My current ride is nothing special
before the exterior got painted...
I wouldn't call it a "CockPit"...LOL

I don't really have too many of the interior of anything

"sort of" a few old ones, sorry for the crap quality too

my 23 t Altered, old 80's T/A FC Chassis,
converted to an Altered, so I could also run nostalgia events...

this was my 49 Ford Pro Gas 8.50 car before it was done
simple basic stuff, for that time, less is more

Budnick, the photo of your altered at Sac. Raceway brings back tons of memories as I made a few hundred passes there in the 70's. Pro Gas was a fun time..

Sorry not to get way off track/subject

It was great back then, we had 3 great local tracks,
that all ran the series
It had some real heavy hitters in that class regularly,
at Fremont Raceway, Sacramento Raceway & Sears Point...

good/fun times

I remember IIRC early 80's
Bob Bunker blown 55, Dave Riolo N20 55, Fatman Jack 46 N20 Ford,
Torkelson's 56 Blown T-Bird, Nicholsons Blown 62 Vett,
all ran into the 7.70-7.90's, when it was done very often in full bodied cars...
Except Pro Stocks maybe...
{they all ran in the SCTA, Gary Meters, Goodguys & Nostalgia event stuff too}

also Dave Sullivan 70 Hemi Cuda' a few I remember in full bodied
door-slammers classes, it was big crowd draw & pleasure to see/race...
They really weren't lightweights like today
It changed the door-slammer & Pro Gas classes for ever...
that was a huge deal back then...

I remember very well when Dave Riolo & Bob Bunker's new 55's
built by Chris Alston, right after he broke away from his brother
"Tom" Alston Engineering & started his own Chassisworks...
Trick lightweight freaky fast cars...

never mind the date stamps they digital photos of Polaroids
I did a couple years back so I could post here

My 49 Ford 1st N20 than Blown alky,
was based on the Chassisworks 55 chassis, that they both had,
minus the F/C Cage back at that time, I added that later, for 7.50 cert.
we had the CACW shop foreman Jim Berg in our org. & for help too,
he had a bad *** little low buck & fast N20 Vega...

Mine & my partner Jim's old cheap *** 8 sec. 67 N20 Camaro too
{brand x stuff , it was a lot more affordable Mopar stuff was like worth it's weight gold,
not really readily available either, unless it was T/A Hemi stuff, which I ran latter on, in both cars too}

Though mine look stock they are home made. Magnesium frames with packing crate foam cut to match a Hemi Dart Seat that we digitized. 18lbs a piece including the mounts.
