"Dummkopf"

FROSTY · 2012-10-27T09:36:38+00:00

Hi There, after trying to build a dragster last year (that's another story) I have decided to do a tube car. I have been running a 63 beetle with a quickest of 13.69sec and this is just not enough so the plan is to build a new one using the engine, box and front end with some up grades in the future. Looking round the net there are some really cool budget builds and some of these home built machines are inspiring. Over the last 3 weeks I have got it off the ground and starting to look the part. "Dummkopf" it already has a name

Heads are off and I think it might be spark plug not Firing lots of unburnt fuel and very wet, the others are dry and clean. I'm still going for a spring and pushrods upgrade.

Hey Damo, my kid is driving.... Ha ha. I only have to see the lights and the end of the track.

Dave checked out my heads today and the springs are shagged, he has something in mind that will do the job, pushrods and rocker shafts will be replaced too.

I went around to see Dave B today and he has machined my heads to take some duel springs, he also shimmed them up and supplied some super strong pushrods. (guides needed some machining down too)
