Re: Performance Drag Products
Thank god this weekend was not scorching hot!! I was able to spend a lot of time on the car. I built the air cleaner using my vacuum forming machine to make the basic shape. Bonded the top and bottom together and then I cut aluminum and polished it. Really happy with how it came out!!!

Dang nice!!!
Probably the cleanest surviving example of that brand!
I wonder how Paul Songas's PDP dragster is coming along?

Re: Performance Drag Products
Hey, i have one of these dragsters! I got mine from Paul. Only hold up in the complete from the ground rebuid is to figure out how to mount my Fuji 64 to the existing motor plate and connecting a drive shaft to the Fuji 64 slick unthreaded, drilled, or tapped shaft. (open to all and any suggestions). Will post pics soon. Roger.
Re: Performance Drag Products
Hi Mike, I'am looking at the pic with the Raco gearbox. How is axle assembled it the gearbox? I see the outdrives are there.Is the solid Raco gear assembly being used .Or is the outer axle welded to the outdrives? (which I doubt) .Thanks.
Re: Performance Drag Products
We just finish rebuilding a Raco rear end for my PDP Dragster. PM me a phone number and i will be happy tell you how we did mine. Im getting ready to do two more as soon as i can get the lathe time. Roger.

Re: Performance Drag Products
its a straight axle. 1/2" stock. Only thing you need to do to convert a raco rear is the 1/2" axle, larger bearings and a ring gear with hub from a skellenger.

Re: Performance Drag Products
Thanks for the replies.I figured it would be straight axle but why keep the outdrives in place. Oh forget that question .....for the brake disks right.Thanks.
