Chuckathon: Help Chuck get back onto the Dragstrip

I know Coug ,I've sat in it too...kinda lets you know how Les & Gerry feel when they go anywhere and have to get a Booster seat

yeah just think if they sat in his car the would just barely get their feet hanging over the edge and have 3 ft to the peddles...... take a big block of wood for them to reach it.......



Randy

More like a set of stilts

Coug you and Dan need to stop picking on the handicap. At the NMRA race in BG Dan got in my car and it looked like a little kid about 4 years old setting in there.Someone oiled down the track and Dan took a nap in my car.Now for new update me and Damon went down to Bill's house today to help him sit the new body over on the frame.I am very happy how everything fit on the frame.There is a couple of places Bill said that needs to be trimmed up too make the body fit the way he wants.But all in all everything looks great.Damon and Bill both took pictures of everything and should be up on here in the next couple of days.I can't wait too see it done.Its going to turn alot of peoples heads.Thanks again Bill and everyone that has helped out.I can't say it enough.You guys are GREAT!!

Can't wait to see it Chuck. Is it going to sit low? I looked for a fuel cell at Columbus but all I seen was a 10 gal. and he thought it was lined w/gold.
Are you going to use headers that run inside or outside the frame? LiL Tweety's run outside and it opens up alot of room for oil pan removal,starter,header removal,and the use of a engine diaper. And lastly what parts do you still need? Glad it's coming together

Rick,


I need to update the list again however not much has changed since the last update as far as parts. WE really need the fuel cell or at least the measurements so I may have to go ahead and buy one. We need a 5 gallon aluminum cell. Chuck and Bill were talking about an aluminum fuel cell from ART? I haven't looked into it yet.

I haven't downloaded my pictures yet but looks like Bill has. I'll list them on the build thread

I personally like a Alum. fuel cell over plastic and foam. But thats just me.

Chuck,

Santa Brandon sent a present to you. It's under the Christmas Tree

Santa Fabio is sending you another Present that should be here shortly

Merry Christmas Big Guy!

Santa Fabio's gift arrived Friday.

Merry Christmas Chuck, it's at the house anytime you are in the neighborhood

On a side note; Suzzane, Chuck's sister, says she likes gifts too

Well..................

Damon or Chuck can ether of you post some pics of the header collectors that blowen473 gave you I would like to see how the evac is welded in it.I need to weld one in my headers just want to make sure I am on the right track.

Thanks Jim

Not the same collectors but very similar, here's a few pictures of mine when I first put it together.

Thanks Damon that is what I was thinking would it be to much trouble to see what degree it is set at and post it it looks to be aroung 45* it is sitting just want it to pull good.

Thanks Jim

Yep, they are cut at a 45 degree angle for welding into your collectors. Best place to place them is on top however that's just not possible in a Fox Body

Damon

Damon,
I can fix you up with a fuel pressure gauge as well. I've got an Autometer Sport Comp with the isolator and the hoses, etc. I'll bring it to the tech seminar if you want it. Let me know.

Sure thing, bring it and if we can't use it, I'll send it back. That goes for all donations

Thanks guys!

Do you still need one, I think I have a a new one out in the shop some where, PM me if you do and I,ll look it up. Ward

Thanks Damon for the info on the evac tube mine will have to be in the side as they are tucked tight under the cab for ground clearance

Ward,

Need one?

Are you guys (you and Cole) going to the tech seminar?

any updates yet

Snow........

Chuck said he's going to drop the rear out of the old car tomorrow.

Just happened across this and figured i would ask if you guys are still taking donations?
I dont have much but i doubt i will be on the track anytime soon so maybe some of my money can go elsewhere to someone that can put it to use soon.
