Agreed! I wasn´t aware that the Jouster was a tube car. Was the body all fiberglass?

Dean also built (or had built)... a tube chassis dragster when he was in Tucson, Arizona. Ran mostly in the sand, but did run at Firebird and 1/4 tracks in AZ. Never had paint, so it was bare aluminum body skin. Ran an ARPM engine. Now owned by Chris Morley.
