Projects Dragster Project - Running and about ready for 2012

I finally got the trans oil leak completely sorted out. Along with the loose converter, I had leaks at a couple of the pump bolts which also hold the JW Ultrabell on. Some silicone and they're fine now. Since I had to pull the engine a second time to seal the bolts I put a new front seal on just for. Here's a bit of video of the first fireup. Smokes a bit because of the oil in the chamber after pulling and checking the plugs.

She needs a major cleanup and I'd like to make a better lower body panel but she's ready to run.

NICE! I was going to call 2 hours ago but figured it was too late! So, you are sleeping in the shop with the digger!?!?!

And the kid firing it! I was 4 years old sitting in an Offy powered Midget doing the same thing, God Bless you man!

 

Nice Kerry!

 

That's bitchin

 

Thats cool!!!!

 

That's awesome, Kerry!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys.

We got it down the track at the HAMB drags last year a few times. Working out the bugs with the car... and me, I never got a solid pass. Traction was a real issue so instead of last years pie crusts I have some 9 inch MT slicks. Starting narrow so I don't need wheelie bars.

 

couldnt be better, you, your son, and your digger........lucky man

 

good things couldn't happen to a better guy; i'm happy for ya, kerry.

perhaps a grudge race at mokan? if you give me a thousand feet headstart?

 

Sounds awesome Kerry, can't wait to see it.

 

what a luckey kid in that seat! That would still blow my mind at 63!

 

You are right, those old piecrusts don't bite worth a damn. I found that out the hard way at our Billetproof drags.

Don
