TedsModeling Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Jeff - It all looks so awesome. Those throttle bodies are excellent and you mentioned they were scaled after the real thing - great research work. Is the engine modeled after a specific Sonny's engine? If so, how do you get your measurements from them? Is that very first photo a pic of the valve covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff f Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I made some progress over the weekend. A front cover,Jesel pulleys,and a damper. Just wondering, what wheelbase a TDR Chassis is??? Thanks for all the Comments,it sure helps keep the fire going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Jeff... nice progress on the engine. It is looking killer. I want to say that the TDR chassis wheel base is 115" but I am not positive the size they drew it up to. 115" is the max wheelbase for Pro Mods. if I am correct you are doing a Top Sportsman And I am not sure what the allowable wheel base is for them. I could check my NHRA rule book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff f Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Many thanks Chris , a stock 57 has a 115" wheel base . I"m thinking aTDR starting point . Also leaning towards a strip only car. Thanks again Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Really nice job on the struts and vacuum pump components! If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the springs and what are their dimensions? Edited December 4, 2015 by futurattraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff f Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Not at all Scott , I make due with what I can get my hands on. In this case I used .016 safety wire wound around a drill blank . Can I get an 82 Glidden fairmont and decals from you ? I saw him many times at S.I.R.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for the info Jeff. You did an outstanding job on your springs. I thought they looked commercially made! And yes, I'd be happy to get a Fairmont to you with Glidden decals. I'm waiting on an order from Chuck, so I'll let you know when they're in...
