Well I play 'cos everybody else seems a bit shy.
I don't buy either of the two major OZ magazines 'cos all they seem to have is standard thinkin' '32 Fords. 350/350/9" both
repo steel and fibreglass. While some are really nice cars it all seems pretty same old same old. I'm an old front engine dragster racer and dig lots of old race cars - I'm having a love affair with early lakes and track T's these days and one of the interesting things about them is that lots of them while Fords at first glance they were on other chassis, Essex being the frame of choice and Chev and Dodge also. If you were building a race car why would you bother to swap a different makers body onto your frame? I don't see a 23T having much in the way of an aerodynamic advantage over anything. Seems I've run a bit off topic but there is lots of alternatives in both body style and engineering.
Cheers
