Tom,

That thing Rocks!!

Sure looks to be the real deal. What info do you know about the two small blocks that came with it? What's the rear setup like? Do you have the bunch of detailed photos taken of the car to document it? -I'd like to see a few, check your PM.

Way-Cool Piece

Thanks, Paul

I only got one of the engines with the car. SBC with Hilborn injection unit, vintage unit from 1968.

Yes...lots of pictures.

The dual air meter injection unit is a 1963 unit and I've never run one on a car before. I've spoken with guys that have run them on Cheetahs and they say that when they're right, they're awesome. I've got a lot of money tied up in a Rat motor for my current 1965-era Matchbash car so it'll probably be awhile before I get around to piecing together another motor to put underneath the injection. Always wanted to build a hi-revving 331 small block, maybe now's my chance.

The Crew ,both young and old at Nickey Chicago will be reproducing the Bill Thomas front subframes to be used to build your own funny/a/fx car.

These were sold out of the Nickey parts department back in the 1960s-70s.

We should have a sample and pricing ready at the Fall Chevy Vette Fest. Kit "A" will be just the subframe with loose brackets and you weld them up, in case you want to alter the front wheel base. Kit 'B' will be welded up, with springs, spindles, and shocks.

All kits/frames will be numbered.

Anyone who has seen John Tinbergs A/FX Chevy II, Psycho II Nickey Race Car or Tom Clary's Real Deal Survivor "Novacaine" knows just how cool these strait axle cars are!
