Hi everyone my name is chuck but everybody calls me hooks because I'm an upper double amputee, I am starting this thread to show my 72 duster drag car I'm trying to build, I've been racing a friends car for the past 4 years and want my own car lol
now for the car, its a 72 that I have fully gutted and putting a cage in I've been working on it and buying parts for the past 2 years, I had a 400 block machined and a steel 440 crank machined and everything ready to build a 451 but someone else decided to steal everything so now I have find this stuff again, cops can't get any leads so its gone I guess :banghead: anyway I've started back doing the body work till I can save up money for a motor again. sometime in the future I'll show u some pics of me racing it but for now it'll be pics of body work and cage install maybe rear work.

Welcome to the site! Can't wait to see more pics. Its nice to see you havent let lifes hardships bring you down and your able to do what you love. This is inspiring. Keep up the good work.
 
That sucks about the engine... The bastages will get what they deserve..

Hey hooks! Welcome aboard,and really sucks about your engine parts. People suck...

I've got M.S,and somebody stole my snowblower back in
Nov,just so I wouldnt be able to shovel out. I know how you feel. Hopefully Karma will pull through for you and your car will get done,plus the thieves will suffer if there is any justice.THIEVES SUCK and deserve zero clemency.

There are still lot's of 400's left. You should be able to get a replacement.
 
I HATE thieves!!!!! had someone break into my shed a few years ago and make off with a bunch of new tool's
and I bet they stole your block and crank for scrap !

Welcome! You just motivated me to get back out to my driveway, and push on with my project, so I'm doing that once I send this reply. I'll be following your build, for sure.
