Projects Dodge This - 1939 Dodge Southeast Gasser Build

Sucks to hear that!

 

Well that's a piss fucker
I hope they catch them shit heads.

 

Damn I hate thieves I hope they catch 'em and string 'em up by their gonads.

 

That sucks man I wish I didn't know how you feel my machinist got robbed as well and I lost two 392 cranks and a set of mondello ported heads they caught the bastards breaking into another shop but all the stuff they took from my machinist and several other shops went to the scrap yard these damn theives were scrapping what they were stealing for drug money even though they are currently staying at the graybar hotel it doesn't make up for the loss anyhow I too hope they are caught and rot in hell for what they done But on another note can't wait to see your car run in Byron I'm leaving tomorrow after work look me up I'll be running my rusty Willys pickup

 

That's a helluva note, those thieves are prolly too stupid to know what they've got, and the stuff will end up melted down and poured into molds for some shit made in China.
I live in constant dread of the same thing in my shop, as some of you know and others don't it's deep "inna hood" away from my home.
But regardless of where it is, all you can do is get the best alarm system you can find, and make friends with your shop's neighbors.

 

bastards...........theiveing......bastards

 

Be safe Tony and have good luck at the Meltdown.
GIVE EM HELL

 

I hope they catch the bastards and cut their fuckin hands off see how they like wiping their asses then!

 

That sucks soooo bad. If u need a cam quickly crane is doing roller hemi cams again. That's where Lamar got one for my 354. I got it about 2years ago. Recently hot heads started offering them too although it looks awfully similar to the crane.

Hopefully this bastards will break into the wrong shop one day soon and be somebody's chew toy, or catch some hot lead!!

 

Well Dammit! The HAMB keeps on dropping out notification to me on this thread. WTF?????????

 

what about an update on the meltdown from your perspective.

 

Brand Apart - thanks for the info - right now Johnny says he will get Comp to do a repeat of the stolen one. They did him a special deal on a fuel cam that was sized down. They were out of 'street' size blanks.

Enloe - we ran in the gate, knocked over 2 kids and stepped on a dog to get to the Meltdown Tent and I scored you the last copy of the 2014 Meltdown DVD Ohio George had it in his hand, I yelled - "Look is that Isky ?! The Cam Father??!!" He turned to look and I grabbed the DVD and slapped down the $$ and ran like hell!"

The trip was great - like Drag Racing Disney Land! Started out in the Sedan Delivery 5 am Wednesday. Went to get Tim 2 hours away. When I got there it was hot already. We decided to drive his truck instead.



Got a flat in Effignham Ill. Town was calling F--ingham ?? What's that all about?



Got to the track right at dark and we talked our way into the camping area


Right after we got the colors flying, a General from the War Of Northern Aggression showed up.


It rained so we went to check the traction on the starting line. Not good enough to reach 88 miles an hour, so we went bar hopping.



The bar tender gave Big A a mason jar.



So we snuck an SFCC cuzzie into their stack that they sell to customers.



In the morning we had a hearty batch of Canadian Bacon



Then the pics stopped for me - no taking my phone down the track - my floor still has holes

So this was Saturday night - PIG ROAST !! Didn't even need a fire it was so hot


Then we vintaged up the staging lanes as best as we could.



After the last night pass on Saturday night - it got blurry. Two Sock Fuckers tried to ask me out on a date.



Josh realizes he messed up the tent size and mattress size. He is a mechanical engineer .... so ..... there's that.



Then up and out of the track at 5:30am Sunday. It was a good idea to go in the daily driver.

 

thanks, pm me your address and I will send you some money

 

Here are the only Gopros I have - Tim and Gaberal had a drivers meeting in the air conditioned motor home. It consisted of - Stop pedaling that thing! Hammer down ! What the hell you aren't driving to the store. Etc etc etc.

If that wasn't enough - Amber saw a guy with a shirt that said "Keep That Bitch On The Floor!" She said - "Read it. Learn it. Live it. Don't make me drive your car"

 

Huge thanks to Ted for herding cats and backing up the horses. And the backup girls were a HUGE help and didn't have to do that. It was hot and they do it to make the show extra cool. It works!

 

Last pic - how do you know when you are back in Georgia ? Hell yeah!



3dnsouth - you are the man! Always there with a gas bottle for the injectors and a tire pressure gauge. I owe ya brother! Its a good feeling knowing you got my back.

 

I never saw the Southern Flyer in this video, where was he at lol?

 

Asleep at the tree maybe? I saw our night run time slip - you tried to get me on the tree - you cut a .053 to my .260 that's impressive. We need another drivers meeting

 

It was great to get a chance to meet up with you.
I should have got out more later but i was trying to do my best on taking out the weak brain cells every night.

 

Looks like yall had a helluva time!

 

Tony it was great meeting you and your car is top notch hope to see you again soon

 

Dam Tony that looks fun as all hell! I love that dam car!

 

Wish ya coulda come DOM..we had a blast

 

Salty - it was good to put a face with the HMAB name! We could sit and talk for hours I'm sure - too much stuff going at Drag Race Disneyland. Hope to see you next year too!

Yes sir it was good talking and hanging out for a bit. We all need to go on a cruise so we can hang out more. Maybe an aircraft carrier with a drag strip on the deck .... I think I'm onto something

 

Dry hop! Car sounds great winding up on the big end!
Hated I did not get to make it! The 9 to 5 decided I did not need to take a vacation last week and stuck me on a plane to work and dodge bullets in Baltimore. Sure would of like to have drank some beers with the Sfcc clan instead!!

 

Yeah we missed you Shawn - had an empty seat too I tried to get Laydrag to sit in it - but he was too pussy whipped.

 

You guys put on a great show. Loved listening to the fat lady trying to hit high-c... 392s aren't supposed to spin like that don't you know ?

For an event that's pretty much exhibition - everyone seems to want to run really hard. I'm no exception. Watching the Q&D was a lot of fun.. Glad you guys made it down.

 

Great long weekend of racin' n' BSn'!! Super write-up Tony, sure 'bout sums it up! Thanks for the cool down/drivers meeting in the hauler Gabe, much appreciated, fun hangin' with you fellas. That Ethan, he's a talker! Gettin' better with every event Tony. Review the notes and keep 'er goin'. Hats off to the Meltdown crew and the track crew, superb job! Worth every mile.
