Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

I have a whole box of 1956 vintage 18k gold leaf

 

I can’t even begin to imagine this! You are going to blow up BG next year with Ruckus!!

 

Hell the cam will be flat, or the rear end will me blown up lmao!

 

what is this thread about ??

 

Whatya mean?

 

I like that green so much that I showed it to Shery thinking it would be a good color for the (currently under construction) nailhead 4-sp 31 sedan. She poo pooed that. Said it was too fluorescent or something. Oh well. Even though she doesn't do manual transmissions and will probably never drive it I consider it hers so she gets to pick colors.

 

Then we thrash again!

 

What else do you have to do?
You are "retired"

You definitely need some gold .
You know what they say "Green for the money and gold for the honeys"

 

9" engaged. Don't have axles yet. And I had to order a new driveshaft, another $400

 

Right on! Nice welds by the way. 31 spline?

 

Yeah 31, 3.89 gear. Clutch style posi

 

Ok, me too. 4.11s with a Detroit locker on the street and 4.56/spool for the track. Maybe you need to try that one sometime! I'm kinda hoping to find a 5.13 setup to try in the 1/8th mile.

 

or an 80s porn movie........

The 9" is good and super low gear ratio for going a few miles to Cars & Coffee isn't a big deal. Wanting to do longer trips = Quick Change. I've got one of the big Speeway Engineering ones with a Detroit Locker in it. https://1speedway.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=72&product_id=104

 

They're but a phone call away! some of their prices ain't bad, and I'm impressed with everything I've gotten.

 

Get that 5 speed right away too!!!!!

 

They have the best prices on quality equipment... PERIOD! What I don't understand is how in the hell can they sell the same stuff that Strange does for 200 bucks less? I can drive 45 minutes to Strange Engineering and pick up the same center section and be charged 200 dollars more than what Quick Performance can ship it to the house for! It just don't make no sense!

 

Volume amount of sales.

 

Lol you obviously have more money than me! I promise it's getting the TKX, but it'll be sometime before spring

 

I'm impressed. I was a little let down when I learned that they didn't go pick the stuff off of a shelf and ship it, but it's all good. I looked at the pattern on the gears, looks awesome, and feels fine. Of course I could've upgraded all of it, but for what it cost, I'm more than satisfied. A+++

 

Updates??

 

I've lost 16lbs they emailed me this morning on the axles, said I'll have them by Friday. And the driveshaft shipped. Wait a few minutes for me to post it, and check out my new gasser in the off topic section centerline wheels aren't accepted in these parts

 

Just checked tracking on the driveshaft, says it'll be here tmrw.

 

Sounds like you will be back on the road soon.
Just a update from one of your loyal faller's that never gets their car done or out of the garage
I just got back from Rock Falls raceway and the Fallout Drags. Made 5 passes in the car, helped a fellow racer and didn't break anything.
Now to your defense it did take me 7 years to get this one back on track.

 

That warms my heart James you're a good dude

 

I love it when a plan comes together! Extra points if anyone can remember who said that!

 

Holy crap, that was quick! Mark is of course 100% correct! One of my favorite shows growing up.

 

Lloyd glad I could make your day.
I have another event in 2 weeks at Tristate Raceway but I do need to do some repairs on the car car before that.

 

But you have to be holding a cigar when you say it.
