Keep the reports coming - on Jr dragsters too!

IMHO, getting the kids involved is invaluable and will create life long memories. Building the car is a process, just like anything in life.

Looking great!

So, found some of the latest pics - making progress. We usually make about 1 large order of parts per year, just received this year's order and our goal is to fire the engine sometime this year. That's a tall order given what you see in these pics! But, nothing ventured, nothing gained. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

No frame!



Clean frame! Lots of undercoating on this car, kept the frame really nice. Can still see the forming marks on it from the factory:



Lots of green overspray on this car - from front to back, sometimes all the way into the driveshaft tunnel:





Kids sure grow fast! Remember this little guy? Age 4:



Now age 10:





Taking his time, no runs, nice, even coverage:



Nice job Ben!



Sometimes it's easy to forget that he's just 10 - and when he gets cold and wants to play video games he'll just hide out in the car! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] You can barely see his head as he's shrunken down in the front seat:

Well, another year - and unfortunately the car doesn't look much different! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] However, we have more parts stashed and Ben learned how to weld this past weekend. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] We plan to paint the frame, firewall and underside with single stage black with flattener, and then spray the rally green overspray. Then hope to install the frame and then the engine / trans.... aggressive plan since racing will start again in April!




Danny is growing too fast as well - he wants to know when we will start working on his car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]



Oh well, too much time spent on painting the golf cart this Winter - but, have to cruise in style:

Golf Cart painting this Winter. Cool.

Yep! Did the whole DP90LF, K36 high build, sealer, 4 coats of base, 4 coats of clear, wet sanded with 1500 &amp; 2000, then cut it, buffed it and polished it! Came out pretty good:





First time shooting metallic, so naturally I had to buy a new gun! (or gun kit!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



All for practice for when we shoot the Nova! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
