Hobbs Camaro (Old Drag Car)

Starting to pull it back apart to paint some of the parts.

Mounted the Dakota Digital modules.

Hey Mark,

Is the engine in the stock location or is it setback? Also what engine mounts are you using?

Thanks.

We used the Holley mounts. It is in the “stockish” location. Not as far back as some of the other cars. A little farther forward to make it easier for wiring and bellhousing bolts.

We have used this template since 2002. I’ve lost track of how many time Matt or myself have used it. If it isn’t broke no need to fix it.

Painting the small parts is one of my favorite tasks.

Because I know the car will see track use we added a simple roll hoop. It is for a shoulder belt system for street use and a cross bar for 6 point belts for track use.

More photos to come soon.

"It is for a shoulder belt system for street use and a cross bar for 6 point belts for track use."

So you are going to run 2 different belt systems based on use... Will both be installed at the same time OR do you plan to change over from street to track when needed?

That is the plan to have a street 3 point belt set up and a 6 point for the track. We have not designed it yet.

If it is a hassle I’ll go back to what I have always used. A 6 point set up and just wear the lap belt on the street.

I'm interested in seeing what you come up with. I've had my 69 for over 34 years and 32 were driving on the street with stock belts. Started to autocross 2 years ago and stock belts aren't enough. I still spend a lot of time on the street driving to local cruise-ins.
