Projects Toymaker's Twin Engine Dragster Build

Rocky;the dragster is looking good!! When do you sleep?!!!! ROY.

 

To much lately Roy, time to invest in Red Bull

 

Lookin good Roc. Can't wait for Oct and getting to hear her run in person!
Just keep on keep'in on and you will get there......................

 

WOW! Double Trouble!

 

WOW, found these and have to have them!!!!!! They'd top off our intake just right don't ya think Carl?

 

Wow trumpets in and trumpets out what a deal!!!!!!.............

 

I especially like the lightweight intake they're bolted to.

 

This is so rad.


GO GO GO GO!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the "props" guys, I can't wait to drive the Twin like I Stole it!

 

I think it looks a lot better since you rotated and indexed the transmission with the stick straight up. It's going to make for a real short axle on the right hand side isn't it.
Are you going to use a spool or leave the differential open? Disc or drum brakes??

Yep the short axle is almost 12" long, Mini Spool and Drum Brakes for now.

 

This car will be a virtual hoot ! You ought to take it on tour when you finish.

Started to take the engines out last night and decided to start fitting the body, not looking forward to 'Glass work. After getting a look at the body on the car off it came and time to get the engines out, modify the bellhousings, and..........................................................................

 

That would be SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool Tom, I'd atleast like to make the HAMB Drags, we'll see what finances allow next year.

 

Automotive Orgasm! Modified Roadster on steroids. That thing is going to be awesome Rocky. Keep at it.

 

She's coming together nicely!!!!

 

Loveing the whole build and that body looks sooooooooo right!

 

Thanks Guys, the part I hadn't been looking forward to was removing the engines for the first time..........but it all went as planned and now I can fit the other bellhousing, install the steel flywheels and clutch while Lee finishes the welding. It looks so Naked without the engines!

 

....... and sadly lonely.

 

That's because it is naked...Time to get that body fitted!

 

Keep us updated. I could potentially make that one.

Wow Roc, how far back are you puttin the turtle deck? looks purty long to me or are you gonna put wheelie bars underneath it? anyway keep up the good work..............B&B is movin on, on their build see ya in Oct......

 

The Labor Day weekend has been great and gives me a good feeling about making a pass or 2 at the Eagle Field Hot Rod Gathering October 8th.
The Dual Ring Gears were a little bit of a pain but I finally got them on with the teeth aligned.............

This photo shows how wide the teeth are now..........

My son Lee Tig welded (equally spaced) the Ring Gears to the new Steel Flywheels............

Here he is in action.........

Fitting the LH Bellhousing................

Flywheels Installed, bellhousings fitted and awaiting aome 1/4" steel Plate to fimish them..........

My 4:11 9" Drop Out a friend from Eagle Field gave me, looks good but in need of a good cleaning, new pinion Seal, and install a Mini Spool before it will be ready.............

Lee finishing all the Chassis and Front End welding, I drilled & tapped the King Pin set screw holes, greased and assembled the spindles, and just waiting for my clutch disc to be returned with the 1 1/16" hub so I can install the clutch before setting the engines back in.................

 

The Turtle Deck was mounted when I bought the body and needs to be removed, raised and reattached. I just hope I can get the body mounted before Oct 8th. Time will tell, see ya soon!

 

Hell Yeah!!!! Cant wait to see film of this smoking them at Eagle Field!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ditto. Definitely a cool build.

 

Wow Roc you are a man on a mission looks bitchin!!! Ring gear work looks ausommeee..................

 

I wouldn't trust a mini-spool that's running right in front of the family jewels.

 

Perhaps he's going to use some of that 1/4" to build a "jewell case".

More likely, a back plate for the diff.

 

i dont know how i missed this, but i am now subscribed. this looks like it is gonna be very cool.

i would love to build a twin engine digger using inline chevy sixes mounted inline.
maybe someday.
