I stuck them in there so I could suspend the frame with out touching so I could apply the Shark Hide, sorry about the slow progress, I have been in working to buy the property my business is at, I have been there 21 years and all they do is raise the rent, last time was 40% (approx) or get out, I tried for 5 years to buy but no luck, my son worked it for 6 months and we opened escrow last Thursday so I gave him 25% ownership, this is the largest purchase of my life, the property is polluted and I will be responsible for the cleanup (part of the buy).   

I have to ask what are the tubes sticking out of the front of the dragster frame?



Y's guys rule!

Short note, started to make the dash, this is cut out of an old off road race truck part (carbon fiber), switch plate mocked up, switches used to be mounted in the dash.

Now the dash, this thing is CRAP, I'm going to make a new one, the wire loom looks like the phone wires in my house. so all will be new.

Working today, new stainless brake line (20ft) routes through the frame (hard to do), master cylinder cleaned, painted and installed, new brake push rod made (stainless) the old one was a pipe, with nuts welded on each end (poor work), reworking the brake pedal. 

Shifter done and installed, the solenoid was a hard job (finished with Sharkhide) 

More work, this work is slow, front wheels installed, cleaned all parts, new seals, fit gas tank (hard job), refinished the mount for the shifter,, started rebuilding the shifter.

Going home

Update, working on all small parts, cleaning repairing and refinishing (long time), I am replacing the gas tank going from 2 1/2 gal to 4 gal, however it won't fit the car, so some more work, added a bushing to the steering rod, was metal to metal before.

Installed

Here's what I did today, will install it tomorrow
