Wait a minute! That is no Poncho if I'm seeing the plug locations correctly! Looks like a 426 or bigger Hemi! That's awesome!

That's correct...switched to Chrysler. Paint is finally done on the '32 Bantam Fuel Altered body...almost back to fuel altered configuration.

That's very nice! My wife and I love the nostalgia drags at Famosa.

Thanks! The sun finally made an appearance, so I got the body out of the bed of my truck and onto my dolly and started getting the sheetmetal mounted and parachutes hung, and release cables run...

Finally got to the track do some private testing this past weekend. Checking clutch stall and figuring out the new barrel valve. Burnout video will be posted shortly. And, yes, I have a pin up model on the crew.

That thing is bad a**! I love it. I can't decide which is better........ The pic of the valve cover off that hemi, or your pit crew member barring the engine over? :lol: It sure sounds nasty!

Was able to make a couple of 100-ft. test hits over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend at Barona. We were able to tag a .950 60-ft. Here's one of the videos my buddy took...

Man, that's moving on out and looked to go nice and straight too!
