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

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.
Regards Sean

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

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.

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
