Dragracer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The chute brackets look much better lower then they were,and Bart seems to be right, maybe a little more angle to the chute backings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddgass Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanx Bart and all for the info and the input. Very helpful, so #3 redid the angle and put the aluminum cans for the spring, for the chute. Hope this works better. What do you guys thing?

eviltwincustoms Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Derrick, the other thing that I just noticed is it looks like you are tying off the chute hold downs up high if I am looking at this right. The actual place for the tie off is on the rear diff. At least this is where I have noticed them being mounted on the cars I have viewed at the ADRL Independence Drags. I stand corrected, anyone know what or how it is determined where the tie off is for chutes? What determines if it is mounted off of the rear end or on the mount off of the chassis?

outlaw105 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 His chute tie offs look fine. I guess its all in what location you prefer. Heres a picture of our outlaw 10.5 car while getting built. Chute tie offs right below the bracket like his. (sorry for the bad pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddgass Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks Bros. for all the great info. for the build. Some do run the tie down to the rear end, but i had no room, wheelie bars in the way. So i run them like on my old super pro. T/A, off the frame like this one from S&W Race Cars. Nice 10.5 RG ( T/A? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltwincustoms Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm jones'in here Derrick.... gotta see some updated progress pics! Having a 5yr old Son, he doesn't let me spend much time on my project. As soon as I get off work, gotta go outside and play soccer with him. Plus my 17yr old daughter is coming up to see me this weekend, so no time to myself to work on my car. I need to live vicariously through your build....

baddgass Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks Romell , Gilbert, RG, Greg and all my brother builder for looking in. Well brother i'm doing the last work on the chassis. The battery mount and padales assemblie, then a little sanding and off to paint. And i started work on the engine. I like the shotgun look. So i cut the center out of the 3 hole blower hat with the 1671 blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nice touch. Might have to try that myself Derrick. With two 1/16 Promods to build, I really don't want both with matching scoops. GREAT work my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
