Title: GOT IT DONE
Post by: SandDragon on January 22, 2012, 04:39:19 PM
Well it has been a year in the making and I missed riding last year but I got it done maybe this year I can make up for last year and go the sand more. I have a few little things left to button up and the big thing is getting my trans rebuilt although I have ran the snoot out of it in the past I going to take all of your advices and sink some hard earned money in it I don't want to break it the first trip out. The super charged motor is so strong compared to the other 3800's I have ran in the past. Here is a bunch of pictures what do you guy's think.

Ya Ron has been a friend sense I was in high school. He built some of the nicest dragsters you have ever seen. He also has raced for years and owned a drag strip, and worked at the drag strip here in springfield. We hadn't seen each other in a while and he found out I was into buggy's and now we talk several times a week when he is not snowbirding in Yuma.

We probably crossed paths at the drags since I raced in the same circles for many years. Yes,he's built some very fine drag cars. I still think he stopped by here a couple years ago and we talked about cars then. He says not but he has a tendency to pull a guys leg also.

Well just let me know when. I plan on going sometime in March, April, May, and in June they may just be, get there late friday and leave sunday afternoon with one of those trips to be all week long, but I'm going to run the crap out of this buggy or as long as it holds together.
