This is going to be a slow build thread that I will add pics to as we go. Feel free to comment as you like. These will be run in August 2012 so it’s going to be slow progress. They are for our local fair event and the rules are pretty much just chain and run type stuff so allot of the things we would like to do are not allowed. We mainly do this for the fun and to put cars together for best of show. Enjoy, Mike.
Battery box.
440 for car #2
Well thats were we are at this point more to come.... Got a little work done on the engine this weekend.
New distributor and high volume water pump.
Got my switch plate all together.
Here is a pic of the wiring everything is soldered together.
Got our seats back from the upholstery shop.
Yep Derby cars. Thx.
Well engine #2 is just about finished. Should be a good couple cars. Allot of help from sponsors.
Thanks for the comments!! Made some small progress this weekend, I finished stripping out the car and got it degreased so we can start getting stuff mounted and fabricated. Not really post worthy pics but who doesn’t like pictures. Here we are plasma cutting out all the dash support steel.
All clean ready for a dash bar.
I use 99 cent store oven cleaner to degrease the engine compartment it really works good.
Just a couple random pics.
Thanks for looking! Mike. New Valve covers installed.
Got some work done this weekend, rear bar got mounted. The cross tube is 3"x4" 1/4" wall, the down tubes are 2"x6" 3/8" wall and they will be tied into the top of the frame. The drivers side down tube is fully welded and the pass side is bolted in with two 1/2" GRADE 8 bolts, this will make it easier to remove later.
