Made the pilgrimage to
Indiana again.
Lots of progress to
report, Mid May Delivery date still looks good. I took many shots,
and whittled them down to the ones below. I wish I had more space on
this site to show more, and that I could put more on a page but then
the pages would load slowly for those with dial up would suffer. The pictures
below are a mixture of ones that I have taken and ones that
Roo Man
has taken.
We will start at the
front.
|
 |
The front axle has been mounted up, Radius
rods are in place, shop wheels and tires are bolted on, Steering
linkage brackets are in place. |

 |
Detail of radius rod mount to chassis |
 |
Fuel tank has been built, and installed. |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
Fuel Pump and filter are mounted. |
|
Fire Bottle brackets are installed |
 |
 |
 |
Front and rear engine plates have been built
and installed. The water pump installation is still in the process.
Pontiac has offset heads, and has a unusual way of routing the water
coming out of the pump. |
 |
 |
 |
Note the routing holes in the uprights in the
chassis to route cables and wires in. |
 |
Rear of the chassis is coming along nicely,
Rear end has been mounted in double shear, and diagonal braces have
been installed for Top Fuel Chassis certification. |
 |
 |
Note in this picture you also see that the shifter has been mounted. |
 |
 |
 |
Enlarge this picture to see the double shear
tabs that hold the rear end in place. |
 |
 |
Floating hubs have been installed, axle is not yet in, gears have
not yet been chosen. |
 |
 |
Bottom and side panels are all but complete. Only the right side is
shown here. |
 |
 |
 |
This is the style of the rear wheels (this is
my actual wheel). |
|
Here is a walk around. |
