Jim I'll post what I have but you really need plates in side the bed if you mount it like this! I think you could mount it using the top and bottom of the bed only!

Re: drag truck update with pics

When do you think she will be ready to race? Looks bad. I mean that in a good way. You are really doing a great job on it and I am sure most of the work is done by that young good looking boy you have there. Your future racing partner. good looking truck.

Re: drag truck update with pics

led install! Is it my imagination or is the person who wrote the instructions on crack! The instructions tell you how to mount the leds in the taillight housing but the don't tell you you can't install the housings with the leds in them!

Re: drag truck update with pics

looks good...what did you do about the syphon tube in the N20 bottle? I know there is something you have to so to mount it up and down like that.
I started my fresh bullet last night....should take it for a spin tonight.

Place the bottle so it angles towards the back of the bottle. Pretty much imagine it was mounted lying down, stand it up and turn it 180.

Truck looks awsome, making me mad, I have all my parts ready to put mine back together, now it's been raining for 3 days. Step one of list is roll truck out of garage and pressure wash engine bay and paint. Oh well track don't open till May. Keep the pics coming.
