is that the dad of Pat Austin who drove the Castrol TF dragster after Gary Ormsby passed away ?
Yep and Jim Hume built the body. http://allshops.org/cgi-bin/community/communityalbums.cgi?action=openalbum&albumid=9980137908524Are those flames just polished and the area around them a burnished finish or brushed finished.

Yep and Bucky's brother.is that the dad of Pat Austin who drove the Castrol TF dragster after Gary Ormsby passed away ?
Bucky is still racing. A guy I know works on the pit crew. We saw him at the Nostalgia Drags in Bremerton Washington in August. He bought the old Cadillac dealership in Tacoma Washington and turned it into a drag racing museum. He had a crew that was restoring old race cars/dragsters at the same location, my neighbor was part of that crew, but with the economy that has pretty much come to a halt I think.Off topic Dan, but are the Austins racing any longer? IIRC it was Bucky that had an awful incident in his alky funny car that gave me chills just reading it. I'll see if I can find and post it.
