol dragster, so I'm gonna put the 10-71 back on it and live with it. I'll just re-jet it for fuel. I love your 'Cudas. My Chevelle will probably only do 9's on gas. Where abouts are you? Maybe I could come watch you run when it's gets warmer.
