This body was a prize from one of the events I entered. I don't remember who donated it, please take credit if it is yours as it is nicely done. Shows 427 cu. in. on hood. It is a drag car from one of the many I have, a 33 Willy's powered by an AFX chassis with a mean green arm. Runs quite well to as a stock AFX runs between 10 and 14 MPH with an ET of 1.0-1.5 seconds. This one is in the .6s @ 21 MPH. 33 Willys

That is way cool! I would be interested in a body like that if someone knows who cast it.

That is a Hairy Canary casting that I customized awhile back. Here it is at Bear Creek on a Tjet chassis before sending it in as a prize. Nice Dave good to see it stayed with you. I miss Rick's stuff! They were awesome castings!

Thanks for that Jeff. I did win one of the classes at the event when I got the body. I did convert it to run with an AFX chassis and run it did. I think I got it to run in the .62s after I took the picture which is respectable for an AFX style car with a 6 ohm arm. I am not the best with paint or body work but I can make the cars run well including full size ones.
