...and gaping holes, and door lines......and a whole lot more! ;D   Headers will exit via the top and thru the passenger doors.....  I used the Too Much dragster motors and hacked the chassis to hold it all. The cockpit is from whats left of it.  There's a complete smooth belly pan under there, and I made smooth pans under the motors and walled in the engine and drivers compartment. I used the stock chassis for a platform, but I ground the poop out of it with a Dremel to get everything to fit, so the belly pan hides a multitude of sins! It's got a long ways to go, including filling some of Scott's favorite gaps! LOL. |

BigDave, after mocking this thing up about a hundred times, (not exaggerating) and finally getting the motors where they needed to be, I glued down the chassis inside the body, and taped the engines in place with the valve covers on the heads. Then I drew a series of lines widthwise and lengthwise on the body, and carefully measured the locating holes for the header tubes. I drilled small starter holes first, then the size holes I needed. I made 16 aluminum tubes for the headers to poke out of the holes! Wierd, but thats me.......

Well, as a graduate of Flannery University (F.U.), I was tempted to do 3 or 4 motors, but I figured the weight/horsepower ratio was not worth it. (Holy crap, I'm talking like Flounder....."It isn't real.....It isn't real....It isn't real!" Whew! That's better.....) Boom, that paint is water-based AutoAire and is dishwasher safe. (Lungs too) Don't worry, I've got that respirator on faithfully for many years shootin' the HOK stuff and the pearl dust! Glad you guys like this. It's fun so far, but needs a lot more work to try and keep up with Scott. I guess I need to take my challenges more serious..... ;D Scott got a sneek peek at my Miller/Nolan builds and doesn't like it, so I'm guessing I'm screwed on that one! LOL. Jeff must have something awesome in the wings waiting to attack!  |

That whole East/West Coast thing just evades me. I like cars, period. Hell, I've seen hotrods from Cape Cod that rock. There's talent everywhere you go. It's a Brotherhood as far as I'm concerned, and you either get it, or you don't . That's the part that seperates US from everyone else...... |
