Repeat photo posts are great!
Many of the early photos submitted are dropping off with time.
Might be a good idea if we start making sure the name of one of the owner/driver/sponsor for each photo be in the text of the post.
That would make it easier to search as a reference.

Found this thread looking for information about the car.
But , In regards to the Kessler Brother Hemi Dart
Yes it has a real wild looking interior , Dash , seats kind of reminds me of a 60s bowling ball bag. If I remember right even the headliner is done in the same fashon . Here soon I'll get down there a snap off a few pics of the car.
I build models of old drag car,,,, and I want to do a model of the car in 1/25th scale

The car belongs to a friend of mine and yes its still in KY .

Currently it has a mild Hemi in it running the crossram on top. The car is long retired from any kind of active competition ,,, But he actually drives the car on the street around here a few times a year .

Groovy....Roll another one.

Thanks for those. I was at the owners place yesterday and there is no way to get any decent pics of the car. Its buried in the back of the shop and you cant hardly even get close enought to pull the cover off ot it.

I build models of old race cars and have been wanting to do a replica of this car for years. I finally found someone who can make decals but we need some nice overall , yet detailed pics of the paint work .

Car currently has a mild built street hemi in it, with the crossram, crank triggered ignition, so it looks and sounds the part.
But it's probably just a low 11second car today,,even with 5.13 gears and 32" tall tires

Thanks again
Bill
