Today as I just got home from Detroit, I discuss the issues of getting Casper my 1971 Ford F100 ready for battle at the #nonamenationals I believe everything is on point but the elephant in the room is my headers… I’m having Tyler Summers at BarnBuilt Speed and Fab build my fenderwell headers to marry MIXED UP BOSS and Casper… He doesn’t have a opening until the 29th of this month so with that being said… I’m not going to have much time to test before the NNN and so @Uncle Tony’s Garage and I have decided to move our scheduled race to a later date in the fall… This race was supposed to happen over 2 years ago and since we have big money riding on this race I want to have my ducks in a row… I know Tony was hoping for me to have issues.. but like my Dad always said..never take a knife to a gun fight…

Glad I didn't buy my tickets. This was THE reason I was gonna drive 11 hours to bumfick Missouri. Oh well…
Love Motor City. EBF II loves GM Tower too. But being a Mopar Guy who drives Casper also makes you Tri-partisan too. It's all about Unity, Mr Wood….and, Like the Deed of Gift at the Americas Cup, the Challanger and the Incumbent, get to decide how they are gonna raise a Real Race. Cheers!
My block is still at the machine shop. and still gathering parts. Looking forward to seeing you and Casper @ NNN
You mentioned a Ford guy staying in the GM tower, I'm a Ford guy working at the Chrysler tech center…
Clean the windows, don't wash the truck. It's getting the priceless look. What did you tell the last person to ask.
Is that the only magnesium wheels big lug?just seems rare.
Hope you and the Wizard have got the bugs out, and years of good service on kill.
Can't wait
Well hopefully the Uncle Tony race will be at a place I can make it to.
That's right, Andy. Outperforming your opponent is way better than losing to attrition. Bring a proven piece into battle for the $$$$$!
Plum down, looking forward to Casper v Bottle Rocket…
Major event on You Tube…
Really looking forward to seeing Casper at the track. I'm kinda confused about the race against Tony. Brian Cabral posted two days ago that Mr wills dying breed garage told him that bottle rocket won't be at the nonamenationals because he's having problems with the new transmission or he can't make it that day. Pick one. I'm going with the fact that both of you are gonna need more time to get Casper and bottle rocket dialed in.
Tony is going down all talk and no walk
Ford Guy , staying in the GM Tower , Dr Chrysler here , How did it all Start ?
Either way, what an awesome truck!
Good to hear you're still going to be there! Yeah, definitely was looking forward to the race, but looking forward to meet you & DV. By any chance, will you guys be putting on any kind of tech seminar or something?
This is cool I'm a ford guy and I want to see Casper win but I'm also rooting for Tony's little 318
Kidding me? I wanna see his junk break hahahaha. He's yet to have someone build anything for him that hasn't broken. Or let alone the garbage he has built for others.
I'm dying to see his karma catch up.
He's a content leech and all talk and likes to lean on shit and talk and get nothing done and spread bad info about things hahahahahaha.
Ford man here also.
Best of luck at the NNN.
GO CASPER!!!
Curious what a set of custom headers should costs a man. Any input?
I am a pipefitter welder by trade I will build your headers for you.
I have built lots of headers
Hi Andy, this is my first time ever on your channel. I've been watching UT for years now and I raced Mopar, but, you seem like a friendly down to earth guy that's just trying to survive like the rest of us. Subscribed!
I think Casper has this one in the bag. IMO, half the race is making the race that was agreed upon when the bet was made. If you can’t get your car ready in time for the race then you lose. Was there a reason why UTG couldn’t make the race? I have never seen a drag race event stopped or cancelled because one of the racers couldn’t get their car ready. Andy you are a great guy and great sport. Both guys should be treated fairly. Andy, I don’t think you get enough credit for building a great engine and having it ready for the NNN. Too much slack has been given to UTG for not having is car ready. A true drag racer would give you the Money for not living up to the bet and then ask you if you would still like to race. Give you the option to turn it down and say, let’s race when you are ready. That was not done here. Real weak on UTG’s part. Just saying, telling you he won’t be ready for the race and not give an option, it not a real drag racer and goes against the unwritten code of drag racers.
GO CASPER!!
Since you're getting custom headers built, have you considered a 4-2-1 collector design to aid in additional torque production / less cylinder-2-cylidner cross talk??? From the Dyno video, it seems you'd benefit from a 4-2-1 based on the engines operating range, as well as it having a bit more signal to the tunnel ram.
You can make it happen
Honestly that hood scoop is all ya need in life.
Call up Jon Kasse, I bet he has an engine ready to go.
NNN Your about to get another 5 grand for Casper
Good call to push the race back. Your gunna need a few test days to dial her in for sure. Looking forward to seeing her run!
Are you going to get Tyler to build some of DVs unequal length 4 into 1 headers for Casper, Andy?
This will be the greatest competition since Ali/Foreman!
O god your totally gapping the noreon tony…I've seen your truck run even drove my scamp down to Shadyside for a footbrake bracket race from Ohio and I dont think tony has even went 8.0s in the 1/8 before. It's like why build a 318 when you can build a 360..shits annoying yea 318 great in your fifth Avenue but not in your race car or whatever he calls that thing…..I'm a mopar guy and I want you to win says somthing
Its Still confusing that you have built this new exotic engine. Your old 393 is still quicker than UT. You could have thrown together on old 351 Windsor, throw on some nos and you would still be quicker than the lil old teen. Should have gone the cheap way….down and dirty, with no excuses. Oh well.
Very cool! Good video Brotha!
Nothing left to do but get started!
I got $500 on Casper…anyone?
You need to. Get rid of that 4 cilnder transmission. And call c. ROSSLER for. A turbo 400 with a brake. F.F.S.
Good luck getting ready Andy, Take out the bottle rocket
Open headers make a lot more power?
