Any updates? Did you make that bell crank?

Love the pocket work on the motor plate. Car is looking good.

Yes I made the bell crank. I have machined all the parts on the car.
-
Chassis is finally painted. rear end is together and in . working on getting body painted. all parts are off to chrome and anodizing.

Looks great! I have one of David's chassis myself.

Brake calipers either go in front or behind the rotor in order to bleed the air from the system, unless you plan to remove them and rotate them in order to do that

I've often wondered if there was any different effect on the way a car handles / stops - or launches - by the location of the caliper mounting. I can't see one but to the rear seems most accessible.
-
Way too many other variables to influence the cars reaction then to what the placement of the brake caliper is. Leave that argument to the people up in the stands Airheart calipers were mounted on the top (12 O-clock) because the bleed screws were at the top
-
got chrome done .been slinging paint and a lot of flake.
-
Paint looks great.
-
Looks great! Did you build the fuel tank or buy it?
-
I built the tank. Couldn’t find anything that fit the way I wanted . Cv
-
so for tribute to my dad and his racing over the years. I had to get the rat from his old car painted on my dragster.
-
Looking good! Keep up the good work!!
-
Nice build! I would like to contact David at Dragster Supply, do you have his email or phone number? Thanks, " Exracer"
-
David built my chassis as well, he did very nice work, but I'm not sure he is in the business anymore.

Ran the NDRL meet at Norwalk this weekend.First event with the car.Lost first round. but did run a 7.55@183. Really impressed with new build.
-
Always wanted to go to that race ! Great first time out for you !

Sweet Jesus, that looks nice. That shotgun injector is a prized piece.
