I'm new here to the FB. This is the kind of thread I've been looking for. I don't have the knowledge of these cars you all have but I'm really enjoying the posts here.

A few years ago I saw a restored dirt car at a local show and have been hooked ever since. Shortly after that I found a soft cover book, "Dirt Track Auto Racing 1919-1941" by Don Radbruch. It has information on the different areas from coast to coast and small bio's of some of the people involved.

As a retiree I don't have a lot of funds for restoring some of the old racers I have found (3 so far). As a result I'm building my renditon of an early '30's dirt car. The nose is built out of the rear corners of a '29 sedan roof and some 18ga. I had laying around. You can also see the front of the frame made from 10ga CRS. The project is on hold till I can come up with a pair of '46 -'48 Chevy front fenders for the fuel tank cover and tail.
