    As you can see above we got the +4 boost pulley and went back on the dyno to let the bald eagles fly. New blet the whole 9 yards. To our surprise and disappointment we mad 1/2 pound boost more and 10 HP.🤣 we believe when I stripped the rotors it greatly reduced the efficiency of the blower. I...

    From all the abuse the steering have seen over the years it was time to give it some love. The chassis side where the swingers mount were slightly wore out so I decided to go up in size. Had to get creative and use and extension to drill them out and come back in with a reamer. The heims have...

    Really lacking keeping this up to date. Lots has been going on and trying to keep my head on straight. I will post a recap for the BAP. We decided to machine a centerlink with uniballs. The old one had bronze bushings and I had to replace them ever 500 miles or so. So far the steering seems...

    You should be fine if you scuffed it. They make a white or gray scotch Brite that we used to use after locking the prime with a detergent to get all the grease/ oils off the panels before paining. Probably work good for base that is cured to clear. For anyone that is curious. I was told that...

    All the doors need to be replaced. I think we can save the one piece but havend decided yet what we are going to do because both mini fenders are gone. Might change cabs! I am pretty sure the cage is fine but want to go up to 2 inch so we can race the mint 400.

    I used to do body work for a living and finally got out of it. I hate all aspects of body work and paing prep. That is probably why the race truck looks the way it does. Lol Wife's truck always looked mint. Make sure to use a good sealer and a good clear. When I was in the game you were lucky if...

    BAP didn't go as planned. Either chose a bad line or I ran out of talent. Either way we had a good time. We were all OK, flipped her over and finished the race.

    Prep is in full effect for BAP. Our buddy Mayday (AKA Ryan) came over tore the front end down and we found some cracks. The center link between the swingers finally gave up the goose after 10+ years. I have been watching to upgrade this to a spherical bearing to allow better free movement. Glad...

    Let's see those Bad Lines!

    Had a little misshap in ocotillo a few months back. We were on our way to superstition and decided to stop by the train bridge on the way. When we were almost there my wife and son mentioned that they felt like water was hitting them. We were probably 20 seconds away so I decided to keep going...
