Swaja was responsible for both Tony Nancy wedge cars of 1963, the Yellow Fang slingshot in 1963,[2] and "TV Tommy" Ivo's Videoliner in 1965.[3]

He designed Tony Nancy's first dragster, "The Silver Car", in 1963; it was built at Tommy Ivo & d Rod Pepmuller's shop, with the aluminum metal bending done by Bob Sorrell; the car won "Best Engineered" at its debut, the 1963 Winternationals.[4]

Among Swaja's other projects were cars for Rocky Childs, Ewell-Stecker-Kamboor, Fred Fischback, Scrima-Milodon, Dusty Rhodes, and Eagle Electric; he also did Hot Rod's XR-6 roadster.[5]

Swaja became good friends with Nancy.[6]
