Rocky

 

Zookeeper (very cool name..!)

Keep looking there out there..! Thanks for the kind words...

Rocky

 

Hi Jack,

Your one step ahead of us...! All ready talked to Beaver Bob, and he said bring her on up...! Don't know if we'll have the entire driveline in place by then, but if every thing goes good, we should be able to do a "smokie".

Rocky

 

Sparkswillfly, pan-dragger and 65 impala,

Thanks for the kudos.....! I look forward to getting her done. I'll post some more updates later in the week..

Rocky

 

Zookeeper,

The funny car is our "go-fast" machine, it's a 77 Firebird, we built her a few years back. Best ET is a 6.47 at 212 mph. We have fun with her, and run her a little harder than we do our other cars.

Lookin good Rocky, thing i like about the stuff you build is that isn't just a show piece. You put them to work, that is impressive. Later oj

 

That Marty Danko is a good man.........But you already knew that!

Looks killer!

 

That looks like to much fun.. Does anyone know were i Can get blueprints to build one like that.....

 

Thanks OJ, wish there was time enough to run all of them, this year we're going have four cars running, We hope to get Freddy Bear behind the whel of the K.S. willys, how cool will that be....

Rocky

 

Hi Joe,

Marty is great guy and a very good friend. Marty did the headers on our K.S. car and they came out beautiful..... I'd recommend his work to anyone..

Rocky

 

Great job! I'd love to do it to mine. I was thinking about a "removable" body so I can have 2 looks. I just can't find a body.

 

It's the original bug catcher, they removed the ribs later in production, now enderle is selling the bugs with and without the ribs. Nice project Rocky, gotta love those fiat's.

 

Rocky,
When and where is this going to happen.
G***er Girl

 

Rocky,
I vote for the willys home run because 1. Its where the car debuted and 2. Were going to be there.
G***er Girl

 

Whats' this either/or - do'em both

 

We're doing our best to make it happen, I'm hoping Maple Grove and Lancaster. Waiting for the people in power (the guys with the $$$$$) to give it a green light.

Rocky

 

Damn that is sweet! Great job. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

 

very cool. where does one get a body like that

 

Rocky:
The whole package is great. Thanks for sharing.

You need to line up against Rich for a photo shoot. That would be cool.

Heres a Pic from the Beaver that I took of you a couple years back....

Thanks again and good luck.

 

Thank you....! I'm looking forward to seeing it done too....lol


Rocky

 

Hi Ratster, glad you like it. The body is from fellow H.A.M.B.er Mike Guffey. I don't know if he has any more left, but if you pm me I'll send you his contact info....

Rocky

 

Hi LZ,

Glad you like it, we have a couple of projects going on at once, but once we make some more progress on the dragster, I'll post some more pics. Thanks for the shot of the Boss Hydro, Beaver Springs is one of my favorite tracks.

What's cha think Rocky ?????

 

This and the "Sudden Death" car were the inspiration behind the coupe I'm building. Plans are to incorporate a little of both into our final product. Pat Foster is one of my all time heros and I'm glad to have been able to call him a friend as well.

Rocky
