Pete..Hotdog would certainly be appropriate but I couldn't destroy all the hand painted signage that a good mate did
some19 years ago.The signage is still in pristine order. The majority of signwriting these days is computerised vynil cut out.
HOUNDOG...trivia. Was named such as it had its head down,backside up,tail out & was a bitch of a thing to hang onto.
ps Dave....HOTDOG???? what have you putting in your patty cakes ????

I haven't made a lot of headway in the last 12 months.Bought a lot of parts in the States last year and have fitted/modified where most are going.Pulled the heads from the engine to fit the new Pro Series ones,and found the cylinders were U/S,so decided to strip the engine fully.Found the case needs line boring and the joining faces need machining.I will now buy a new Turbo grind camshaft and a new set of Pauter pistons and cylinders.Have cc'd the heads tonight and the chambers are 50cc.I bought 4 new Drag Slicks from the States in May and they have turned up,so have fitted the fronts,but have the rear rims away being polished.I have fitted the race seat and the belts,dry sump tank,front beam narrowed with adjusters,steering box overhauled,new king and link pins and bushes,dropped spindles,steering wheel quick release etc.I am using a standard VW auto gear shifter,but have modified it so that it won't go from "D" to "N" without lifting the lever- just so I can't accidently slip it into neutral.I am just finishing a VW type engine stand,so will be starting on the Auto Trans rebuild/modifications in the next few weeks.I have all the gear to rebuild the diffmyself,but I am sending the Auto to a Trans bloke.I have found a better body to use,and have started to cut some of the rust out,but have decided to get the rust and metal work done by a panel bloke ,and I will paint it.I just don't have the time any more to do it all-hence the slow progress.
I thought I'd push this back up to top , More pic's thanks .
Anyone else ! looking at building a car or drag racing with hot streeter ?
How about the split ute at vw nationals this year with the cool weld wheels ?
