Went down to Houston yesterday and picked this up. Should be fun. It is a Jerry Bickel chassis. Weighs 2280 with a bbc in it.

id say reinforce the frame(if it needs it) and put something that runs on #2(preferably a d-max).....well thats what i would try ......nice toy,im sure it will run like a raped ape:thumb: any specs on the engine?

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Nice dude! 2280 with a BB is light.

 

[MadMaxx61]

What's the plan for it? I'll make you a hell of a deal on a motor with low compression on one cylinder

 

[fishsmith]

It will get a small motor for bracket racing and a big motor for heads up racing. 582ci and either a 665 or 707 ci

 

[fishsmith]

What kind of deal on that motor, I have been pondering another project.

jerry makes some bad ass race cars and if you have a problem with it he will hands down be there for you 100% great buy, im jealous, i've wanted to get a jerry bickel or greg hubbard race car since i graduated from jr dragsters

 

[Bagged93gmc]

hubble not hubbard haha

We looked at several different cars from both guys and they were all top notch, especially compared to other builders.

 

[emiller3]

i know it would be a tad bit heavier but throw a d-max in it.

What are the specs on the orange car in the background?

 

[fishsmith]

68 Camaro fiberglass body, it was a full frame car but has been converted to tube. Weighs around 2600 with a bbc and a glide. ran 5.50's with a 507 but it is also getting a 588 this year. We have the front clip off of it right now but I will get some different pics tomorrow.

Got everything together in the firebird yesterday, should be able to road test it today. If everything looks good with the road test we will be going to No Problem raceway in Baton Rouge this weekend. Sorry guys that I haven't gotten any more pics of the camaro yet we still have it pulled apart.

[fishsmith]

Nice that's sweet is it a strictly 1/8 mile car or do you run it in the quarter we are in the process of hooking up the radiator in that car so we don't have to tow ole girl everytime we shut her down
