Rocky Reports: Getting ready for the season!

Here's a photo from my cell  phone, this is from the shop as I closed up last night....as you can see we have pretty much EVERYTHING torn apart!  The Screamin Eagle funny car can be seen in the back ground, she will be the first to go out, April 9th for a Funny car show in Dinwiddie Va.. We buttoned her up last night...we'll test fire her on Wednesday night. The "Soul Survivor" Nitro Comp Coupe is getting fitted with a drive line so we can do some push starts this year. I look forward to having her at NHRR in Bowling Green.. The Boss Hydro is getting a complete new engine and some chassis work. We took out the Stage III KB combo and installed a steel 426 Hemi complete with steel heads, Hilborn PG150 pump and 6-71 blower.. The Big Time Memories 1941 Willys is being given a "New Look" too... we're doing some things to give here a more "period-correct" look. We are also searching for why we're burning up the number two intake push rod.. Not seen in the pic are two cars we're working on for friends, we're building a straight axle Pontiac "gasser" and we're also assembling the new "Frantic Ford" Mustang of George Reidnauer.... Its been a busy off season!
