Hot Rods Trouble Maker AA/FA

I had been building a NE1 Altered, some things changed and the NE1 car went away and we decided to make the switch from running a Ford in our AA/FA to running a Late Model Hemi.

Our AA/FA is built in the traditional style with a short wheelbase, drop axle and roadster body. The BAE hemi may not be as traditional, but Big Show hand me down parts are a great way to go. We'll have the car at the March Meet and we're looking forward to running this year at West Coast tracks.

looks like some good go power - post pics of rest of your altered

 

Drive it with one hand. That's traditional.

 

Nice!!!!!

 

Thanks guys..

 

bae builds great parts. I have used a lot of their stuff. it may be non traditional but its a lot safer.

 

The BAE stuff is a joy to work on.

 

Nasty!

 

I hope so, it should really thunder.

 

Looks like we made the news....

We're still waiting for UPS to show up with the rest of the fuel system. The 35 gpm Waterman pump arrived on Friday. We should have out AFT clutch and drive live in this weekend.

More clutch work last night...

 

You have an awesome build going, my favorite class. I'll see you at the March Meet!

Mike

 

Thank you, I followed your build too.. That's a great looking and running car..

 

Good oil pressure, and no fuel leaks.

 

Getting there

 

Getting closer

 

Is there a transmission in it? The motor looks far ahead of what I'd expect, it might be photo angle, but looks like an alcohol car set up. Badassed for sure.

 

There isn't a transmission. It's direct drive with a clutch cannon, like the Big Show cars. The motor is out 68 inches. The BAE is straight from a Big Show Funny Car. All of the motor parts were run on either a NHRA Top Fuel car or Funny Car.

Well the car ran on a big load Nitro for the first time. She's all loaded up and ready for the March Meet.

 

"Nitro" Jim will be heading North on the 5 then 99 this morning with the truck and trailer. Getting to the 2016 March Meet is a big deal for us. We didn't really think we could get it done. Although we have some refining to do on the car after the race we're really happy to get to be a part of the event.
We'd like to thank the following people that have made this possible;

Mr. Jay Johnson, RJ Trotter, Chuck and Del Worsham, The Debo Family, George Doty, Jeff Gaynor, CBC Truck Repair, Ray Gandy, DJ Safety, Akerly & Childs, and Mr. Weber

Thanks to Steve Be Cotte for jumping on board and becoming a member of the team. Jason, thanks for sticking with us.

I'd like to thank my wife, Giselle and my daughters Sofia and Ella for putting up with the crazy-ness, late nights, trips to pick up parts, dirty hands, and everything else that goes along with racing. I hope I can make you proud.

Fuel Altereds Forever....

 

Looks like one bad ass ride.
My wife's name is Ella. You don't hear that name very often.

 

good luck guys be safe.

 

Damn!! I want one!

 

What a great first weekend out... We ran a 6.57 on Friday good enough for #6. We got bumped out on Saturday and put back in on Sunday as an alternate. We beat Pure Hell with a 6.08, but hurt some parts so our day was done. What an honor to race Pure Hell.
