  2. jim it can haul all of the little cars you have. when i was specing it out i made sure i could haul the drag week trailer or my three wheeler. i bought a bunch of pit pal products like three aluminum tables with the storage mount a funnel holder some wheel chocks for the tool box 6 fuel jug rack etc. the trailer is so messy because I'm installing all of this. in my spare time i ran to kohl's for pillows sheets towels etc. its taking some time to get moved in. stop by monday I'm off. i will be around after noon.

    I might just stop. I have the Cyclone on the trailer ready to go to the strippers in the morning, it will come back totally naked.
    Then the fun begins!

  13. Like everything else the trailer got out of hand. I have owned several trailers over the years. Some i over bought some under. This one was custom built the way i wanted. Going to the pri show allowed me to shop and compare. The trailers have come a long way in the last year as far as options. They can really be built to the customers needs.

  16. the thrash is on to make bowling green. I picked up the chassis last night. it was the first time hauling something in the trailer. it towed perfect. everything trailer related is complete. the generator, air compressor, awning ,tool box ,bed, tools, spare parts etc are in. now its time to take a bare chassis and turn it into a running racing car over the weekend. I see some 18 hr. days ahead. I think I can make it.

  20. we have room for everyone. its supposed to be 90 degrees with high humidity this weekend. I might sleep during the mid day and work at night. either way it will be a busy 48 hrs. it all has to get done in that time frame because I work 12 hr shifts Monday and Tuesday. I plan on heading out Tuesday night so I can get to bowling green Wednesday morning to park.

    How about anti-theft on the trailer? Seems like those big white toy boxes are hot-targets.
    That's a hellava nice rig!

  25. there is a new anti theft system for a grand thats out now. it has gps built into it. when the alarm is set if the trailer moves the system locks the brakes. it also alerts you and the police giving its updated location. they won't get far. we travel with a big german shepard and a sig sauer 45. at home add a few more shepards and guns so there are several layers of protection to keep it safe.

  26. My friend mark janeckey came over tonight to help after i got off work. We have been working on race cars together since high school. He has been a crew member for me for years and does drag week. Mark is also a mopar super stock fan. He owns a hemi powered 68 cuda. For a while he worked at ray bartons. Yes that ray bartons that builds the record setting AA super stocks. He is certainly qualified to put hemi heads together so i put him to work. I set him up in the shop to assemble the heads. This will save me alot of time. I was putting the steering back on and hooking up various things while mark did his thing. The short block is in along with the bruno and lenco. I have been up for 20 hours now so its bed time. I will get up early and hit it hard. I think with two twenty hour days i 20170609_224008.jpg 20170609_224047.jpg should have it all buttoned up.

  30. 20170610_125451.jpg The intake is torqued into place now. I packed it with rags and started to sand it. Its very important to have a flat deck the first pic shows the low spots. They are dull. The second pic shows its flat. View attachment 3557321 20170610_133900.jpg
