Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Did you ever get this painted?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It is still in paint shop prison. I am motivated to get it back going so I am gonna push the paint shop. They just got a new paint booth and they want to get it installed and paint my truck in the new booth!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

have you got the one piece side glass figured out. i was going to do the same thing but havnt figured it out yet..

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I am not sure which way to go yet. I may put vent windows in it as a black truck and a fire suit is gonna be really hot!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

That was just wrong! Cant wait to see it Kevin.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I won't be racing on an U prepped track I can promise you. I don't even think I am gonna run without concrete retaining walls! My wife will be my biggest supporter as long as I don't get hurt. I may even try to get a Hans device. I know I want an onboard fire system!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

from wat i heared during the show on tv that one of the nitrousbottles let loose and hit him in the shoulder , you can actually see the bottle take off like a rocket in the footage of the accident
on other fotos i saw that the tabs holding his seatbelts where broken , i think daddy dave took it a little to far in the as light as possible department and taken too mush out of the safety department

later on saw that the crow had been hit during a run and is now totaled too , not his fault though , the guy next to him crossed lanes and hit his rearquarter causing him to hit the grass and roll a few times , he said he was still alive because he had the cage build by profesionals that showed him the misstakes the former builder made and totally redid the cage
think those engines there using make 1800 hp depending on their tune

youre truck launched pretty straight with the old engine i just hope youre newer bigger engine doesnt overpower the tires
did you done anything new to the 502 ?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Good to hear Kevin, hope to see it run at MMP soon.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I have made some improvements to the chassis and hope it will have allot better 60ft. My new motor is 80 more inches and a much better combination. I have a much nicer fogger and a plate. My goal is to run 7's in the quarter.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Body shop says they hope to spray cab tailgate skin and roll pan Thursday night!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

3years 8 months at the paint shop. I looked back and I had posted a pic when I dropped it off at the Paint & Body Shop. I still won't have the doors and front clip but I will be happy just to have the rest painted and back home so I can get the powder coating done. I can also put the motor and tranny in and start building hedders.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

That is forever in a body shop. Hope you got a good deal on the work.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

he better be or the work should be outstanding
doing it "in between jobs "ok but its starting to get ridiculous

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It better look really sweet!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Kevin, I got a head and neck restraint when I started running 5.00 index in the Monte Carlo. Here is a link.http://www.defnderneckbrace.com/
I have used it for several years now, and like it.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sweet I probably need one of those and a better fire suit!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Getting ready for a long time Homecoming! 3 years eight months and 3 day to get half of the truck out of paint! The shop is supposed to paint the cab tailgate and roll pan tomorrow night! The only thing left will be the doors And glass nose. I have tons of work to do but atleast which the truck here I can started.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Few photo updates! I will pick it up tomorrow!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Few more with clear

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Nice! Do you mind saying who's painting it?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

wow , i have to say the wait mightve been worth while , shiny black shows any ripples flaws or dents left in the bodywork
i only hope that the polyester doors and nose fit straight out of the box as i will be hard to change the swage/ beltline and the gaps on those without possibly marring the stuff allready painted

make sure the paint is fully cured before working on it and tape off all the stuff before fitting the big items like said doors and nose

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Good info - hopefully he told the painter.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

This didn't take all these years for no reason. The glass doors are to be sold. The truck will have steel doors and vent glasses and roll up and down windows. It has a factory windshield and a lexan back glass. I wasn't happy with the way one of the doors fit so I got I used door and one new a/m door then wound up doing the rockers and cab corners ofer to get all the lines as close to perfect as possible. The doors have defiantly been fitted to the cab. The front end fits pretty well. Advanced Collision in Prattville painted the truck.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

A few more pics

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Very cool that this has pushed forward. You're a patient man!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Had allot going on in the last few years but more motivated than I have ever been.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Glad to see it moving Kevin.. I do remember mine being down for over 1 year and you making a comment that you don't think you could make it through even that long. Look who has more patience than they originally thought.. It's hard though isn't it..

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It has defiantly been tough but I hope the end result we be worth the wait

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It will be my friend.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
