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

I cant take all the credit on the tinwork, I was more of a helper in that process.

We still need to make a set of panels for the quarters that match the doors.

 

Here's mine. Kinda before and after. The model is what I'm planning. Just started a few weeks ago. The lump is a 354.

 

Very cool keep us posted.

 

BTT !! Lets keep this one going!

 

Awesome!! Keep 'em coming!

 

mocked up..... coming apart for a new chassis,floor,roll bar,major sheetmetal/bodywork

 

Looks good, too bad you might not have a racetrack to run it at if your council shuts down Race City!

 

I'm working on a "New Lump" as well as a cage... should be a little bit faster than my current time and mph.

Just finished this 30A 5 window for a good friend. He's running an old 392 in it and plans to race it at the track and drive it on the street. I have driven it on the street and I can tell you it is a real handfull keeping it going straight but I loved it

 

EXK,
Have some more info and pictures on that knarley coupe?

 

Ya it will suck! I havn't ran at Calgary in two years,last time I was there I destroyed a trans because the bump at half track unloaded my tires and sent me for a ride almost into the wall.I hope they keep it going and get some funds to fix the track surface.

 

we got to keep this thread goin

 

Wow, this thing is bad ass!! Mechanical or electronic fuel injection?

OK, who's bringing some of this stuff to the Hunnert Car Heads Up in May???????

 

This was last night. It was 102 yesterday so I didnt think i could improve on my Mokan 10.24 ET. I tried a couple of different shock settings and shift points and for the first time I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted so I could check it on video the next day.

On this last pass of the night the waterbox was dry when I pulled up and nobody was there to help so i just cleaned them off and let her rip. This is what I got out of it. I Still ran several 1.3x 60 ft. times and 10.2x's. i tried footbraking it but it increased my 60 ft. time.

Bad Ass! I'm glad you lifted Glen!

 

I think its one of those Gartlits fakes with a single carb inside?

 

Thanks, It doesnt look that bad, but if you look at the steering wheel its cranked hard to the left and the car is still bobbin' and weavin' and it probably would have got worse.

 

I've been there! Just when you think you have it straight your in the other lane rubbing off the wall!

 

Whoa!!

 

my `40 chevy coupe...

is mostly for the 1/4 mile.........
but will see action at the local cruise nights....

It will be a while before I am ready to think about a cage, but now I have something to sit in and make engine noises.

 

Very Nice!!!!!

 

Body aquired, gotta clear out the garage before winter sets in and then have at it. It's a more door so my kids can get in the back. They really like acceleration...

 

built it 1st time 65-67 now rebuilding it with the son

 

Finished this in July,got the motor broke in pretty good as soon as the slicks get here were down the track.

 

I have just started racing this one
The pics are from last wednesday, no race becouse it started rainning
One chans left this wednesday before they close the track for the winter

 

Hope you get a chance to run it.

That's the biggest problem for us folks living in the Arctic Circle... "Very Short Summers"!!!

 

Thanks for the ride Glen... I took multiple passes with you... at my desk
