The new dragster  "Grandpa's Toy"

June 5th 2005, I won on eBay a rolling 1960 Chassis Research dragster chassis




The above pictures were taken just after bringing the car home from Fargo, ND. If you recognize this car or
 know anything about it please contact me.

The search now begins for the necessary parts to make a complete running car.


One of the first items found was this brand new never used Hilborn 6-71 injection unit.  This unit was sold by Hilborn
on August 24th,1961 toRay Erickson Speed Service in Chicago. Since then it changed hands
several times but was
never put on a car. The fellow I got it from had it on a shelf in his garage with a mail
box on it for a scoop.
