You say the car "was an old gasser", do you have any pics of the car before? As you may have noticed, original drag cars are a major interest to the folks on here, if yours is an old unknown, why not post a pic? Title: Re: Another Car for Rusell's Collection???

Fabian "Friend" I think you may be wrong this time, sorry...... The car is actually the old "White Lighting" i think. Im sure there is a pic somewhere in my box's, yes the car has been updated but other than safety features and engine and paint the shell is nearly the same. Pip, I know its your car and i also love the look and it is the rebirth of an old gasser, I like the job youve done way cool. However, i would like to stress the lounge is a frendly place and Fabian is a great guy (and my freind) he normally knows most things and has lots of useful information, you harsh words were wrong but i understand as a seller you were only protecing your interests. Please keep cool, we all have different likes and dislikes and there way too many Gassers that we dont know about ! but Im looking..... Russell Title: Re: Another Car for Rusell's Collection???

Title: Re: Another Car for Rusell's Collection??? Looks like and Old Race Car?? Post by: speedwell on November 27, 2019, 16:12:01 pm i've just noticed something , the original white lightning didn't have semaphores and here as show on the picture , flakey jake have semaphores
someone can explain?? Title: Re: Another Car for Rusell's Collection??? Looks like and Old Race Car?? Post by: Fastbrit on November 27, 2019, 17:22:56 pm Maybe simply covered over when it was built as a race car – hard to tell on white paint in an old photo. I covered the semaphores on No Mercy and had them painted body colour, so they didn't show up in some photos, either. Just a thought.
Title: Re: Another Car for Rusell's Collection??? Looks like and Old Race Car?? Post by: gokingz on December 31, 2019, 15:59:19 pm Flakey Jake is a 58. White Lightning is a 59. I am good friends with Jim Jones who did the original build on this car in the early 70's in California before it was sold and called White Lightning. It did not have semaphores. He sold it in 1976, possibly to Bruce Lowery who then continued to race it.

Looks like and Old Race Car?? Post by: gokingz on December 24, 2020, 18:58:03 pm After reviewing a few of the interior shots on Pip's thread, the original builder Jim Jones confirmed that it was indeed the car he and Dave Wasson built in the early 70's. This is based on the headrest in the pic, Pip confirming it had aluminum floor pans when he got it, as well as the Bug-In plaques that were originally on the car. After Jim sold the car, it changed hands multiple times. Martin Crossley bought it, drove it for about a year before Bruce Lowry got it. Sometime after that it, according to Pip's recollection, it ended up at the DeCoppen Bros shop. Then onto OldSpeed VW with LennModica. Then it came to Pip at The Compound with primer paint. I have some early pics I'll attach. First is one just after they bought it as a green / blue 59. Soon after, it was painted at B&S Autyo Body in Santa Monica, and pinstriped by Steve Feinberg who also did the graphic on the license plate light. It was originally had an 1835 that did 12.8, and was used for street races near LAX. Then a 2276 / Fumio heads/ IDAs was installed that did 11.70s.
