Don Prudhomme is now tackling the restoration of the top fuel Super Snake, and can still count on Ed Pink and Don Long to do their magic on the engine and body. A trifecta of originals

Prudhomme’s putting his old body shop skills to use removing the paint and filler on the aluminum skin. The dragster is all apart now, the chassis back with its father, Don Long, the engine being assembled by Ed Pink, just like in the old days. “I needed Pink and Long to do it,” Prudhomme says, “Because then it’s blessed. I might even be able to get the son of the original painter to paint it.”
