Every time I see one of those it brings back all the memories of the golden era (50's and 60's) of drag racing. I don't know how many models I built with engines similar to the one pictured. Bantam and Fiat altereds, gassers, and rails. Heck, even the old super modified dirt cars (precursors to sprint cars). For me, it's the ultimate look and setup on a retro looking street rod. My built 496" full roller BBC sounds nasty anyway...very lope-y. And with that look, I'd be driving my chopped and "Z-ed" '40 Chevy Sedan with a smile as wide as the windshield.
