baddgass Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 A little work this week, cut the hood opening for the 14/71 and got the frame in prime.
baddgass Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Looks great Derrick. Thanks Got the engine in paint and trying to pick a top hat. Still have to carbon fiberthe hats.

stump Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Thanks Got the engine in paint and trying to pick a top hat. Derrick, you know me......after putting the time into modifying the 3-hole into a shotgun.....I'd go with that. Looks awesome man, and I think both would suit equally, but I made my choice....

Mooneyzs Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Derrick... this is looking great... and I have to agree with the others here with the Shotgun style injector had. I think it looks great!
baddgass Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 Thank guys for looking in. Here some pics. of the frame and engine in paint. Still some touch up work to do.
Mooneyzs Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Derrick... you are doing an outstanding job on this. Wow that thing just looks awesome. Getting some color on the frame sure makes it pop. I really like the color of the chassis. What did you end up spraying it with if you don't mine me asking? engine is off to a great start too. man this build is just awesome!
Dr. Cranky Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 The fun continues, I am in awe of that frame.

Magic Photos Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Very nice work what size nuts and bolts did you use on the rear end assembly?
eviltwincustoms Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Very nice work what size nuts and bolts did you use on the rear end assembly? Most use Scale Hardware 00-90 which are US threads. I called the guy today and he told me he is moving towards Metric threaded bolts and will be phasing these out. So my suggestion would be to go with the 1.2mm Hex bolt. It is the same bolt diameter and head size. Only difference is the 1.2mm has a little thinner head and shorter length which isn't needed.

Also I have to add that Scale Hardware has added more sizes since I started buying nuts and bolts from them at the beginning of this year. Bob is a great guy to do business with.

Mooneyzs Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Chris, I think you own stock in Scale Hardware... with all the detail work you have been doing lately on your dragster! I don't think you want to know how much I have spent on all of the hardware that I have... sad thing is i am going to be orering some more tonight or tomorrow. I ran out of a few sizes while getting the new engine all drilled up for them. Derrick...sorry to hijack your thread for a sec
