Hot Rods Who's building a Hot Rod to go drag racing? Let's see the pics!!!

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]
Here is my 38 IHC project race/street. 6-71 blown efi 468, ported dart heads comp hyd roller,transbrake t400,35 spline 9 inch spool. I hope to run in the low 5's in the 1/8. 1.625x.134 mild steel double frame rail chassis kinda modeled after a friends pro mod frame.

 

Dude, I love your car, and the concept. But, that roll cage is sketch man. There is no triangulation, and I would love to see that front kicker tube be straight rather than have a bend. Your execution on everything else is great, time to redo that cage to keep up with how fast that car's gonna be.

 

Here's mine, started as a street car, but will be raced and is a work in progress.

 

Where in Swampeast Mo. might you be? I'd like to see this thing make a pass. Going to Sikeston?

 

Scott City. probly be 2011 before I try to make a spectical of myself at Sikeston Drag Strip

 

this is my IH S100 with a 750-800 hp 427 that everyone calls mater like the truck from cars... i plan on runing it on the streets more or less a scare the shit out of your buddys truck....

 

...sooo wanna vacation in mammoth and help me with my car ^_^ Man you build is inspirational. I'd like to do something similar with a spring behind, box frame, and the tires partially the body.

 

I'm still plugging away to get it out this year

 

any new builds?

 

i wish...still beating the coupe, when the rain isn't occurring saturday nights

 

SUSCRIBED, just became my ULTIMATE favorite HAMB thread, 2 thumbs up guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've caged mine, raised the front, redid the rear end, added more motor,more gear and a spool! At work at the moment will add pictures when I get home boys! BTW its the coupe in the avatar

 

I'm building a '40 Plymouth Business Coupe..Here is the Chassis build. Mustang II front end, four link read end with panard bar, sway bar, and an air suspension. 4.30 gears in a Ford 9' rear Detriot locker and Welwood discs. Stay tuned for my Street and Strip build. Full rollcage etc.

 

Well the truck got put on the back burner again to build this J, 388 sbc aluminum heads with old tr1x tunnel ram, hope to have it out this summer.

 

Alright, heres pics as promised! took the car to 23" crankshaft centerline from 19"(just for looks). Added the cage using 6"x6" 1/4" plate and setup for my 4 point harness,swapped my 3.55s for 4.11s and a mini spool and added Strange c clip elims and revised my ladder bar brackets,added the full roller harland sharp 1.8 ratio rockers and a few other things to the motor, and moved the tach up to a lil more visible place! and then the final product!

 

My bucket.

Ran best of 10.2@132 with the old street 454. (hydraulic cam & TRW blower pistons) Car weighs about 2500 lbs with me in it so its no lightweight.

Motor suffered a meltdown so got replaced with a 540 & I refitted the old 671. Have a 1071 in the shed but theres not room behind the blower for the mag, as its too close to the firewall.

Once I have driven to the track, run a 9 in street trim and driven home without breaking anything, then I will have met my goals.

 

still have a lot of the little things to do, got it apart now to change the stall from a 2500 to a 3500, hope its enough....

 

Here is my 63 Falcon, picked it up this spring, and have a few things to do to it to get it legal, but this one won't be on the street

 

nice looks like a good project, does it have a staight axel??

 

yes, a straight axle...9" ford rear....4spd. I'm going to try and keep it as period correct as I can, once I get started on it!

a better side view

 

Well maybe I fit in here!

Man im glad i saw this thread. New to the site and this is def my fav thread i've read. Im currently building the frame/suspension for my Model A coupe.

Got alot of good ideas by looking at ya'll set ups.

Great thread!!

 

Sorry, I haven't sat down long enough to learn how to post pictures.
Here's an address to my 2dr. Lark wagon.

It's been sitting like this too long but I have to finish another car first.

And as per the original request...it's currently licensed, registered and insured.
I figured I didn't want any hassle putting all the legal things back together to be able to drive it.

The only thing I havent figured out to make it "fully" street legal is the windshield wipers.
The cage/chassis is NHRA legal.

Isn't that turbo gonna turn the inside of you car into a sauna? Wiring, interior?

 

That is exactly what I was thinking! Dam it will get hot in there!

 

Here's my home built multi-year project.

 

Mines a glass 33

First frame design. X member was junk and being redone now. It was connected with the bolt in trans mount.


First motor: chevy ls 5.3, new motor is at the machine shop, chevy ls 404 stroker[fuel injection, the very non hamb way, but should be in the 520+rwhp]


The begining of the cage:
