Jerry Clayton's magnificent "California Chargers"
Following a suggestion by Bob Parmenter, I am re-posting a thread concerning the California Chargers on to the new servers
Jerry Clayton, a member of this forum, and his partner John Keeling built some of if not the prettiest dragsters and funny cars back in the '60's and '70's ............ they were beautiful pieces of form and function ............. and quite advanced for their time
It has been my pleasure to reproduce three of these vehicles in plastic and resin ............. and while they are not 100% historically correct, they do give the viewer a good representation of these rolling pieces of automotive art
The first is their front engine fuel dragster .................
