    Awesome Jeff! That is going to be beautiful!

    Fundraising note: I bet you could sell t shirts with that full color pic on the back and the mascot in the shell on the front center (small).

    I would be your first customer in size Large (white shirt please:D)

    Killer, as usual, Jeff! From my experience, I'd suggest the Hilborn (2 or 4 port) on alky - makes life so simple and works great. Can't wait to see this one come together. Maybe we'll get to run each other some day...

    Nothing like developing a clear vision of what you want. No doubt you will follow through to completion in fine style. Looking good.

    Scotty.....We(Neil and I) have discussed this at length.... but were kinda cooled back at the thought of "White Death".... have you heard of this with alky Drag engines?.........
    Alky is sure a lot cheeper that drag Fuel....

    still a possibilty....But this is unfamiliar territory....

    SO why the radiator.. you considering to run it on the street? if so, then go Hilborn with modern FI adapted to early 2 port hilborn (top make it more friendly} if drags only, wont the alcohol be enough to keep it cool during the return road drive?? (though alcohol made the engine run cooler)..

    Love the concept and your work is outstanding... I keep thinking about the hairy space alien from bugs bunny cartoons as your mascot...

    I don't think running no rad would be good...staging lanes..return road.... then you need a crew...and if your alone.....starts to get to be no fun....
    and alky is just a thought right now.....I don't know enough about running it.

    Gossimer...yea...with the tennis shoes.. ha ha ha ..... he was rad.


    No.. this will never see the street.... race only.

    Ooops..... Jeff what would you say if I already ordered the 4 port Hilborn FI set up for alcohol?

    Don't worry about the 'white death' issue, you are not that old... He He He....

    Did you say you are running an IRON hemi with IRON heads? IRON was for racing.....

    Jeff, I knew it, I knew it! Your as nutty as I am! That car is beautiful. :cool:Your artwork also! Alky would be easy to run. We had a dragster on alky injected, you could start it, run it and drive it back to the trailer. THEN lay your hand on the heads! Just takes about twice as much fuel. No radiator, no water leaks, no pump. My vote is for alky. :D I love that color. Lippy

    Thats amazing. I cant wait to see progress. Looks like I'm going to break out the paint and glue, and put this one together, 1/24 Scale! Now I'm excited!
     
  27. Love your plan Jeff! I wish I could get pictures out of my head and onto paper like you can. My head is full of this shit! Looking forward to following this project.

    damnit jeff,
    when we talked about this awhile back i knew it would be bitchen' but holly shit that's one of the best looking drag roadsters i've ever seen. even if it's just in the planning stages i know you can pull it off. still think the bigest key is keeping that cage low and it looks like you've got it figured out. i want a ride, but i'll settle for a shirt when you make them up.

    going to the gnrs?
