Floneous Welding

It is pronounced Feloneous. It means to have someone weld for you using stolen equipment ! (ha) Couldn't resist...

Honestly, I don't know...

Go to this website:

they review all digital cameras in great detail. I chose my Nikon D70 because of them, and I love it! Wouldn't trade it for anything.

You might consider getting a powered welder such as the bobcat or trailblazer and using its power outlets for the millermatic. Weigh the cost differences......

Overall kit

Well at least you are happy with the finished product. So basically you got the 2x3 square frame and 4-link kit and added the funny car kit later along with other required bracing to meet the 7.50 requirements. Are the ladder bar mounts 16" on center? I noticed that...

Instructions

Does the Super Car kit come with decent instructions, or is it pretty much a "here's your tubing, good luck" thing. I'd love to have one of those, but would hate to get in over my head. By the way, what type of differential did you use? Doesn't look like anything...

Sweet Chassis!!!

Dude, thats a sweet setup you've got. Am I correct in assuming its the Morrison Super car chassis? I'm also assuming by the tread on the tires that you will see some street use out of this car...?

Let me get the truck finished and sold and I will start...

Frame rails

Havn't got the car yet. Wife says I have to sell the big block C10 I'm building first. Just getting idaes right now.

[sarge75801]

I know I have been talking about a dragster chassis, but has anyone here built a back half car? I am thinking about an Art Morrison rear clip, but have heard bad things about them. Does anyone have any experience with this?

[sarge75801]

Level of cert

Was planning on building it to "Top Dragster" level, but starting with a mild small block and gradually building up the horsepower. That way I can get a feel for it without getting stupid early in the game.

Apparently someone bought it. Couldn't find the video on your website.

Thanks for the thought though......

I'm sure that chassis jigs are probably well guarded secrets by the top builders, but does anyone have good pics of a dragster chassis jig so I can get some ideas on how to design one for my own use. I'm not asking for trade secrets, just a reasonable idea so I have something to go on.

CroMo Tubing

Would love it, but I live in Texas so shipping won't be pretty. Let me ask you something:

1) Is there a specific type of chroMo that I need to use for this dragster project, such as 4130N? I want to practice on the exact type I will be using. I will be getting...

[sarge75801]

Thanks

I appreciate the advice. I have always planned on heavy duty practice using 4130 scrap up to and as far as getting a joint jigger and cutting them to fit just like the real thing. For now, I just want to get ideas for a machine so I can start saving up money. I was always planning...

I appreciate the concern

I appreciate the concern for my safety, and agree that no absolute beginner should do this. I plan on taking a welding course at the local Jr. College, but was merely looking for advice on a frame kit and a machine. Sounds like the Syncrowave 200 is the way...
