New KING CHASSIS dragster build

I like it.

 

Bad ass! Where can i get a scoop like that?

 

Thanks to Shawn Dill for hooking me up with the most iconic fueler parts ever to grace a early Hemi. Polished 5 fin Donovan valve covers. Simply timeless.

 

Just found this thread...

OMG... is this thing RAD!

 

Leslie630, you just joined 2 days ago, maybe you should do an introduction before you try posting pics on my fucking thread!

 

Thanks Tuck! It's taking a bit longer than anticipated but not going to rush it now.

 

Todd next time you talk to Shawn tell him Tim Jones says hi, We worked on a few fuel cars together and have known each other quite awhile,,,, Tim Jones

 

Here is the pic of Todds new covers. Simply beautiful!

 

Well its sideways. And thats just fine so are we !!!

 

I'll be sure to tell him Tim. Thanks Brian.

Thanks man! Its been a long process and i'm only halfway done, as the money comes along i'll keep picking away at it. Thanks for your kind words.

 

Very cool sideways, upside down, right side up, left ways, right way, all ways.....

 

And I'll post pictures where ever I please!

 

Great chassis work...everything where it belongs.

Please enlighten me: What's a 'reverser'? (I know it's to 'back up', but how and where does it fit???)

Superb thread. Hi, Carl!

 

Great build!

 

I bet if I look hard enough, I have pics of Shawn when he still had a full head of hair and mine wasn't grey, Tim Jones

 

Mike, Todd's car is direct drive (no transmission).The reverser bolts direct to the clutch can.

 

Me to. This is why I am on this board when I cant sleep. Finding a thread like this makes me happy! That car is going to stop folks dead in their tracks!

 

There, fixed it.

 

Thanks Swimeasy!

 

Looking Good !

 

"Matt the kid" bought my Magnesium Americans and Radir hard walls and I used the money to up grade to these. WOW what a difference.

 

Car is just beautiful. Keep up the good work!

 

Any more updates for us Brother?
This car is absolutely beautiful,and an inspiration to many of us who have always wanted to build an authentic FED.
Beautiful job Man.Nice work!

I do have some updates. Bought new front wheel and tire's. I had to machine the bearing to fit the spindles. I also got the rearend together, added some more tubes to the chassis, got the coupler fit, made a fuel pedal, and some other little BS. I'll try to keep up with better with the updates. I also scored some titanium valved ported,O-ringed heads, and a billet stroker crank, and billet main caps.

 

Man,you do some very nice work.I really like how you carried that gorgeous wood grain over from the wheel,to the brake handle,to the throttle....the details on that car are really impressive.
I bet it's gonna make a ton of power with those heads too...

I can see a main cap girdle in your future.

 

That wood is slick!

 

I've got billet steel splayed caps and a crank support.
