Build Notes from Dorian:
OK, so we got the front leaf springs and the straight axle under the car and mocked up, next we place the shock towers and weld everything up.

The ’63 Comet ‘Official Blogmocarcy’ Drag Car build continues!
Build Notes from Dorian:
“Well the factory stock rear-end is now out, the gas tank is out and the trunk has been cut out. The material for the tube chassy A frame for the rear-end has been cut and measured. Next we will weld up the rear-end A-frame and tie the rear-end A-frame to the rest of the tube chassy, add ladder bars and shock tower mounts.
Then it was time to take my seven year old nephew around the track in my little toy for a few hours.”
Captain Oblivious Rides Again

A high-speed drag race. A faulty hood latch. The driver’s view is blocked, and the gaping maw of certain death opens to quench its eternal hunger for blood and souls.
Hurtling through the space-time continuum, warping the laws of physics, a hero arrives in the nick of time.
In possession of unlimited mental powers yet untested, Captain Oblivious wrests the will of the power steering from the speeding vehicle. He laughs in the face of danger. “Ha, ha, ha,” muses Our Hero, as he maneuvers the machine away from peril and toward the relative safety of the raceway’s emergency sand trap.
Unbeknownst to Our Hero, the driver has already panicked. The driver screams as he jams on the brake pedal with both feet, and Captain Oblivious is thrown off at high velocity. Like a watermelon seed pinched between forefinger and thumb, Captain Oblivious is spit from the universe at the speed of whatever. The car slides to a safe stop in the sand.
With his mind swept clean of the memory of recent events, Captain Oblivious finds himself squatting naked in the vapor-ridden 10th dimension, fuzzily pondering The Overnight Open Thread.
