  5. Bill......this was one of the most beautiful dragsters to run down the 1/4 mile.......every part on your build looks brand new......I think you should ask Jerry Clayton his opinion about blueing the pipes......I bet he will say no.......not that the blueing would make it look ugly......just that he has the reputation of having one of the most perfect beautiful dragsters in history.......just my thought.....either way this is my vote for the best drag car of the year........hands down.
  6. Charlie.....wheels look great.
  7. Danno.......you have no idea how long I have been craving your burgers.......I`m not going to eat for a few days so that I can pig out at the barbecue.

  11. Ray.......I make a goal of what I want to accomplish every day........sometimes I go for 4 to 5 hours sometimes an 1 hour a day......depends on what my goal is........I average 25 plus hours a week....... even when I`m working I get some bench time in.......I just love the hobby........it really relaxes me......thanks.

  15. Ray......I built 3 of those bikes about 3 years ago.......in the 60`s my father and uncle built this buick V8 drag bike.......they use to take it to Lions drag strip......I was around 6 years old at the time.....I remember being able to wipe off the slick at the starting line,before take off......it was called The "Italiano"........thats why I am so much into drag racing......April 1966 it made the cover and a feature in Modern Cycle magazine.......at that time it was the fastest gas drag bike in the world at a speed of 156MPH..........I was there when Don Garlits had that nasty explosion at the starting line......at the time I did not even know who he was?......now he is my favorite drag racer of all time.......I grew up around Lions, Irwindale, and Orange County drag strips......I built one for my father ,my uncle and one for me.....I posted pictures here about 3 years ago.....if it is still here it would be under Buick V8 drag bike or the "Italiano".......I don`t remember?"........thanks.
