"Grover" a 1954 Barndoor single cab with supercharged Autocraft engine
7
Have been reading with interest for a while and this is my first post.
I am currently building a "steetable" Single cab that I plan to drag race.
Grover is a 1954 Barndoor single cab that I have had for a while now and like all things is getting out of hand :happy:
The engine is an Autocraft 101.6 x 88. It runs a moldex crank, Pauter rods, CP pistons, 910 heads with Titanium and Incanel valves etc. The trans is a bus box build by Dave Butler (Dangerous Dave) to be as strong as it can and will run A RLR rev 6 clutch.
It will be super charged with a 2300 Harrop charger, with a water to air inter cooler. A Haltec ecu will control the fuel and ignition and full data acquisition.
The SC will be full bodied and has an ANDRA approved roll cage.
I am not sure how all this will work so I am hoping my questions can be answered here.

Starting to get somewhere.
The inter cooler all mocked up for a trial fit and to work out all the plumbing.
Cooling fans mounted
Cooling shrouds coming together.

I spent way too much time on the cooling shrouds, but they are 99% done.
All welds are Shauns http://www.shaunscustomalloy.com.au/index.php
Welded tab on for Oil filter, I am not sure I will need it, but have the parachute anchor sorted, its removable.
Nice Big Catch can/ breather.
Just arrived, 300m axles from Kartech, thank good the size is right :thumbsup:

Drawn a line in the sand to have Grover running down the strip at The Sydney VW Drags in Feb.
Finalizing a few things before his underside get a paint.
Added another tube the front, really happy how it turned out, probably not a bad option for streeters, you cannot see it when its on the ground.

HI Grover,
Thanks for your compliments, but again its not all my work, I only dream of welding like that.
Paul and Cain from Pro flow did their magic and fabbed up the wheelie bars and some more bracing.
Off to paint this week.
