Suppose to be done at the end of the week, and going to get it Sat. Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't get done the way things have been going, even my belts have a bad cam lock buckle, and on back order now.

On another note, I got charged $70 re-stocking fee on the first crappy seats I ordered in. Even after I asked the little parts geek before I ordered and he said no charge if I had to bring them back, the butt-munch owner took $70!

djracer · 07-27-2006, 05:05 PM

I would have taken it out of his arse!

Let me tell you, it took all my will power not to put his teeth out the back of his head.

I'm trying to forget about it before I go back.

Anyway, found a set of belts, maybe things are looking up, then again, talked to roll bar guy today he asked if I could pick it up Sun instead. Inspection guy just got back to him with plan approval for the back bars.

djracer · 07-27-2006, 08:09 PM

That's not bad they are usually weeks late with my junk!

Well I'm joining the club, drove 5.5hrs. each way in the rain there and back along with a side wind. Oh did I mention my truck didn't get finished and I have to do it again next weekend.

71Dragtruck · 07-30-2006, 11:24 PM

Here are a few pics of another truck the guy's doing.

71Dragtruck · 07-30-2006, 11:25 PM

More.

71Dragtruck · 07-30-2006, 11:49 PM

Here are a few pics from the past at the local track. I have no details at all on the trucks or even how old the pics are.

djracer · 07-31-2006, 12:31 PM

No pics of yours what's up with that?

What's the deal with the 4 bars out the back of the cab? I have never seen that before and you show 2 trucks like that!

The first truck you show needs allot of bars to replace the strength taken out with the firewall!

No pics of mine till it's done

The first one, Not sure what they are putting in for a firewall I think steel just shaped for the set back motor. Didn't ask about the extra bars, It has serious cage so far, lot's of extra braces inside also. Could it be possible that it's that way to do away with the funny car cage but still tech for 8's? It was 1/2 done then taken to this guy, and now being changed, not sure what stays and goes.

One thing that I don't like on mine is my seat sits too far forward now, I have to try and move the pedals forward for more leg room. He made my back hoop a bit different as a trade off. It has 2 down bars from the top that tie to the frame, and to the back bars, with it like this the NHRA inspector allowed the side bars to attach with plates to the floor and not tie into the frame. Also let me keep my slider and make room for the back bars to travel through the corners. But bad side, head rest hits on the bar and has to be moved forward, not good when your 6'1" 250lbs.

My truck is camera shy when it's stripped down

I was going to take a few pics on Sunday, but got a little off track and didn't get around to it. I'll for sure post some when I pick it up.

bigjimzlll · 08-02-2006, 09:50 PM

409biscayne · 08-02-2006, 10:25 PM

bigjimzlll · 08-02-2006, 10:30 PM

No racing this weekend...I am putting the new Qa1 front shocks on, new ATI 8" converter and ultimate playback tach and wheel tubs and bed cover...lol the list goes on and on

djracer · 08-02-2006, 11:04 PM

BigJim our trucks look like they could be related! Thanks for the pics!

nxtruck · 08-03-2006, 03:15 PM

I'd be glad to, if I can figure out how to do it. I've been meaning to post some pics of my truck on the picture forum, but haven't quite figured out how. Not too computer-literate!
Anyways, those brackets are really nothing more than 1/4" steel turned to make a 90* bend. All together, they're about 5" long, bent in a 90* at about 2 1/2". I drilled a hole in each flat, bolted the bracket to the frame, then attached the upper mount of the shock through the other hole. Nothing too fancy. If I can figure this picture thing out, I will get some pics up.
Hope this helps.
