tribute to Hugh Tucker

i always loved watching this car run at lions drag strip back in the day. i always wanted to build a 1-1 car like it. the only problem is, it's a '28 chevy. hard to find in 1-1 now. i thought i could use a '29 ford instead. i bought one and thought i would see if it was even possible to modify one. maybe, i should have bought the model first. oh well. what do you think?
the cowl is a '32 ford and the body is cut off on the bottom and the doors are shorter on their width. it's close, so i think i will give the 1-1 i have a try.

yes i made the intake from a blower manifold and evergreen. i couldn't find one in my stash for a big block. i wasn't to concerned about perfection, as it was really just to see how the whole car could come together. like i said, i have all the parts in 1-1 to build it. thanks for the replies.
