Gates Bros. - 185" Build

(1/1)

e-drag:
A couple years back, on the tow home from the ET Finals my son Jack said he was done racing Jrs with all the kids.  It was time to hang them up and build a big car.  The choice was obvious, build an NE2 dragster.  Basically a trip back to 1977 for me, back when my dad and I ran a B/MD ran at Neita, Cordova, Rockford and Cordova.

We started with an S&W kit and did the build in the garage with help from my older son's buddy who is a welder over at Camp Pendleton.  I will post pictures and updates so that you can share the excitement with us.  Here we go!

First order of business is to get you up to date on the progress.  Let's start from the beginning.  Say tuned...
