Got the shifter knob completed and on the dragster....... Then got a start on the blower manifold................... All laid out and ready to go................. Drill all holes first to check fitment on manifold................. My CNC machine..............bass ackwards like me............... Final fit before porting it, good layout always helps................ Well its a start anyways................................. Oh didn't say I also burned up my cheap ass chop saw motor as my metal saw blade finally gave up the ghost so shit, nother thing to by............ and the beat goes on............
Yea Tim you can't believe just how long I have looked for that Schlitz knob it was under some papers in the toolbox that I haven't moved in ten years...... sure am glad I stumbeled across it though, a long lost friend indeed!! Pays to clean out your shit every now and then................
Wow Carl looks good Now I know where to look when I want beer Br Kjell .............................. Taildragger&fenderless
Hey Carl: You might want to think about using a 5/16 NC counter-sunk allen head bolts for your fasteners. If you want some, I can send you what you need! This would keep the bulky fasteners out of the 'air'. Looking Good my Friend! PS: Are you going to be at Bonneville? Dale

This would keep the bulky fasteners out of the 'air'.

Looking great, Carl! I really hope to get out there this fall to see you run! Wanna pick me up at the airport? Lol!
You come out here Buddy and we will do more than just pick you up!! Got more than just low Tim looks like they are all there...... Dale thats what I was going to go with...........
Well its Friday and its been hot this week so progress has been slow as I melt in the heat! But did get some things done and got a trial fit of parts for the blower...... Got the allen head bolts in... Checked for clearance for my big mits to put this together.... Trial fit of pieces...... So now its time to figure out burst panel then start welding it all together for a cooler week!
Thanks Lippy afaulk yep I's got all kinda axes, pick axes, hand axes, square axes, round axes...........half axes....
Nice delicate hand you have sticking in the housing. Good thinking ahead Carl ... looks great. Vergil
Once you have that blower on it, you'll never go back! Keep fabricating away, if you need anything, let me know - am always willing to help in any way I can. If there are any special parts you need designed in 3D - happy to do the task. We'll miss yah at BVille! B&S
Yea Don we will be adding it at sometime, but first I want to make passes with the 3-2's, then 4-2's then 4-2's on alky then the blower, sort of a progression thing with me. But first I wnat to make sure I have all the parts ready....... Virgil, yea I try to look at things I do from a mechanics viewpoint as I'm the one doing the work on it so I want to make it easy on the mechanic.....ME Thanks Tim and Dale and you guys have a blast at Bonney this year I will be thinking of you and the salt!! And Dale yep I know I will never look back but I want to get there in steps. After I put the huffer on the ICT I said I will never build one without a huffer on it for me anymore, and I love the truck...............
well finally got around to replacing the go pedal with something that is more approiate, had this for a while and finally got around to making it fit..... Needed to add a toe loop and a mount for the linkage....... added mount attachment Toe loop... WaLa its in and operable.... Sure like it better than the ol POS I made origionally.....
Hi Carl The pedal looks really nice in there and the linkage is smart too! Please post some picture from the other side of the firewall! Have though of making linkage too, but it's gona bee tricky, all theway up to the injecktor. How do the race-calendar look like this summer/fall? Kjell ...............................
