New Builds
 

Anyone putting together any new cars for the 2015 season ?

Re: New Builds
 

I believe that someone is planning on building a BOSS 429. I see that a Ross piston was approved the first part of November.

Re: New Builds
 

Building, but at the rate I'm going more like the 2017 season.
Oh, '67 Shelby.

Re: New Builds
 

I wouldn't say mine is new since I've been building it since September 14th 2012.

I do plan on having it together this season. Going to try my hardest to have it ready for the season opener in May.

Re: New Builds
 

We have two or three new Challengers for Kevin, Me, and an unknown person. Pink, red, and white. Not sure what classes.

Re: New Builds
 

68 Mustang coupe with a 302. Dark red with white Shelby stripes. Currently in the body work and pre paint stage. My garage is a mess. Runs like a top.

Pro bracket and GT/MA

Re: New Builds
 

under the "class racer builds" section a number of interesting builds are being documented.

Re: New Builds
 

Can I have the pink one?? (If it's a stick, of course.)

Re: New Builds
 

Jeff,I will take the pink one if its an automatic! Haha!

Re: New Builds
 

The pink one is mine. It will run the Race for the Cure for Breast Cancer. It's sorta a tribute to my wife who had her first surgery 40 years ago come March. And I am planning on ordering a pink fire suit for me (large sizes of course) and a matching jacket for my wife. Just not sure of the class. Working on a tie in with a regional cancer group, maybe a tie in with Jeg's foundation. Just something a little different. I can assure you I will be very cute and cuddley.

I have this one and I love it. Looks like they only have medium and large sizes now though. My super stocker will have lots of pink! Hope you all are doing well, Jeff!

Re: New Builds
 

Okay. Can I have the red one then? (Razorback red)

Re: New Builds
 

Need to make posters! :)

Re: New Builds
 

Mine will be 2018ish. 1971 chevelle 454 for stock

Re: New Builds
 

I should be ready for the first D3 race

Re: New Builds
 

What wheelie bar is that? I'm still undecided for my 68 Stang

Re: New Builds
 

It's from Watson Racing.........

Re: New Builds
 

Very nice but out of my budget. I'll remember that shop, though. Lots of nice stuff for Blue Oval folks like me.

Re: New Builds
 

Congrats on your support of a great cause, but just as importantly, congrats on your wife being a survivor!

Re: New Builds
 

What engine combo is it?

Re: New Builds
 

Thanks David. I can assure you she is a better trooper than me. I would have quit long ago.

Re: New Builds
 

It's the supercharged 5.0 from Holbrook Racing

Re: New Builds
 

The very best of luck with the car; with a Holbrook supercharged 5.0, it should be fast!

Re: New Builds
 

Finally took the step to go class racing 2015 for Div.1
1970 Cuda SS/JA pimpin 70's paint

Re: New Builds
 

Thanks Bill, I am a newby to NHRA racing, so it will be baby steps at first.

Re: New Builds
 

Not exactly new, but I am putting my 64 Chevelle Wagon back together to run again in SS/MA.


Really excited about it! My wallet, not so much.....

Re: New Builds
 

Ok, yep I've been working on a C4 Corvette for Superstock. It will be a natural SS/J car, of course hoping it will run SS/I. I've not documented the build much, but I will say it has been a real challenge compared some of my previous builds, even FWD conversions. Hopefully get it done by the last of May. I built the L-98 and dynoed it at Jeff Taylor's shop. Lots to do yet, but I'll keep working forward.

Re: New Builds
 

Ernie , how did you get the 4 link to fit under that vette ? Are the 4 link bars real short , or did you have to move the drivers seat falward a bit ? Very cool car .

Re: New Builds
 

Jeff, glad to see you back. It should be fast.

Re: New Builds
 

Would love to see some shots of the paint.

Re: New Builds
 

Thanks!


I will do my best. But, a couple of Pontiacs are on my radar. Don't think I have anything for them....Lol!


Merry Christmas!


Jeff

Re: New Builds
 

The top bar is 12.5", so yes very short. thanks Ken can't wait to get it done.

Re: New Builds
 

Very cool car Ernie! Is that a 90 model?

Re: New Builds
 

Cooter, you called it right on the year, but got everything for 91 also. Probably paint it all when that time comes. thanks

Re: New Builds
 

Cool car, Ernie!

Re: New Builds
 

Beautiful paint! Reminds me of a Bucky Hess paint job.

Re: New Builds
 

Love the "fish scales". Any lace on it as well? Very time consuming stuff and it looks awesome!

Re: New Builds
 

Not really new, changing my 1989 Mustang GT stick stocker into a 1993 Mustang Cobra R. A back injury @ work in June,2013, and a pulmonary embolism in December,2013 has slowed progress a bit, and finally back surgery in October 15,2014. Slowly moving forward.

Re: New Builds
 

The black car is Jeff Swanson's 1993 Cobra stocker. Nick Heath did the creative photo shop paint rendering.
