Dean Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hello all,I just signed up in hopes of finding more info on a car I just bought. Or should I say what's left of it. I've recently bought all of the fiberglass parts from Tom McCroans The Funny Car. I was hoping someone out there has more info and or maybe photos of the car? Here's how it looks today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
