Clean T Bolt
 

I just got back from my Trip to Fort Collins to pick up my TP motor and shoot the S@#t with Blair and his buddies. Turns out the guy whos house I met him at was John Cooper a SS drag racer. He Runs a Fairlane in B but he just got done building the sweetest T Bolt I've ever seen.

Very Nice T-Bolt!

Are those ballast bars over the rear axle?

No those are the mounts for the wheelie bar. The car should hit - 9.20s when he gets it on the track. Blair just delivered a stout Hi Riser for it.

IMHO it is the nicest T-Bolt out there bar none.

Here is the car he just painted for Blair.

One of my favorite Fords of all time. I love those cars!

Growing up, there was a local guy who knew just about anything you could know about Thunderbolts and I think that more than a few had been in his possession. He is a fun guy to talk cars with. Here is his most famous T'bolt. http://www.legendarycollectorcars.co...t-larry-davis/
