    Jerry Clayton's magnificent "California Chargers"

     



    Following a suggestion by Bob Parmenter, I am re-posting a thread concerning the California Chargers on to the new servers

    Jerry Clayton, a member of this forum, and his partner John Keeling built some of if not the prettiest dragsters and funny cars back in the '60's and '70's ............ they were beautiful pieces of form and function ............. and quite advanced for their time

    It has been my pleasure to reproduce three of these vehicles in plastic and resin ............. and while they are not 100% historically correct, they do give the viewer a good representation of these rolling pieces of automotive art

    The first is their front engine fuel dragster .................





    ............. the second is their '77 Trans Am Firebird bodied flopper ..............





    ............. and the last one I completed was a replica of their rear engine fuel dragster ............





    Thanks Jerry ............ for all the memories

    I may not be good but I sure am slow

    That is some beautiful work John, glad you reposted.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
