Bob Albert # BA1927
He had the car for sale here on Class Racer and listed as S/G S/ST and I called him on it. He said they had won a D-1 Pts meet with it.
By the NHRA rules it doesn't need doors because it was a car that came without a top.
1927 Fords did not have tops.
Google 1927 Ford and follow the rules.
See this line out of the NHRA rules -- Cars without tops do not require
working doors.
