I have to say, that's a lovely set of headers you have there. And I don't say that to everyone either.

[Dragline]

OMG Shane! I missed so much of this I hadda read all before I could comment.

The axle looks great and so do the headers. This is really coming along quite nicely.

I'm really stoked to see you put your talents to work on a project like this.

You got the goods kiddo...

Looking sweet Shane. Cannot wait to see the wheels you are making for it.

And some paint.

It sure looks fantastic already.

[Fuel Coupe]

Thanks Bob,

Here's another update.

Heres a set of wheels I laced up.I tried to strip the chrome and even the purple pond could'nt cut it.

Let me know what you guys think....

Those look GREAT Shane!

Well worth the effort and better than PE by a ###### site too.

I'll never use kit spokes again. Something tells me neither will you.

[Fuel Coupe]

Bob, They were really easy to make and well worth the effort. I just need to finish up the fitting and glue the halves together...

[dustym]

Those front wheels are simply amazing!

We (I) need to know how you did that. Please

Shane:

I'll admit your building is getting better all the time. This build is inspiring in so many ways. I do look forward to see this one finished.

Hat's off to you!

The spokes looks stunning. Please share your building method.

Shane:

I haven't tried this yet, but I hope to soon. Take a look at:

This is a resistance unit. I like this design as several I've seen use a car battery charger which I'm leery to try.

Thanks guys.

The wheels jig takes the largest amount of time to get right. Once thats done its just a matter of lacing them up

I used Ricemans tutorial along with a little prodding from Bob (Dragline) as he just finished a set for his Garlits 1R car. Check it out here in the drag section...

Try it guys, REALLY simple stuff...

Iborg, Im looking to put together a resistance soldering station. I'll look at that link, Thanks again...

[dustym]

Thanks for the link. I bookmarked this as a must have.

[Fuel Coupe]

Heres a little update on the F/E dragster. Few things I'm not happy about but I can square them up soon

Looks good buddy!!!!

[Dragline]

Between the brakes, the fuel pump and the shutoff, I don't know what I like best now!

Excellent progress Shane. Really great stuff.
