Seems scary to me too, I haven't driven it yet. Hopefully will get licensed and on the track soon.

Had to replace the old wood on the dragster trailer with steell. Always takes longer than you think. And put my new motor in the dragster, 555 BBC.

Danny from one of our local car clubs (I think) did a great job. Just told him to do whatever.

I used a 27 T bucket frame kit from speedway for my truck build. I cut the back off though and added length to accommodate the bed and fuel cell..

Never big enough, had to make a little extra room.

Good lookin truck man

Going to put a sbc with gas to start then move to injected alcohol.

Trading my harley for this without a motor. 185" FED Looking forward to going really fast.

Transmission is out of a dually and I did install a B&M shift kit which helped shift points and firmness a lot. I did the street/strip version of shift kit, supposed to be harder shifting but the tranny shifts really fast from 1st to 2nd but the 2nd to 3rd shift is at a good rpm and seems fine...

34 binder

No problems yet with that or the noise (cross fingers)

I insured mine this year through American Collectors and I paid $161 for the year and were very easy to work with.

I read on other posts that people are running 5-7 degress of caster and 0 degress of camber. What amount of toe in or toe out should I run? Thanks Scott

What do you think is the biggest lift (or safest) lift cam I can run on stock valve springs. Any one have any suggestion for a nice lopy BBC cam? Looking on Summits site they have a lot of choices. thanks Scott

You got that right, I have definitely learned my lesson on this build.

Thanks for the kind words and support. Had to title it today as an 09 special construction. Totally sucks, I even had a good title. Guess in Nevada you have to have the original frame or most of the original frame to title. Live and you learn.

Finally got to do the shakedown run last weekend. here is a link to the original build thread http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1801

I have a 35 IH shell and this is how I mounted mine in front of the perch.
