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

Cool Coupe. If you can get that bad boy to 60' in thw 1.4's you'll be well in the 10's. how about some 4.56 gears and a 5000 stall converter? That should do it.

 

WOW invasion of coolness ...right now is the peek of hot rodding my opinion. hats off to usmc, poop farmer, all the rest.

 

Thanks,I'm more worried about it hooking than anything plus I've had 4.11's and a spool in it with a 3500 converter in the past and that is no fun taching 3500-4000 trying to keep up with STL highway traffic.So I pulled the gears and stall after munching clutches in three th350's due to heat problems and all finally got sorted out so back to my 3500 stall for now till it doesnt launch hard enough! I just want a reliable, fast, streetable car to drive to the track run the number and drive home.But don't we all!

 

I know how that goes, loose converters and steep gears don't go well with highway cruising.

 

I currently have two racing projects going on...but not a "DRAG" car only.

I wanna build a CrAzY drag car before summer... so I will be looking for a skin of a car or something to modify.

If anyone has something really cool, let me know. Its going to be in late fifties style I think. But I'll entertain all body styles... Pm me if you got something you wanna part with.

 

Well it isnt old but it was fast. Here is my 86 S-10 Blazer. Went 9.89 140 mph last pass it made.

There has to be more HOTROD's going to the drag strip, right ?????


Show 'em boys !

 

Tease ! A friend has something up his sleave !

 

Justin ran his last week and in his first attempt got it down to a 11.96 @ 111 mph.

we are discussing going to Speedworld Saturday night if any of the phoenix guys are interested.

You don't need the bars going out of the back of the cab, this is the way Suncoast racecars build their truck cages. These pics arent the best but it should give you an idea for roll bar, or cage

 

Wow man, this car f*(ing rules!! The stance in right on, and the chop will be killer. What kind of mill?

 

will try post photos ...look in my personal profile page alblums ....
racing&driving since 65<<<has gotten faster so am added to original rollbar...all INSIDE body home built

 

Awesome rides The 5 window abone and the falcon rocks
Two of my favorite cars

 

Hey Glen - fun thread. I can't post pix, but you know my car (Morris Minor). Best so far of 10.32/127mph. Did 140 at B-ville in '07. Built killer 377" and went back to strip: ran 11's!!! Everything was right on, except still had old (3500) converter. Now it has an 8" 5800 stall unit - can't wait for summer! Meanwhile, I'm cruisin' town with no problems...
Every year I plan for HAMB Drags and every year something stops me (from bringing my car). Maybe '09 will be the year I finally get to mix it up with you guys...

the falcon is just a vistor getting welding done&gages will be visiting more

 

Bumping this back up.....some of you guys have to have some progress updates? how about some cars being built for the HAMB drags in August?

I keep cleaning up some loose ends. I have my windows cut and ready to bolt in.
I also need to raise the back of the car up a little, it has settled more than I planned.



Lettered this week for our next trip to the track.

 

Brown Sugar.....Cool!

 

the coupe was choped 4'' this week,for the mill, its a 347 stroker A-4 block ported victor jr heads and a 4-71 bds super charger w/six 97 strombergs on top. I'll post some pics soon.

 

I sold my willys and shipped it to havasu city arizona , now im puttin a new killer 377 in my 63 nova gasser for the coming season, lookin for low tens with it. runs 12.20 now with a decent 327 and glide... see ya at the thaw with it i hope

 

brown sugar has a hella stance that sedan is bad ass. nice work glen

 

Brown Sugar.....why you look so good ? Damn that turned out nice, everything goes together and looks bad as hell.

 

bttp

 

planning to push this short wheel base to its limits

 

How was it building the 409, I was seriously thinking of using a W motor in my A , but the price vs. performance seemed really expensive? What do you think?

 

sweet!!!

 

Glenn

That thing is coming out sweet. Glad to see you have the knowledge to put the correct class designation on it, A/A. Makes me laugh every time I see a cool ass car with no hood or fenders and they paint A/G on it. Are you planning on ditching those modern sheetmetal valve covers or do you need them to clear the stud girdle? I might be able to hook you up with a pair of valve cover spacers and M/T covers. I painted my aluminum heads on my gasser black to match the engine block to hide their modern look. Just a few ideas. Either was it's one wild ride.

 

Thanks for the kind words.

I can't take credit for the lettering, I actually contacted C9 and he was kind enough to look up the closest class description for me.

Send me a pic of the valve covers. Soemone needs to make a nice HAMB approved valve cover because I dont know of anything spectacular. The Brodix heads are still flashy too.

 

that one gets better every time I see it too

 

new paint / pipes / glass / top....got a new motor on the stand. probably ought to run 15.00's now went 12.90's last year at the end , with a REAL stock and slightly worn 350....time will tell , probably around march or april.....

 

I got a start on Psycoholic, but I can't get the damn computer to load any photographs from my camera.
