Double Shot in a Ford Flathead Powered Dragster
Next to the double flatheads, the most eye-catching thing about Flathead Jack's dragster is the great-looking body. Greg Westbury from Westbury Hot Rods in Concord, CA, handbuilt it from 0.040-inch aluminum. Westbury also did a lot of work on Jack's custom Merc, which can be seen on the Flathead Jack Web site. Once the sheetmetal work was done, legendary hot rod painter Art Himsl, also from Concord, stepped in to finish the body with the world's longest scallops. The lettering was hand-painted by Basil Platt and cleared.
