My Name is Bob Scroggins , I used to have a German Dagger Pistol and Japanese sword Collection back in the 70's and 80's I was I guess what you might call it I was a Hotel Buyer. But don't have but one old SA Dagger my cousin gave me that has been through the Mill I just purchased a Mint Army Heer dagger from a member.
I am like everybody else I would like to pick up a nice SS Dagger some day.

I will be 75 in May and I still drag race a 58 Plymouth Belvedere that turns in the 12 seconds at 110 Mph in the quarter mile and is street Legal
I have really enjoyed my time on the forum , I love it. Won't be able to buy many daggers but I sure enjoy looking at all the Nice ones you have .
Talked to a lot of nice Helpful people on the Forum.

Thanks Bob

Hi Bob i hope you find a nice SS dagger some day.
And i hope i am still drag racing at 75! good on you.

Sean

Yes Sean someday I will get a nice SS Dagger I see you are a mechanic, I have worked on cars since I was about 12 13 years old. Built my first engine at about 14. I do all my own work on my Race car, except the machine work. I have built many classic cars and race cars in my lifetime . My 58 weighs over 2 ton and runs 12 seconds with a 1.65 60 ft Lots of 440 to make it go like that running a 5000 stall Convertor

Do You drag race and how old are you if I might ask.

I have a lot of friends from the UK that is in My International Christine Car Club . Great bunch of guys

Bob

Hi Bob i'm 49 i have worked on cars all my life, my drag car is a ford escort Mk2 RS2000.
i have fitted a sierra cosworth engine into it, its running about 380 BHP with a 100 shot of NOS.
It runs 11's at about 128 MPH at santa pod raceway,it could be quicker but grip is an issue.
It too is fully street legal, ( quite a few pissed off super car owners round here Lol )
I am currently building a 2 door ford consul classic in the pro street style mainly for drag racing
Although lack of time sees very little happening with it.

With 380 hp That car Flies, I street raced back in the later 50's and 60's Was a lot of fun back then and not so dangerous, was raised I a small town and raced down every back road and even main street. My First real Race car was a 1965 GTO With a 69Judge Ram air 4 $ speed. I had a 63 Dodge Like the ram chargers turned low 10's But I love my of 58 . One bad thing here in Idaho, It is always windy and the air is usually around 5-700 ft

Bob

Sean Nice car Love those sleepers

Red,

First decide what king of SS dagger you want:

- RZM era.
- Early maker-marked.

Then consider using the "Wanted" forum to ask the guys if they have anything to sell.

Dave

Thanks Dave My Pockets are not quite deep enough right now I picked up a nice Army Dagger form the forum , just came in the mail today and I have a SA coming, Just try to pick up some of the Less expensive right now . Bob

Here are a couple of Pictures Of Redsled

That's one wicked cool ride man.... I had an old Camaro in high school I used to burn my tires out all the time just for the heck of it lol

Yea Been there done that, When I was in High school Most of my old cars had bald tires on them LOL

Bob that is one beautiful car & the film christen is also one of my favorite films of all time.
I was going to ask you to post some pics but you beat me to it.

Thanks Sean , I know the real owner of Christine He lives In Pensacola FL He calls Redsled Christine on Steroids LOL

Wow that must be worth a mint

Well Lets say if I sold it I could buy some German daggers LOL

Nooo keep the car Lol

Nice to see an engine and know what everything is VS today under the hood mystery

Yea I know that you mean, The newer cars anymore I have to look and find some of the things on them and Sometimes have to look on the PC to find out where the oil filter or some simple thing like that.;0

380 hp gotta love it !

Most cars today are 120 hp lawnmowers

Your 58 is awsome

Seany Red is running 500 HP or so, but it takes a lot of engine to move two tons LOL

Bet a cheeseburger I could take him in a 1/4 mile,

just need a 1/2 hour head start on a downhill run and 100 mph tailwind

El If we put a gallon of gas in each one of them and raced 5 miles you would win LOL I love cheeseburgers a Lot but I would Loose

480 with the gas. Lol

Your car probably weighs double what mine does

Yea Sean I have a friend that has raced a 68 Road Runner since 1969 he started cutting it up when he first bought it Made lots of people mad because they wanted on and was on the waiting list. I was talking to him a few months ago and he was running about 11 seconds and I was running about 1250's or so and I had more engine then him but he was running a lot faster My Car weighs 4120 and he said well Bob I only weigh 2600 LBS If I weighed 2600 I would be running like, well just about the same 11 seconds

It's a fine balance between weight,power & grip

Yea Sean I have all three, Get my tires warm and no spin at all
