What I'm Building for next year's Hamb Drags

And a few more races along the way.After the Hamb dragster was sold this past spring it was time to build a new race car so here it is.If you recognize the outline of the car it's because I used a Total Performance King T kit for the start. It's the same car that Street Rodder magazine is using for there build project.It's powered by a alky burning 380 in Ford windsor,glide trans and 9in rear. It's been a blast to build but nothing comes easy you guys know that.Had a lot of good help from my friend Mike Brown the best welder there is. See you guys at Mokan 2009.

 

That's *****n. Of course...a real man would DRIVE it there.....

Good luck and see you in August,

Thats a cool little 1/4 mile car. Of course it would be a lot cooler with a stroked FE in it. I loved the "T" with the FE in it last year at the HAMB Drags. You would'nt be bringing this to Goodguys Indy next year would you?? If you do I'll see you there and good luck with the build.

 

Holy ****, that is ***s!!( I mean cool!! )-MIKE

 

Too cool ! You Okies are having way to much fun, the dirtys are going to have to step up a notch .

 

I've been trying to visualize it.I wish I had known you were gonna be at Noble last weekend I coulda brought those you those pump drive parts.

 

I actually helped Ted alot on this build...my job was to stand around with beer-in-hand yelling: "Work faster, damnit!"

 

Too Cool!!!!!!

 

I can dig it!

 

Yep you did and thats why i'm skinny and your uh.........

 

Pretty cool, what are you doing to make her vintage ???

Looks like a salt car to me ....

 

I like it!

 

Hey Bubba,You are right I'm copying an old salt car.

 

Looks fun! Are you 8 feet tall?

 

Neat.

 

FE would be nice

 

I resemble that remark!...

 

Ha,I wandered who was going to catch that,no I'm not but my son is 6'2 and he wants to do some of the driving.

 

Very Nice!

 

Good stuff Mr Mac looks like its going to be a bunch of wheels up fun

Really sharp looking car. I like the profile.

Frank

 

That looks like it'll be FUN to drive!NICE work.

 

Thats cool.

 

Anice looking car TED and we know BROWN will do a first rate job BUT I find it hilarious you would choose a pg for a****** inyour hamb drags car

 

That thing DRIPS cool!

I'd ditch the rear suspension though... that paralell four bar is smooth riding, but gives you little, if any "instant center"... so, basically, the car isn't going to transfer any weight on the back tires.

What other bars are you going to add to the lower shoulder bar down to the frame?

Sam

 

Very nice! I want to build one of these so bad. Hafta agree with SamIyam. Might want to go with ladder bars or a solid mount rear.

 

You could be very right about the rear suspension Sam,but I think I'll try it first. Lots of T&T. All the bars has been added since the photos.Thanks
Mac

 

You really got me thinking about going fast , with the gas prices going down . Anybody wont to buy a cool looking caddy motor with 4 2's ?

 

Very cool car, hope to see you there going down the track.........
