Hey congratulations Donnie.  My 57 almost made it back in 2013, but alas, the magazine Modified Mustangs & Fords was discontinued before it was featured.  I have about 150 real nice photos done by Jim Smart, but they never were published.  Getting your ride featured in Street Rodder is a great honor.  By-the-way have you had your Gasser out on the strip yet and if so what have you turned?

Hi Bob. I haven't taken it to the track yet. I do get asked that question quite a bit. HRD

I never got the chance to take mine to the strip after installing the supercharger.  My last attempt was back in 2009, just after getting some M/T Drag Radials & CalTrac traction bars.  I bogged coming off the line at 4,000 rpm. So I never got the chance to see what it would do on a clean run with the tires pumped up enough to allow them to slip just a bit and launch without bogging.  My guess is somewhere in the low 13's or upper 12's.  I'll just have to wait until it is out of Santini's.
