this is a race car not a poser g***er so I know it is not period correcto. but will be a kool ride for me this summer none the less. 2x3 ch***is with a straight axle, will radius the wheel wells full cage,gl*** doors, fenders and hood. 509 inch bbcenderle alky injection,, glide w/brake. 9 inch strange rear end with spool 35 spline axles and 4.11 gears. need to be ready to race on april 1st. here it is today valentines day. built this much cage this weekend.
Wow! Serious effort there! Judging by the Z in the front frame, it's not going to be sky high? Injection on the BBC or carbs on the tunnel ram? Awesome build!
Nice "jump" on the project ..... what kind of number are you expecting with injected BBC? How big a tire you running in the rear? PACO
well we have a henry J racing with us with a 496 and glide and 4.11 gear and it runs 9.30s...I think big inches will make enough torque for it to get the job done
DRAGCR50...O that badboy is peroid correct! at least enough for me! HA! it's an allout dragcar so the mill realy doesn't matter. and i believe when you get it dialed in, she will go in the 8.00 e.t. I'am so glad your a H.A.M.B. member...POP.
well i consider it a g***er but some guys think a purpose built car isnt really a g***er, i think if the shoe fits wear it, and im gonna wear it all summer. the csga run at thunder valley in noble okla every month in a nostalgia eleminator series and we travel and do g***er shows at several other tracks. mostly 1/8th mile which we like ... as long as its racing we dont care.beats the hell out of sittin and lookin at em and talkin bout how fast it prolly??? is haha..... thanks
G***er or not, it's gonna be one fast J...I'm just glad I'm not in your cl***, otherwise I'd be getting whooped by that thing at every p***...looks like you're getting a lot done so far, keep it up...
right on, a pair of monkies could play inside that ****pit all day long I'll be looking forward to the progress on this one, that motor alone is enough to tip my keyboard from the back side.......sssshhhhaaaaaawwwiiinngg !
thanks dirty, didnt want to hear a bunch of whining about this or that, i will race it period........
Is the body now welded to the frame ?? Looks that way in the pics and just wanted to ask........& the cage looks very nice. Oh......why did you Z the front rails if your doing a straight axle? Sleeper of sorts ??Carl Hagan
well it helps to set up steering under the race pan with a straight axle but not sit way up like a faux g***er. It should be a pretty fast car and is easier to manage when not quite so high in the air...but it is still a axle car g***er without a doubt.. thanks and yes i weld them to the frame, and do an all powder coated flat black aluminum interior and have gl*** doors and hood and fenders for it. will be a kandy color ...
thanks Dave, I hope this is a keeper and can quit building one every winter, im gettin too old for this ....would be nice to keep and maybe go with a blower next year...
cool J, hope to see more....thats what it takes to be legal/compe***ive these days, nothing to whine about...good luck!
Great look, I bet the tubing bender was smoking if you did the cage this weekend... Keep it going and keep posting! racinman
