Good Evening all,

Dave took a week off the truck to work on his Front Engine Dragster.
He finally broke into the 5's yes the 5's. He went 5.87 @ 25? mph at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.
He is now one of the top 4 front engine guy's.

This weeks updates are all about the parts.
Ordered Axle's from Strange and as promised they shipped in 3 day's Great Company.

Wait a new shaft -- Yep another steering shaft. The one from Syborg went into Project 663.

Yet another throttle Cable - Lokar has sure made money off of me.

Hood Release Cable and pull

This give's you an idea as to how the gauges are going to look in the new dash.

Here it is in the truck -- it's amazing we were able to stick 9 Guages in there.

That all for this week.
I didn't have time to get out there today to get pics of the work Dave did this week.
Next week I hope to have some really cool update as I plan to get it on the ground for the first time in over a year.

I would like to see someone scroll through this thread and count how may times the words "looking good" appear in sequence.

I just like drooling over the parts.;)

Good Afternoon,

Just a Quick Update.
Dave finished the dash surround just in time.

I meet Kris from Autometer at the shop to talk about the gauges that we want to put in the dash.
It looks like it's going to be the Sport Comp II line. Should look really nice once mounted.

This is the backside of the surround and how the billet panel mounts.

Need to make room for the gauges and wiring

2006_06_21_018.jpg


This is how it looks in the truck with a spare set of Autometer Gauges

It's hard to tell from the picture but this is one of there new Gauges in the panel.

Good Morning All,

It's on the Ground and i am pumped.
The ride height is dead on and it's low.

This is what the truck looked like when i arrived at 7:30am.
I have a bunch of work to do by 10am when Bob get's here.

2006_06_24_002.jpg


Fist thing to do was install the New 14" Rear Brakes from Precision Brakes.
They did a great job on the kit.
What's scarry is they no longer look big to me.

Back View of the mounting brackets.

The Brakes look better now that they are 14" vs. 13" that were originally on the truck.

Installed the new Grille - looks much better then the White Mock Up Grille.

2006_06_24_011.jpg


This kinda of Gives you an Idea what Bob Thrash came up with for the Exhaust Exit.
More to come later i promise.

2006_06_24_029.jpg


Yep it was on the Ground by 10am and it's low. This is ride height so it can go 4" lower when aired out.

2006_06_24_016.jpg


You can see there is plenty of clearence to drive it on the road.

Just your token rear end shot.

Is that glass front bumper cover made with the support/mounting system integrated? I swear Ive heard someone was making a glass bumper cover with a lighter than stock support integrated :dunno: but never heard for sure.

Oh, gotta get my "lookin good" in there too.
