No need for a bump, but since I had the photo handy.. Ben hauled for me a few years back and would use him again any time. If he's not in your...
I'm sorry I didn't quote this sooner, oh man did I get a good laugh from this!! Yes, we are all quite fond of grandma! :D Perhaps I'm...
Ironically enough the rest of the frame looks brand new! I do have access to eddy current, dye penetrant, and x-ray equipment so I can check other...
Oh man, I would greatly appreciate that. If you have one in good shape you'd be willing to part with, I have cash at the ready. This build is...
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I have one rivet that has worked loose, but the rest are nice and tight. I'll keep an eye open...
Thanks a lot! I'll check them out for sure! I would rather the rivets, but it's going on a full fendered car, so I suppose it doesn't really...
Haha, yup for sure need that shelf for the motor mount. I suppose I'd be in the market for a good old crossmember if someone has one laying around.
Alright guys, looks like I'll be hunting for a new crossmember. I know they make the "hot rod" style without the motor mount, but since the banger...
I just picked my frame up from the 'blasters today and found quite the hairy situation on the front crossmember. While I have welded a few frame...
Yep!!! What a rush!!
I'd say you have no idea the size of the smile on my face right now, but I'm betting I'd be wrong! Challenge accepted!!! :D:D:D:D
No no, I don't mind the hijack, that's AWESOME you got yours out and had a blast! Be safe, and have fun!! :D You're welcome, I'm glad you...
Thanks Don, glad you enjoyed the videos! I think a dragster ride along thread is an awesome idea. Lord knows I'd watch all the videos over and...
Oh man, I had the time of my life!! One day I'll graduate to the TWIN! :D
Well I haven't driven the TWIN... (YET!) This was the car that popped my cherry last year and this year I had it all day to run whenever I wanted....
Hey thanks, good meeting you guys as well! Damn that little car was FAST!! The camper is crazy, it's a rental from the Navy base. It sets up...
Ahh hell, I'm already deaf!! 12 years of being a jet mechanic will help that along! That mask is for the birds man!! Sure looks cool, but...
Thanks! You learn a lot about yourself when you stab that go pedal through the floorboard! Here are some photos from the event. I was busy with...
Awesome!!!!
Rocky was kind enough to let me beat up on his FED all day (while he had fun with the TWIN!) I started out rusty, especially in the first video....
I had a GoPro strapped to the dragster too, I'm about to start a thread since I can't find a dedicated Eagle Field photo thread, and don't want to...
Crap!! I didn't know you were there either!! Yeah, I had the Black Jeep with the goofy triangle camper. I was right behind Carl in the "pits" and...
Oh, and that flyover was AWESOME!!!
Heck yeah, great times all around!! I know it's a flat thread, but damn was that little four QUICK! I ran against him with Rocky's single engine...
It's all about learning man, at least you had the balls to ask! I'm an airframe mechanic and I've seen WORSE jobs that "trained" mechs have tried...
Great times as always!! Glad I got to be a part of another fantastic event. Keeps getting better and better, thanks for letting me beat up on your...
DO IT!!!! I'll be there, I'd love to see it!! You're welcome, glad everyone is enjoying them!
Thanks so much guys!! All this has me beaming from ear to ear, I'm so glad I was able to bring these photos to light, and so glad Dale still had...
AWESOME!! I love that some of you guys were there/ remember the cars, and the times! Hot rod history at its finest!!! :D
Sadly these are all I have.... :( I knew you local guys would dig these photos!! I don't believe he has any more either. They were in a box his...
