This is a Della Woods Omni body, and sets on a brand new S&W funny car chassis. We added some Good Year rubber — and this nostalgia funny car is looking good!
This nostalgia funny car has a Fab 9″ Ford non floater solid mounted housing, 40 spline, Mark Williams chunk, 4:10, 9 1/2 gear, and Wilwood rear brakes.
The puke tank goes through the frame rail.
Seat, steering, brakes, fuel tank, trans mount, the body functions perfectly. New sheet metal getting closer every day.
FOR SALE.
The body of our Nostalgia project is an original Della Woods shell, the same as the Budweiser King, Kenny Bernstein ran in the 1981.

We started this project with an S&W chassis kit. We are trying to keep the funny car cage low. A handmade aluminum seat was required. Currently we are just putting up tubing and tacking up making sure it all fits!
Our Oddy Beretta project would not accept the standard oil tank available. . . so we built a custom one. Since the fuel tank has to match the oil tank. . . we built that too.
Setting up the car and following the blueprint.
We received some valuable tech support from Mike at S&W Race Cars.

FOR SALE
Eastcoast Drag Times Hall of Fame announced 2015 drag racing inductees to include Della Woods an AA/FC, NHRA pro driver from 1969 – late 1980’s.
Della Woods was the first female driver in the 5 second bracket in the funny car class and the first female driver to go to the semi finals at an NHRA national event. She held the latter record for almost 22 years.
Della earned her license in 1968, signed off by Rodger Lindamood, Don Garlits, and Don Kohler. At the 1969 NHRA Winternationals Della Woods was the first women to have her entry accepted to enter a Pro Class race.
In 1985 Della Woods had a career weekend, running a career-best 6.02 in her Paul Smith-tuned Daytona and reaching the Funny Car semifinals. Woods’ accomplishment stood as the finest ever for a female driver in the class for 22 years until Ashley Force Hood reached the final of the fall Las Vegas event in 2007.
To learn more about Della Woods and her entire racing career, The Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame has put together her story.
Below is an iCanFab future project.
