I`ve left this for a while as although I liked the front end it just dident seem to suit the rest, So out with the grinder tonight and its now like this, just need to make a spring perch come tank mount now
Hovered the front engine in and theres enough room for the tank, just need to make it from the mockup now
Got my pipes done, drilled some flanges from plate and made a jig thing so all the pipes matched, it was real pain to get them inline but I like`em
just love the fed/modified coupe. i have a pair of those same front spindle mount rims too. are your spindles anglia? i was wondering what the bearing numbers are to mount them on an axle. they were originally made for bikes i believe. with those pipes, this thing is going to be very loud!! i love it. execellent fab work too.
Yeah, that leaf front end is pretty Boss compared to the coils Dig the twin Olds, really coming along nicely! -QQ
Thanks guys,I took the body off to start glassing all the joins so heres a couple of chassis pics, it should still look good with just the ali panels too
Due to illness in the family Ive not been able to do much on this for a while so it was nice to get a few hours on it today, decided to change some rear tubes as the seat position just wouldent go right with how it was so its now like this, the new tubes have now become the seat frame so I fit tight and I hope it still looks a bit like "then"
Very slow progress on this but still trying for Hrds, which is real good event here in the uk,got the steering arms done, mocked up the tie rods and it should work ok ,also made a start on the body,,,,,,,,,,
LOWBLAZERO1 "Whats going on in the background of the last pic?" Hey...yeah...I almost missed that. What's goin' on? Oh, and I love the dragster!
I had to go back and look at the pic awhile before I saw what you guys were talking about! Looking at the pic from the side are you going to have an issue with the cage? My SFI specs says the foward hoop must be a minimum of 20 degrees from vertical, looks like you might be close to be under that. Might be just the angle of the pic.
Your probly right Metalman, but I never intended for this to be able to tag, just want it to have the flavour of back then with a bit more safety for me and run in the 3 nos type events we have over here.
