Well here we go, Sat. the day before Drag Day, and the car is READY! Thanks to Randy and alot of patients, we did it. Ran into a couple of walls in the process, but figured it out and all is a go. Now let see what it does on DD..... ;   .

Damn that looks good!!

Have fun today.

[DKK Ted]

Well had a great time, car ran good, a little hot but good. My best was 8.67@79.95. There is room for improvement I'm sure, more seat time, jetting, less air in tires and so on. Will be installing a oil cooler this week, jet a little richer and take it for a spin and go from there. But the main thing, I had fun. Below is a pic on the track.

[DKK Ted]

Just want to say, I had NO wheel hop with my new Kafer Bar. Wheel spin, but no hop. I had bought the bar new from someone else, and I believe it's a Fast Fab unit. Very nice piece, easy install. Had to make the plug.

Ted,
Your car looks right on in that picture, nice work buddy.

I can only hope my '70 eventually looks that good once it sees paint... who knows when that will be, right now I'm focused on the engine.

[DKK Ted]

Thanks guy's for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Ryan, trust me, you will get your car where you want it. I never thought I would have a nice a car as people tell me. You set your mind to it, you will have it. Believe me it took me a while to get it where it's at today. There are still some flaws, but I believe in detail, and that helps take away from them. This was not a ground up project, I bought the car already painted, just added my own touch and detail. I learned alot during this project, and still not done, when is it ever? When people compliment my car, I take it to heart, not my head. There is always something better than yours, but you make it what you want and be proud of it for yourself, not nobody else. That what makes this hobby unique, everybody has there own twist, and 9 times out of 10, they are very cool twist. You get what I mean. You keep up the build, and keep us all posted to the finish, and hell, even after that, cause we never finish.

I hear ya, Ted.  For now, I'm enjoying the car through the Mark Herbert philosophy, as it's all about the fun, first and foremost.  Plenty of time for cosmetics   This new engine will be a beast compared to what I'm used to, have my rods from VW Paradise, so soon I plan to set up shop in the garage and start mocking up the bottom end.

[DKK Ted]

HAHA I BEAT YOU!!!!

ezkiel, first, you did not beat ME, if you check your time slips, I ran you early in the day to get our dial-in or heads-up which I beat YOU. Racing, I did not race you, I ran against somebody else #115, I beat him, then I raced Mike #650, HE beat me. After that I was in the pits, who you ran and beat to take the win, I have no idea. SO being the better sport that I am, Congratulations to you and your win.

Ted

[OgCalLook]

^^^ Grudge match!!

[DKK Ted]

Ok.. since you put it that way, your right. Did you race that mustard color bug (Mike) after? He beat me, then somebody beat him I think after. What are ya running? I did remember you were in front of me when we ran for our time in the morning, sounds pretty good. Will see ya next time. Grudge race? Let me get some more seat time before any grudge race. Besides there is no grudge here, just out to have fun.  Congrates dud on your win.
