Glenn's dragster thread
denverflatheader:
Glenn – enjoyed watching your latest video. Very nice custom piece, and pleased to see your son displaying a few of his hidden talents. Taking extra time to share the little details and thought process does make your videos better. Mirror polishing 6061 in a white t-shirt, "yes” I was impressed; as messy as that job is, sure makes one-of-a-kind parts pretty.
You said at the end of the video “it looks like it belongs there,” I agree. Another reason is when looking at your engine, the new belt guard does not attract attention, it vanishes. That takes talent to accomplish. You have to point it out to a viewer which provides occasion to tell a story. Alan

Front Engine Dragster Update, Starter Cables
Yes, it is true, I have hurt my back and the ground is now a long way away and hard to get to. I do have a couple of short segments that were meant to go into one update that I will now split up into small tantalizing clips (I hope).
At least there will be no 30 minute videos for awhile.

Car Nuts 06 02 2018 move the 49 Chevrolet Gasser into the trailer.
In this Car Nuts meeting we moved the 1949 Chevrolet from the garage, into the trailer. Might seem like a simple task but my driveway has quite a slope, there is no winch in the trailer, yet, and the steering and brakes are not connected.
I had sworn I would not do this until some progress was made on the Gasser. My son is the only one that worked on the Gasser while it was in the garage.
We will get back to it, but I needed room for the Jeep (as it remains roofless and door-less throughout the whole summer).
It is my summer daily driver.
My back is doing better and we intend to make good progress on the dragster this week, so watch for an update next week.
We will not make the Bowling Green race, but will make every effort to make the Norwalk (Blue Suede Cruise) race!
Next Car Nuts meeting feel free to stop by, if you want on the mailing lest send me a message with your e-mail address (Private Message).

Another chopped up rushed
video as we just have no time left.
First fire up of the new
engine, and we attract attention we could do without.

I had a neighbor that did the same thing. I was like you, very seldom started the car, always during the day and only when absolutely necessary. Cop would come out and apologize for coming out but said he had to follow up on complaint. I probably didn't start the car more than 6 times in 2 years. It aggravated her so much that she couldn't do anything about it that she finally sold her house and moved.
