Spent the day today with Jim Hunnewell at Garlits Museum and went in the backroom to catch some of Big's hidden treasures, not open to the public, and latest restoration. I worked on the last tour of Swap Rat #34 dragster in 2003 with Jim and Don before his final retirement. Jim is a master fabricator and has done most of the restorations at the museum and is currently restoring the AMT PIRAHNA and hopes to have it completed in the next few months.
Here a some shots of the restoration and original build pics.
