That's him. His is pad is a little better furnished than mine., ha.. I went to a few shows and some cruise-ins this year. There is a weekly cruise-in at a restaurant 3miles from my house and they raffle gift certificates for free to the drivers, that's been fun. Here's a pic I like from a show...

In the 70s there was a tv show called Vegas where the star, Dan Tanna drove his old t-bird into his home. I always thought that was cool and said some day I'd have a set up like that. Finally got it..

I put up some led lights in my new shop. Love leds. They are wired to a regular wall switch but I put the pull strings on so I can turn any off, as needed... Funny, the guy that owned this place for the past 38 years never had more than the one 60w light that you can see in that last shop pic.

Finally got a place out in the country. It has a lot bigger garage and a nice lake full of fish.

How long does it last for you with that set up?

And, I am jealous of that Dana. Sweet!

Here's a tip. When working around the rear window, cut a piece of plywood and lay it on a blanket on the Dutchman panel. After painting my car I dented mine with my elbows and or knees while putting the rear window trim on.

I also put a few drops on one of my front running lights where the stamped steel bulb receptacle is pressed into the pot-metal light housing/frame. Corrosion from the dissimilar metals was keeping the bulb from grounding. Been good 4 years since. My car never gets wet tho. No driving in rain or...

Yes. I only put in a cup of molasses. I didn't put any water in. Just pink anti-freeze.

Yep, I did put some in my radiator, after making the mistake of using 100% water in it for it's first 2 years. It started leaking from rusting out the chrome water pump nozzle holding the thermostat. I fixed it by filing it down to a good sealing surface again. Then filled it with just coolant...

Will you be racing with the trailer attached? Ha ... Dang you come up with more good ideas than anybody I've ever seen! Bravo Zulu!

I should have said when I started this thread that I'm running an auto trans. Sorry to everyone who wasted time talking about locks with manual trans. I think it's obvious to us all that lock out on rears with manual wouldn't be a good way to go, even if you were Fred Astaire, ha... I have...

Great work as usual! Good to see you finishing it up. I'd consider installing the trim yourself unless you're confident with the noel guys.. Easy to scratch paint putting it on. Also, I dented my Dutchman panel with my elbows while working on the rear window. I removed the trunk lid and I was...

I have only got about 2k miles on it now, after 3 years of cruise ins and car shows. I love driving it but not in a lot of traffic. It really feels good and everything works great on it. It reminds me of my go-kart racing days the way it handles turns. The super sticky M/T tires and stiff...

It does sound good. Too bad that's not the real audio. The guy that made that video changed it to an open header car. When I put in my 500hp motor I'll put some cutouts on it. Never have cranked it with open headers except for a few short times in my garage when first getting it running.

I'm still undecided but leaning towards putting it on rears. I wonder how nhra techs would react if you told them yes the line lock is on the rear line but not being used to lock-in the rears. It's being used as a lock-out the rears. I bet the rule was written with someone locking-in the rears...

Well I got lazy and didn't do my annual new years post but it's been 10 years since I got the charger and things are still good with me and it. Just trying to make it thru the boring winter and looking forward to some good cruising, cruise-ins and car shows in 2023. Happy New Year everyone!

A bud told me he was putting his line-lock on his rear brakes. I said that's not going to work but he explained that it actually works better. You hit the switch without brakes applied and then you will only have front brakes which you can pedal on an off if/as needed during burn-out. Finish...

Thanks, good read. I was thinking that at a hi cost Lloyd’s of London would probably cover on track and looks like they can co-cover with companies like in that article.

Looks like this co insures on track but they're in Canada I think. Not sure that would work for me. Drag Racing & Insurance: Does My Car Insurance Cover Me at the Racetrack? | Surex
