NCH Valve Cover Races

[Chauncey]

Heck yeah.  Maybe instead of going to see cars people will go to battle valve cover racers.  Can't afford to build a big ass gnarly drag car?     Save money and get braggin' rights on the valve cover track. 

That'd be hilarious if we got invited to another show to bring our racers.  Definitely not providing the track, tho, unless there's some hefty rental fee included.

we gotta get a picture of the winners car and trophy! 

[Chauncey]

So you mean a picture of Dan's car then, right? 

[Chauncey]

Man, really can't wait for next year's already.  We really should host a "private" party or something for members only before the summer's over.  Maybe a couple more people could whip together a car or two, and the ones who already have them could either make another or make their current one meet the requirements...

I'm frickin' stoked to get started on some more.  Picked up 3 different toy cars yesterday while out on the town during the Cambridge city-wide sale, all to just tear them apart and use their cool wheels.  Gonna make for some bad ass looking VCR's if I can make things happen.

Why make a VCR.. why not a Blu Ray player thingy  ha!

Wowzers...

I got 2 of 3 toy cars I bought on Saturday completely torn apart and all of the necessary pieces sourced from them this afternoon.  Got 2 kick  sets of wheels for something in the future.  One from a Nascar toy and the other from a Grave Digger monster truck.  Should make for some good times.

The 3rd "toy" is a 1/5 scale Chrysler 300C r/c car.  It's HUGE!  12" wide, about 31" long.  It's a "Dropstars" version so it's got LED lights all over it (headlights, tail lights, blinkers, GROUND EFFECTS) plus it's got some wicked chrome wheels, aka DUBS, haha, that are at least 5" in diameter.  Saw it from the road and the first thing I thought of was robbing the wheels off of it for a VCR.  Long story short, the car still works.  Awesomely.  Thing's got ground effect lighting while you drive, blinkers flash when you turn it.  Best part is it's got a headphone jack in the truck (which opens) and a slot for a portable cd player to go into (or in my case, iPod) and it plays the music through two speakers in the bottom of the car.  This thing's frickin' rad.  I think the gears in the back that drive the wheels are loose or something, tho.  It'll drive fine for a few feet and then slowly stop.  You can hear the motors whining in there but they're not engaging.  Gonna pop the top off and see if I can't rectify the issue.  Needless to say, I don't think I'll be butchering this apart in favor of a valve cover.  Well, unless I can find one to just slip on top like I did my monster truck.

BUILD IT AND THEY(who ever they are?) WILL COME

hey chaunce what you think of the dubs on the ranger

[Chauncey]

I'd have to see it again.    Honestly was more focused on the sweet sound I heard coming from the beast.  Get yourself a set of Cragar SS's on that thing.  

[tink]

after randy had two sets of cragers and keystones i get bored by them otherwise i would have a set on there

[Chauncey]

I'm guessing I'm probably the only one around here that's still in the mood/mode to build some VCR stuff.  Spent a couple hours tonight tearing some vehicles down to get the "good" parts off, then tossed all the left over crap.  Got the dubs off the 300C as well, and they're frickin' awesome.  And HUGE!  Word on the skreets is that Pchop and I will be teaming up to build the "Donk of Donks".    Gonna be called Ri-DONK-ulous.   

Here's a little sample for y'all.  One of the rims sitting next to a 25' Fat Max...



It's on like DONKey Kong.
