LET’S BUILD A TOP FUEL DRAGSTER

[@ronhodgkinson7683]

I agree with so many others. Very glad to see you back!!!

[@robwendland]

Appreciate it!

[@Christoph_NTX]

@@robwendland You guys did great last year I’m always bringing you up when i talk to Guger. Lots of great information that would never be passed on otherwise!!

[@PaulSongas]

Thanks Rob, awesome video. You guys really hauled ass at the end of last year, I hope you come out swinging in 25!

[@robwendland]

Appreciate that! We’re ready to roll!

[@cdnbluesdriver]

I personally support getting someone to shoot and edit so that you can make more videos and I can learn more, BUT I know that there is a cost associated with that that might not make sense for you. Learning lots from the videos to incorporate into my own builds! Thanks for sharing!

[@richardmorton1310]

Love this, hope you can get it on KZbin. Love the knowledge transfer.

[@bravofoxable]

If there's something on a top fuel car that Rob does not know about, it doesn't exist. Phenomenal knowledge and experience. Great idea this Rob, well done 👍🏻 👊🏻

[@robwendland]

Great video. Love how you tell us the parts companies. This is the kind of tech video we all need to see. The in depth stuff.

[@robwendland]

Glad you enjoyed it! I like to share what I know!

[@geoffjohnson7383]

Rob, you are the man dude! A true honest to goodness crew chief that relates to everyday hot rodders like myself. You guys made a statement last season and cant wait for next. Love the videos! Thanks man.

[@zmotorsports62]

Glad to see another build series Rob. LOVED the "sectioning of a dragster" series that you did. From an ex-racer who will never have the budget to race at this level, I find it very interesting and hope you continue these videos. Thank you. Mike

[@robwendland]

Love the tech stuff. Great video, Rob!

[@clarkdoukas3477]

Very cool to see. For temp wiring, I began using velcro straps after getting tired of r&r zip ties. And, it saves some time.

[@robwendland]

Good tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@krogersucks45]

IMO your one of the top crew chiefs in fuel racing , great to see this behind the scene stuff. Keep the video's coming.

[@robwendland]

@@krogersucks45 sure appreciate it!

I remember when everything was air powered no electronics. Changing the timing with air, tons of little valves to adjust

[@robwendland]

@@ldtenenoff right on brother!

[@davidmitchell7183]

11:25 I solder all my automotive wiring also. As I used to be a computer tech, that is the habit I have developed. A lot of online "experts" will tell you that soldered joints are more prone to fracture than a crimped joint. But in the long run, crimped joints aren't reliable, imho.

[@robwendland]

@@paulmartin8212 thank you! See you in Phoenix!

[@cruizinmax01]

I love seeing behind the scenes of what all you do! Any chance that we could get a part number for the 1/4" air line? I tried to find something on Woco Engineering website and didn't have luck. All the air line I come across is only rated for 200f so it would be great having something rated higher. Or at least what to call and ask for. "I'd like some top fuel air line." 😆

[@RahmatMSTF]

Yes, You need somebody to record video. So you can focus on your build and we can learn more of your highly valuable knowledge and information.

[@williambarry8015]

Reminds me of my old job building highway stripers.

[@garyrowe58]

I love the attention to detail, and your 'idiot proofing' is so necessary... when there's shit is flying near a fan you can't think as clearly, so by taking 'thinking' out of it, you're making the right answer obvious.

[@robwendland]

Well said brother!

[@bobroberts2371]

Electrical Wire Be sure to test the wire with a magnet. Copper plated steel has been sneaking into the supply chain.

[@robwendland]

@@bobroberts2371 I’ve never thought about doing that. That’s a great idea.
