1972 Dodge Colt
Just back from an 11 hour, 730 mile round trip to Floydada Texas. Spent almost 3 hours with Mr. Don Hardy yesterday. What a great time for me and my wife. We spoke with Don about my Colt and the days when he would build 20 cars a year. He was a real treasure of information. Don Hardy was Car Craft Chassis Builder of the year for 4 straight years. He showed us his current business, and his small private museum. I was blown away by the whole experience. Did I mention he was also a U.S. Army Vet? Just a simple, hardworking Texan who made a huge contribution to Drag Racing. The number of people who had cars built or had Don work on their cars would be too long to list. I am so glad I was able to meet him and spend just a little time with him and get to know the man. Thank you Don and his son Donald Hardy. Here are just a few of the pictures from the day. The wall of pictures are of magazine covers, National Dragsters and key cars he built. I hope you enjoy them. The last 2 pictures are where my Little Colt was reborn 46 years ago.
