Projects Dodge This - 1939 Dodge Southeast Gasser Build

More like a reverse sponsor - he's making a killing on guys hunting trophies

477" BBC I think. That's the old Pale Rider car it was a BBC so I assume the motor mounts are set up that way still. It's 477" because that's close to my cubic inch - I can't get the weight out of my car. Almost 200 pounds heavy still. He did get the weight out.

 

Thanks! Very interesting. At 129 mph in the 1/8th, hes definitely making some pretty big power! Love your car btw!

 

I know this has been beat to death, so I aplogize in advance for posting another photo of "the incident at Shadyside" but I was reviewing some old photos I took of the Quick & Dirty Dodge and found an inside the car view of Tony's unfortunate clutch explosion. Thought some of you might like to see what the business end of such an explosion looks like. Tony is extremely lucky...carry on.

 

Yeah the disc on the dash photo is making the rounds again. All the same stupid experts too,
1. The pressure plate exploded.
2. A chunk of the pressure plate stayed attached to the hat.
3. The chunk spun around inside the bell housing at 8000RPM
4. The chunk beat the starter pocket that most Quick Times have
5. After enough hits, the dowel pin for the block came out
6. Then the shit hit the fan.
There weren't any rubber bolts used - contrary to the interwebs story.

I highly recommend a Lakewood housing. Saving 20lbs on a welded bell housing is not the way to go.

 

Caleb posted pics last night. Here’s a few

 

Good shots thanks for taking the time to post them

 

From bangshift coverage

 

My son and I will be wearing our Q&D shirts at Carlisle this weekend. Continue to spread the SEGA word, just got into town tonight and seeing cars cruising so hope turn out is good

 

Yeah man thanks for the pics! I'm going to try a 5.43 rear gear in that thing - it doesn't pull wheelies like it used to. Its got a 4.86 right now.

Good on you guys for getting out! Have fun and thanks for representing!

 

Have you tried the 5.43 gear yet? Sorta seems like I've lost touch with you somehow as far as HAMB goes.

 

I got a 5.43 for yo' old ass!

 

Hold on chuckie poo- this might be a reason it’s not pulling wheelies

 

That race at Moorseville we were running the engine in the pits for long periods looking for an issue. I didn't hear anything clacking then but it was pretty noisy making passes and it was 1/2 second slow. So I found a broken adjuster at home. We'll try again in Alabama. Still might swap to the 5.43 just for you Chuckie Poo.

 

Just wondering if this will work. 550 photos is too many to paste in here

That's gonna be a awsome build..

 

Photo set works for me on a PC. Thanks for the link

 

Quite an assortment of cars. Thanks to all the builders and racers.Lots of credit goes to the organizer.

 

Here is part 2 - same race - looks like it was split apart.

 

Thx Tony for posting this.

 

We didn’t make it to Ohio - building a new shop so it wasn’t happening. However Gabe got the A/G win! Long time coming congrats.

 

We love shop photos Tony!

 

not a shop yet but
Going right there

 

Here’s the Alabama race

 

Thx Tony, guess SEGA has gotten to have such a big field of cars that they've had to go to a 2 part video now! Wonder when the last half comes up?

 

Good gawd, almost enough room to have your own drag race.
One foot after the other and before you know it.................

 

Now that Denny mentions it, what is the shop footprint gonna be?

 

Georgia or North Carolina? Anyway it looks like all the hard work is done.lol. Snowman
