You won't see too many at the dragstrip that doesn't like the name probably.
Right?
What kind of car is this actually?
It's a Renault.
A Renault?
A 34 Renault.
Wow, so how did you come across this car?
It was sitting at the Red Neck Rumble in Lebanon, Tennessee, and I was down there selling junk
and he unloaded it, and I thought that's a pretty cool old piece, he still had it the
day the swap meet was over so we made a deal on it.
Did you do all of the work yourself?
What I had to do, it was all cut up, had to come home and make my own home just for the
body just to get the doors lined back up, squared up the way that I wanted it, then
I had to set it up on my Jeg table and start building the 2X3 frame rail, then I put the
roll cage in, then did the interior last.
Of course, I powder coated the chassis so every nut and bolt had to be welded on first.
I build my own shocks for it because that's just what I had sitting around.
There's no show about it, the drag radials, they don't have any smoke about them, it doesn't
pull the wheels, it's kind of a yawn fest really.
It squats and goes.
Nice, what are you running right now?
6.64 was the first pass today.
One of my buddies has got a blower motor, I want to put it in here.
Oh, well that helps a lot.
That's the sad part, it's not going to stop there, alright we got the blower motor, now
we've got to spend $2500 on a power glide transmission, oh now we can't get traction,
we got to get wider wheels and wider tires on it, it's never-ending.
It snowballs, yeah.
It needs to stay right where it's at is what it needs to do.
Have a little fun with it you know.
I bet it sounds good too.
It doesn't sound bad.
The car is a lot better than the driver is right now.
But I don't know if I ever wreck it.
It did have a front bumper on it and I need to put one because if you ever destroy that
grill, and the hood was mint on it, I couldn't cut the hood up because I didn't want any
sides on it just to show off the injection I guess.
Yeah, you wouldn't be getting another grill if something were to happen to that one?
You never would find one.
Not here.
I've Googled them and I have yet to find one on a Google search that isn't stock or overseas.
You can find some stuff on eBay, but I don't know what the conversion is on the money so
I stay away from it all.
Deplorable.
Ole' Deplorable.
