the old car was tho heavy (555kg)for the 2176 cc index (505kg) best ET 11.02,we are building the car ourselves (a pro mod builder is bending the tubes) so we can get the right old slingshot hotrod look :th_DragRacer:

That is pretty cool.

VWP had just come out with their 1st FED when I was starting my G/D build. Almost went that route.

Tjena Ove!

Nice to see you in this forum and REALLY nice to see the ACVW dragster community slowly grow.
You know that I have 99% of all my stuff to my my rail on wheel again and with the original engine but an Autorotor on top?
Now, all I need is to stay put in one spot and that si my garage, then it will happen.

Good luck. Looking a lot forward to the updates.

You guys are making progress very quickly. Are you going to do a modern style front axle or an old school tube axle ?

Sorry for the stupid questions, I hope you dont mind? I see the 3 shift rods, how are the gear shifts made? Does it have a reverse? And how much does it weigh?
Your build is awesome! I check your thread daily, thanks for the updates.
