Projects 34 drag truck build

that thing is going to HAUL A$$!!!

Look up COOL in the dictionary and you will see a pic of this truck! Bitchin Ride.

 

yee harrr! this is gonig to be one wicked truck. cant wait to see more.

 

Very cool and speedy build. The truck is really coming together nicely. You really have a handle on how to do things right. Keep the progress coming.

DAMN IT BOY !

 

I like what I see, have you fish plated the kickup? Just wondering as with the hugh kick you might get a pretty big stress point there thats all.

 

I haven't decided yet , I've been going back and forth. I'm going to x out between the rear frame rails with 1-5/8 DOM. Then I going to tie that into the main crossmember. Also the cage will have to tie in from the main hoop to the rear frame rails. I would think this should support everything but I'm not a chassis builder.

 

very nice work !

 

This 34 is bitchen keep up the pics...

 

Thats good to hear, as I get the feeling that you might end up on the back wheels only a few times, so you would want to make sure there's enough strength when it hits the deck. looks super tough.

 

I thought you wre nuts to off the coupe to build a truck but I take back my thoughts. As a yankee would say Wicket Baaaaddddd!

Do the 582 with the blower, I need someone to play with next year, Hopefully by then I will be dialed in....

 

Fun build - very inspiring... Keep going, man!

 

pure sex

 

Nice Matt. Cant wait to see it rolling.

 

I think everyone thought I was nuts to sell the coupe. I'm farther along with the truck in 8 months then I was in 2 years with the coupe. We'll see what happens with the 582. Even if I run a single 4 barrell I don't think it'll be a too big of a slouch. You're on for a match race but hopefully you won't be too embarrassed getting beat my old pickup.

 

Man, that thing sure looks bad! (as in good!) Kinda sad to see that it's going to be auto, but it'll be a helluva lot of fun, regardless. Can't wait to hear it scream down the strip.

 

This is the way to build a hot rod, I love it

 

Great proportions - its perfect. I hope you are in good with the local cops or you will be getting into plenty of trouble with that. I keep contemplating putting a serious motor in something but know it'll just get me arrested, lose my license, etc.

 

Very cool!!!!

 

drflex approved

 

Man, that thing could have defended Pearl Harbor.

Great project... and great work!

 

Bitchin!!! I love it.

 

Sweet pickup. I like what you have done with it. It is going to be really cool, I can't wait to see more.

 

Since this got bumped back to the top I figured I'll do a small update.



I got the 1-5/8 DOM fitted and tacked in for the rear frame support.



I'm finished with the rear back brace and shock mounts. I added a piece of 1-1/4 DOM to brace the 4 link brackets and also 3/4 DOM to brace the shock mounts. I have to finish welding the gusset on the bottom then it's off to get the ends welded on and measured for axles. One step closer to being a roller.



I also got my x-member and driveshaft loop tacked in. I got a lot of finish welding to do. That's it for now. I'm taking a 5 day break, headed to Cabo tommorrow. Thanks again for all the positive comments.

Damn now THAT'S an x-member! This thing looks so bad ass, kind of the direction I want the one my dad and I are building to head in. Maybe a little less motor lol... What size are the rear tires and who made them? Looks killer, say hi to my inlaws while you're in cabo haha....

 

Yeah I know it's probably overkill but a little extra wieght shouldn't hurt me. The slicks are radir 10.00 x 15. When i go to the track I'll run a modern wrinkle wall. How far are you guys on your truck?

Holy crap, this looks familiar!

In my garage:

Great looking truck....
