Event Coverage Welcome to the 2017 Meltdown Drags

Hell I am just 462...to be honest on paper that is just like adding a little 2.5 litter 4 banger to your 306...right?

 

Right now as it sits it's nothing more that a paper weight on the stand getting in the way. To be honest....... maybe I typed it wrong it could be a 603..... or a 30.06.

I got nothin

 

Doubt it....

 

yeah you lost me with your story problem. I'm not so good at math and shit

 

I gave it all away

 

Yup Salty, its like the line in my favorite songs ( Copper Head Road ) sitting on that sack of seeds.

Except your sitting on that Dumpster. + Jugs & bottles. lol

 

Norb that was in the song Wild Wood Flower.....
And my dumpster is in lock down tell future notice.

 

Opps its been awhile

Had to hear it again, makes me want a Black Dodge R/T ( don't tell Bob or A.J. )

OH....I take that back the torque FLIGHT would never hold up.

 

I picked up some headers for my Chevelle at the swap meet.....Thinking I need to drive it and race it next year.

 

B.B. Headers?

 

Yes sir.

 

Nice, that will be a fun ride.

 

I have two extra doors so I need all the help I can get.... but I will take a shot at you.

 

Ok

I think I know what Big Block your putting in, and I think

I am in trouble again.

I gotta find some slower guys to race.

Scott has been easy the last two years,but some day it might be running.

 

You will be fine Norb its just a street car.

 

SLEEPER

Gonna be harder to blow all 4 doors off.

 

I am sure many of you who have been to the Meltdown have met David Z. David is Paul's son and has been helping/working the Meltdown since he was 9 years old. He is 16 years old now and got his first car.

It is pretty rough...but how cool is it that his first car is a 1962 Bel Air.

 

Now that's what I'am talking about.

 

Not bad for a first car.

 

It is a 6 cylinder and needs everything you would expect (quarters, front fenders, body braces, some frame work, etc.) but it is a very cool first car. It had been sitting in a building since 1988

 

Great start David,...I've enjoyed talkin with David at every Meltdown,...mostly about bicycles,...we rode our bikes down the 1/4 mile one year and saw a couple of deer on the far end, cool,..now we can talk about his Bel Air!

 

That's way better than my first car....a 65 VW with a dropped valve in #3.

 

Needs a 409 though right

 

Looks like a really good 62. Is it a 3 speed or a Power Glide?

 

I'm planning on Havana, also. Running at Great Lakes, would be a good time, but Havana is more familiar. My older brother and one of my nephews ran there for several years. The attached photos are of my brother running his 57 at Havana. The first two are from about 1971, and the second two are from about 1989, or so. It's the same car that he's run at The Meltdown.

 

Here they are they were TOO BIG to post normally

 

Thanks for resizing them. I'm not too good at computer stuff.

 

Made some more progress on car today with the temps in the mid 60's! Made up a bracket for fuel Regulator & lines all plumbed. Put the bell & trans back in her. Got to get things measured up for new stronger driveshaft. Still need a lil more grinding on the intake for Distributor clearance. Hope to get after it again in the morning...
