Now that we have our own section for drag racing, I'll move the updates over here.

I got the chassis back from being sandblasted and powder coated today.

Well, since I am waiting on some parts to finish the funny car, I started cleaning up some of the parts off the dragster. I am not going overboard on buffing and polishing, this car will be raced afterall. :mrgreen: Here is some of the rear end and a quick trial fit.

I do need to replace the chains, so if anyone has a good source for that, or knows what the chain size is, I would appreciate it.

The BRP Dragser fronts are perfect. They match up almost exact with what comes stock from Pacesetter. The funny car fronts are way too big. Even for a funny car, I would use the dragster fronts.

Couple small updates.

I cleaned the engine up, and repainted the muffler with hi temp paint. I put it in for now to measure up linkages and fuel lines.

I installed the throttle and brake servos. I did find that the steering rod would not fit correctly, so I had to invert the one servo. No big deal, as I had some aluminum stand offs laying around. When compared to my other car, you can see the difference in the clearance, almost double between the servo mounting plate and the cross bar.

Progress

I built the electronics box that houses the battery, receiver, and also put the parachute servo coming out the side. On top I put the on/off switch and charging jacks.

Also, I got a new fuel tank, got the fuel lines put on.

I have all the electronics wired up and radio set up done.

I'm not 100% set on how I am going to route the linkages, but this is plan A so far.

At this point, if I have time, I could try and fire it up this weekend.
