This is a painting I started about a year ago of the AA/A altered dragster. I started the building of this car back in 1969. I did almost all the work myself including the paint. It featured then a rare aluminum block 510 cu.in. Chevrolet engine. My first love was cars and drag racing before I decided that I wanted to paint. I'm basically painting this car from memory, although I do have a few old photos of it. Lots of chrome which I loved. I sold it almost as soon as I finished it to finance my first 4-color art reproductions deciding it was cheaper to paint than race cars. It did win competition eliminator class at the summer nationals which was held at that time in Bowling Green, Ky. I never saw the car again after it left my driveway. I missed racing so much, I couldn't even go to a race for fear of wanting to start all over again. Now maybe I can get the painting finished at least.
