Projects '64 Dodge A/FX - Returning a Gladiator to its former Glory

Roy used to keep the "Super Picker" and "Hee Haw Hemi" about 2 miles from my house in Oklahoma at Cotton Field where he kept his other cars and aircraft.

 

Btt

 

Lookin good guysl Good luck getting it going for the meltdown.

 

Yeah hopefully I can get home and bust my *** and get a little sleep in order to make this possible

 

Looks great, what did you use to make the valve covers look like that ?

 

They are magnesium with 40 years of patina.

 

Had no idea they ever made them , must be awful rare ..

Very nice

 

we didnt know they made these until we found them either sad thing is i cant use them on this motor because they dont clear the rocker arms! oh well they will still have some cool cal customs on it.

 

Are you going to make it to the "Meltdown Drags"?

 

It was totaly awsome that you got to take the dodge to the meltdown and make some p***es. Hopefully next time we line up I wond bust my car. LOL
Im on the lookout for a picture of us paired up at the line.

 

I don't have any pictures to post up, but by some miracle, Andy got the Dodge together and made 2 p***es in it at the Meltdown.

 

i have some video ill try to post but i think it was my second race not sure ill look

 

i told you it was going to happen ryan it was just pullin all nighters for a week

 

What happened with this build? Is he on leave? Here are a couple pics from the Meltdown 2012...

 

Bump... Here is A pic of my '65 HEMI Valiant with new boots on the rear for the Meltdown Drags next year... Ryan has your buddy made any progress on the 'ole Dodge? I just love that old car...wish I could of bought it, wrong time for me...

 

The car is for sale I'm stationed in Florida with no way to get it here and the closest drag strip is 4 hours away and no truck or trailer to tow it. It's still in Illinois in byron at my parents waiting for someone to enjoy it. I'd like to sell it or trade for a street car down here. See my threads if interested.
