I think you and I are gonna be freinds. You know, junkie see junkie do.

Here's a pic of the last one I had. Sold it about a year ago. I traded a

62 Nova for it [pics later] 3 years ago and never took it to the track.

djracer · 11-25-2008, 10:05 AM

cool car. I can't wait to get a motor back in my junk!

Lx3 · 11-27-2008, 09:18 AM

as of yesterday my motor is at the machine shop. Won't be long now.

Went to MSD's web page and found a way to check a 6 ALN box and

coil that's been laying on a shelf for 3 years. It's all good. I thought I was

going to have to by pistons but the cam I want puts the compression

right where I want it. NO out of pocket $'s yet.

djracer · 11-27-2008, 11:12 PM

cool keep us posted.

phipp13 · 11-28-2008, 11:30 PM

Thanks keep your fingers crossed hoping for 8's next year.

Lx3 · 11-29-2008, 02:23 AM

8's Wow, I wonder how many trucks, old trucks not pro stock, can run 8's ?

Good Luck. Do you run heads up outlaw type stuff or what ? I'm gonna set

my 69 to run high 11's low 12's. I don't care much for trying to run classes,

index or brackets anymore. I just want to stay in the loop and play. Just to

kinda' give you some history, I've run NHRA and IHRA super street on up to

super comp for years. I dropped my licence in 02. I've been involved with

some pro mod and outlaw street [3000 lb/4.50 sec 1/8'th mile] operations.

Anyway good luck . I'll post some stuff soon. Here's a fan I ran accross.

djracer · 11-29-2008, 10:56 AM

I like the Fan! I don't think that you will find too many full size trucks that run that fast and even less with trailing arms under them! I ran a fair amount of 6.0 heads up stuff last year on the bottle but I hope to be able to run close to that off the bottle next year then low 5's on the juice!

Lx3 · 12-02-2008, 08:44 AM

Hey,
I asked a question the other day about clutches. I've received 0

reply's or comments. Did I put it in the wrong place, do something wrong,

or just gettin' the freeze out ? I'm just asking you because being new

to the site I may not be aware of something.

djracer · 12-02-2008, 09:52 AM

Posted on your thread.

Lx3 · 12-02-2008, 09:44 PM

Thanks
I know I'll find it somewhere. I found this site looking for info

and have been amazed at what's available. I'm just as amazed that

I'm getting no feedback about clutches. Maybe I'll try www. Jurasic

Park and hook up with Fred Flintstone.

I'm having alot of fun with this deal and am trying to go off the board

with some things just for fun. Try this. 4 speed muncie column shifted.

The reverse could be operated with a small lever in the floor or cable

mounted under the dash. Hell maybe a shift-noid and a button. I'm not

that's what I'm gonna do but it's a thought. Hey I just built a fuel log

out of copper for 10 bucks and it's cool. I'll post a pick.

Her's a pick of my Mom and Pop 1955

phipp13 · 12-02-2008, 09:50 PM

DJ IS your WFDT all steel? as in fenders and doors/whats it weigh?

djracer · 12-02-2008, 10:03 PM

Ok humor me what is a WFDT?

hotrod 80 · 12-03-2008, 12:50 AM

WFDT= world famous drag truck

Thank for the clarification. This is what made the truck world famous to me this from when Tom raced it ten years ago.

The truck was all steel when I got it but I have tried to lighten it up some. My truck has a race weight glass hood and doors. If I can lose weight elsewhere I may put steel doors back on. Last year the truck weighed 3200 with me in it. I'd love to get it down to 3000.

You need to bring that beast to Flips...

I did that one night. I parked at publix and drove across vaughn and aired up the tires then drove it to Flips. It rained and it was fun to load back in the trailer.

**regan wilson** · 12-04-2008, 10:41 AM

I wish mine was all steel but i'll pass on the 3700lbs. Where is all the weight in that pig. I wish I had your motor I could run 7's.

phipp13 · 12-04-2008, 05:10 PM

57,000 views!!! and still going strong!!! DJ your truck better run some #s! i think you got that down though. Are the drag strips still open down there? MIR (maryland intl raceway) closed last month. can't wait to get mine down that 1330 ft.

djracer · 12-04-2008, 08:32 PM

we race year round! Any reason you are going that extra 10ft!

hotrod 80 · 12-04-2008, 08:45 PM

Poetry in motin right there . Just plain sweet .

Lx3 · 12-09-2008, 10:15 AM

I don't know why you would want a truck that picks up and runs that

straight. Crooked and twisty makes better pictures. LMAO

Hey, check out what I scored for "FREE" I love my freinds.

djracer · 12-09-2008, 12:26 PM

Those are sweet. It leaves twisted now but I'm gonna try to fix that!
