    Header extensions / torque tubes?

    Dave!! I have always lived by the old school way of learning how to make them the proper length. I used 3 1/2" x 18" "Collectors/torque tubes" whatever term is used..... I used a low temp paint and put a single coat on, took 5-6 runs and wherever the paint is burnt off to, cut them off - Mine...

    Belvidere Mopar Happening…..What a great day!

    Went to the Mopar Happening in Belvidere IL yesterday, loaded up the Demon Saturday night after a week of cleaning, polishing, detailing and getting in every nook and cranny with my Hello Kitty toothbrush! It was warm and humid, but not unbearable - unloaded the car and parked in the A-Body...

    Any benefit to 10” wheel?

    Pic for reference. 275/60-15 on 15 x 10 w/5.5” backspace. I do have the springs moved in to the frame rails. Ultimately giving a wider footprint than an 8” rim, exactly how much, I do not know. Good luck with your build! Share some pics.

    Enclosed trailer purchase!

    Thanks guys! At the most I’ll get a small 4 wheeler and I’ll bring my Generator - tool box and a couple of bins of spare parts. I called and am having the upper cabinet added, that’ll help make some room on the floor. I’ll end up building a bench with possibly a a chest of drawers and make...

    Enclosed trailer purchase!

    Thanks so much! I’ve learned Haulmark and Pace aren’t the quality they once were. I’m pretty much going off of others experience when I made my choice. Aluminum was a bit out of my $$ range, fortunately I won’t be pulling it in the snow, so I won’t need to worry about salt on the roads. I...

    Last trip to track - Nope! Coil went bad!?

    Hey all! Was going to make a last trip to the track and brave the 45-50 degree temps last weekend. Fired up the Demon, took it for a ride, gave it a good checking over and parked it Friday night. Went to fire it up and put it on the trailer Saturday - cranked it…….no fire. Did it a few...

    Im roasting in my car, ideas to cool it down.

    I used the dynamat, it honestly helps with noise dampening more than insulating from what I can feel, although the car is black with a black interior…..and I’m a little on the husky side so I sweat when it’s 60 degrees and cloudy.

    Enclosed Trailer Questions

    I’m thinking of going to the dealership nearby that sells Discovery trailers exclusively. It seems they have a 24’ with 5200# axles, basic interior and screwless for $13,700. Exact trailer in Elkhart IN w/semi screwless is $10,900. I’m 99.9% sure they’re apples to apples. The search continues……
