Event Coverage Official 2016 Meltdown Drags Thread - What are you doing to get ready?

I'm trying to get the damn thing to cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Soooooooo hurtful Ric.

 

Sunday's Chili towing in Yesterday's Chili - you could have a cook off

 

Here are a couple older Pics, the car is much closer to completion.

 

Love it man....LOVE IT!

 

Very Cool

Reminds me of the Orange Crate.

Think it will be done before Scott ?

 

Awesome, just plain awesome

 

Most likely.lol

Scott

 

Lucks8ba that is one sweet looking ride.

 

Makes me want to just leave my heaps at home.

 

Awesome rail luckys8ba
Dragsters with metal bodies are as cool as it gets.
Hope to see it at the Meltdown.

 

Have a question for Gasser history guys?
We're oil coolers ever run on Gassers? If they weren't I was trying to think best way to try to hide it.
Jimbo...

 

Done try to hide it just make it work if needed no one going to bust your balls for that.

 

Mounted mine between radiator and grill, getting the 1st hit of cool 90 degree Byron meltdown air. lol

 

Fore sure the coolant to oil is way better and maybe easier to hide.

 

NORB, ITS "BALL GRAVEY HOT" BYRON MELTDOWN AIR.... LMFAO... I believe it's part of the Meltdown lexicon now...
Jimbo...

 

Well now you are sounding like some panize ass

 

Salty
You are accustomed to the heat, come on up north, think I can still find a snow bank on the north end of the woods that you can melt and warm it up around here.

 

Along with that rip roaring thunderstorm that usually happens a day or two before, so that the track gets flooded and the track workers have to bust their butt to get the track ready? I remember coming in last year on Thursday and it was raining so hard you couldn't see!

 

THIS is Yesterdays "Go Wagon". Now, this dog ain't got no name, so if I turn it loose, I can't call it back. Ok, this gave me a new idea for Meltdown 2017.., "Tow Car Eliminator" This one will have a fresh 600hp Buick by then.

 

All nestled in at the new digs awaiting the transplant.

 

I ❤️ NC.

 

Doug Patch, the top secret "wife don't know about my other car projects safe house", is just about ready. Scott, when your wife finds out your engine bill, I got room for you too.

 

View attachment 3178714 Got my own 330' track out back too, so we can work on your "hook issues" Dog Scratch.

 

Nice looking spread you got there Ric.

 

agreed, very nice.

 

Wrenchbender has one of those facilities also....I currently have the "Soon-to-be-A/FX car" stored there...lol

And quit rubbing salt in the wound about the motor....lol

It will get done eventually

Scott

 

Thanks guys, its a dream come true, and why I've been quiet lately. Lots of work, but I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel now. PS. Now we're only about 10 hours from Bryon, instead of 10 days!

 

Nice place ric my tool shed is nothing like that however I do have a nice flat 1/4 mile test track right in front of my house lol so test and tune is no problem

 

Hahahah welcome to the REAL world. Life outside of SoCal hope you said your good byes because now you will never go back

Is that Dart still for sale? Now that you towed it all the way out here ......
