Thanks for the picture service, havn't seen the last one before, probably the Easter meeting which was the last time the car ran as we completely destroyed the glide and shortly afterwards the late Chris Worsell (1/2 owner)moved to the USA. Seem to remember the best the car ever an was a 8.21 at the Park - not too bad for a 2 bolt block!.

Second is the chassis with engine etc in (taken three weeks ago).

The last is a "Wendy's eye view".

So jumpin back a little(was gonna post yday) to summarise this thread so far,The iron horse chassis was a Sarte and is now Richard Brutons fuel altered,The showtime vette we talked about was a Sarte too(possibly in Malta) and finally the Chad/Oka Gladiator chassis of Pauls is a Sarte too?is that what we are saying?Or have i been drinkin too much again and got lost? :shock: :shock: :D :lol: By the way thats Paul thats a real nice job you have done on the car and hope you have a safe/ fun/ long future with it 8) 8) 8)

Hellfish, as a line from a song goes "two out of three ain't bad" - the chassis I have is a Buttera chassis, I originally thought that the Iron Horse / War Horse body had been on aButtera chassis (see article on previous page) which is why I bought the chassis we now have as I had also ben told that the original had been lost / destroyed and it seemed like a good plan to put a "period" car together.

Don't think the body was done by Sarte though as he had a trademark of using Pineapple shaped fire windows in all of bodies and this body has diamond shaped windows.

Muddytalker, I've found some photo's of the chassis I had. Could I send to you to place in this topic. Thanks

Paul, the steering from sitting in the car ran down the left hand side, but in saying that the chassis had been seriously front ended, bottle mounts, 2" offset, A arm mounts and extended to 125", so could have been changed over. I do think it may have been the JWR senator nitro car as the beretta body I had and chassis fitted perfectly.

The chassis you had,Are you talking about the Chad/Oka gladiator chassis or the Iron Horsre chassis? :? If im right in thinking the Woolfe senator became the Chabik/Hawkins/Riply car and that chassis was i think a Victory/Plueger car :?

I think mine was the iron horse chassis, but like I mentioned had been front ended to current spec and looked similar to a plueger. So with the body up and the front on full view people could believe it was a full plueger.
