Just yesterday, I posted two of his dad’s photos of my brother’s AA/FD from Englishtown in 1966 at http://www.doverdragstrip.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1880 in a topic that is pertinant to this picture. Wierd coincidance…eh…?! 😯

Welcome to the site. You have found and restored my favorite top fuel car of all time. Jim and Allison Lee always
had well prepared cars that were quick fast and pretty too. I always enjoyed watching Allison working on the car she
could do any part of the engine servicing. I am posting a couple pictures that I have of the car. Will you be at the 2010
hot rod reunion in bowling green?

Cullyflower,

Thanks for the pics, they’re great. Bowling Green is a planned stop in 2010, please come by and say hey if you’re there too.
