Mightyraze's "Sasquatch II" [2017 Build-Off Entry] [Finalist]

Slow night tonight in the forums!

Got the Axle off and cleaned up, re-welded and painted. Right now I am waiting for paint to dry!



I had an audience!

Hahaha, those dogs in the window. Cheering ya on! Hopefully you get 'er back together for good this time mighty, then you can go back to ripping up the streets!

My dogs do the same thing, LOL.

Look-y Look-y!!!!

Took it out for a few laps. About scared me to death, I put it in 2 and launched out of the garage. LOL Popped another wheelie. All good this time! Oh yeah!

Nice mighty! Good to see 'er ready to roll once again.

Happy to have it rolling again. Engine still purrs... Yay, i did do some revving tonight to see if I could throw some flames. nope. i guess i have it dialed in too well.

One more fine touch!

all fixed up and extra bling, nice work, those dice should add about 3 hp from memory.

Extra 3.5 HP to be exact! LOL

Quite a wreck there mighty! Lucky the paint(and you) are still ok! At least you didnt peel your trans open when you popped the clutch lol. Might try turning up the amperage on the welder next time? Lol. It's cool to see the wheelie bars put to use!

AGH! There is a scuff on the font where the tire hit the front clip when it fell off. Guess it is time to repaint.



LOL, black sharpie to the rescue! HAHAHA

I plan to start my FINAL completion video this weekend.  Hope to have it ready soon after that!

I changed the angle of my wheelie bars. I should only get about 5 inches of lift now instead of 30 lol.






PS:. I did this post from my phone no issues including uploading pictures in classic mode.

Looks sweet! I like the painted squatch on the front. Are you a believer in them?

Actually it is a Decal I made. I don't know. I do believe there are "unexplained" things that happen.

Cross your fingers that my video stuff works as hoped!

also.... 1500, i am on your heels @alliskidd21 !

Well that sux. I was going to try for a treat for you guys but it did not work out. I emailed the local drag strip to see if I could come and take pix/video of the tractor there. They said, anytime on non race days (m-thr) and sunday. But just don't get on the track.

That kind of defeats what I was looking for. I understand, but thow a dog a bone! LOL. I'll just do normal filming on the block.

It would've been cool to see the Squatch flying down the 1/4 mile haha. Wonder why they wouldn't let you on the track? Maybe a liability thing? They possibly could've seen your wreck with the front end and thought "Watch out for this guy!" Hahahaha.

They probably didn't want me to mess up the track. They prep it. Also NHRA is coming in in a few weeks. It would have been sweet. Too bad the track my dad raced on went away and became a housing addition. That would have been 8 miles away.

I'm done. I put it away tonight. I have a final video uploading. I'll get that posted tomorrow morning. It will be nice to step back and watch this thing unfold. Good to take a break and do a few minor things to Red that has gone by the wayside.

COMPLETE!

I'd be driving that thing to the store, LOL. Cops worry mostly about drivers seeing you, with all those lights they can't miss ya and it should be street legal. But then again, a trailer full of beer, something might be said, LOL. Awesome build!!!

Thanks man!

It's been a while since I had the Squatch out. Got it out and took it for a stroll today. Still running good!

Took the Squatch for a Halloween ride this afternoon. About froze my ears off. Don' realize how cold 48 is until you start moving along over 20mph. Took some boring video. Maybe have it up later tonight. I do know I forgot to hit start on the camera so it will probably start half way through the ride.

Less than 3 days left.  Just a reminder the Sasquatch II Gasser hot rod is complete!

If you like the build, shoot me a vote!
