Projects Toymaker's Twin Engine Dragster Build

Yea but the manifold isn't near as cool!!!!

 

On the aircraft they just mount to the axle like a spindle mount. They do have a brake drum on the inside so I would assume that they drilled a mounting bolt pattern there.

Check with the guys out at Eagle Field. They might have a similar wheel out there that you could check out.

 

I'll be darned.
Proves your never too old to learn something.

Got invited to do a photo shoot in Downtown Fresno last night, the photos should be on hotrodcoalition.com soon. Here a sample from Lee's cell phone and yes we di make some noise
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

 

Been gone since March, had to cold turkey, spending way too much time on this glorious Ryan's World ride.

Catching up . . . just too cool for words, Rocky!!

Props for making Roddin' At Random in the Oct. Hot Rod mag.

 

Thanks Brer'!

count me in rocky, ill vote for yu as many times as i can.
i love your build

 

Thanks Mark!
I've made some promises to myself and they include beiing more motivated on a regular bases in 2012. I need to completely tear the car done and and final fit some items. The engines are also of concern so last night I pulled the REV Marine engine that TruckJim gave me and found NO Difference in the Crank oil passages as compared to a Standard Rotation Engine. I felt this was my best shot of knowing due to the fact it was a marine engine out of a boat.
So anyhows, with the 307 laboring like its wounded and it's 350 partner unable to hold water due to some Freeze cracks I'm gonna put some "better" engines in it, both 350's and both with the 461 casting heads.
A quicker way of describing winter of 2012's task's is a check list...............
Install Helmet Bars
Install Main Hoop uprights and kidney bars
Mount Aircraft Tank with Metal Straps
Upgrade Clutch
Chrome Brake Handle, Front Axle, Wishbones, Tie rod, Spindles, Drag Link and Front Engine Plate...It is a CA Car afterall
Powder Coat 3rd Member after replacing 1 housing end
Seal Cowl to engine plate on Top
Baloney cut the exhaust
Fish Body Panels and install Dzus tabs
Upholster the seat
and detail and paint all the parts, pieces and frame.
Gonna be a busy winter! Rocky

 

Ya got our first vote Rocky!
You forgot the T-bucket on your list.

 

Well Rocky I somehow managed to remember to register and vote, 12:03 A.M. Jan. 2nd to be exact. Will have to wait until tomorrow to see if I can vote more than once. Either way good luck, Scruffy.

 

Thanks Tom, and actually I'm pretty excited about getting the body mounted also, it's going to be the icing on the cake!

 

Wow
This is easily one of the best things that&#8217;s ever been on this site &#8230;.don&#8217;t know how the hell I didnt see it before.
Well done Rocky / Ruler

 

Hey Rocky if you win are you going to get some t shirts made up with the car on it? I'll buy one!

 

Thanks 'Scruffy!

Thanks V8!

I'm gonna talk to my friends at the ShirtShak and have some done for sure this Spring, I'll post them here. Thanks 'Eli for your continued support! Rocky

Thank You poofus!

 

I am following the Chicago election plan--vote early and vote often. I have 2 separate IP addys so I will be able to double up when I get home tonite. Good luck Rocky.

Roo

 

Got my vote!!

 

Checked out the Champion site and saw the other contestants' videos. While there is some cool stuff I still think Rocky's dragster is the coolest. Got my vote in and will keep it up. Go Rocky!

 

Thanks Roo and your comment on my Champion Page is also appreciated! Rocky

Thanx Ken!

Thank You Eli!

 

Just signed up on the Champion website and knew it would be a crime against justice to not vote for you!!! I'll make a commitment to vote as much as possible, hoping one day of seeing the "Evil Twin" at a track near me... In south Florida, we have nostalgia tracks up north of me - Bradenton, Ocala near Big Daddy Don Garlits and I believe one near the Tampa area (this track has a tractor trailer style booth for announcements) etc. The best of luck to you and your son Rocky! Your rail RULES COOLNESS!!!

 

Mike That would be awesome, I diggin the Tractor Trailer Booth! My plan is with enough money to send my son places I can't go, which I thinking aren't many. Thank You for your vote! Rocky


WOO HOO, Were in the top Nine of the "Most Views"!!!!! To all my FANTASTIC FRIENDS Thank You!
