    I don't like the color. It's silver one shot, I ordered gold, I'm gonna go back over it i guess. Mark is on me to paint it all over, if I had the time and all of the trim I wouldn't hesitate, but I don't :rolleyes: just an old hot rod. ;)

    Billy, you're not in Hollywood!
    SS327 - that would be like Ruckus having tail gunners. No '59 Caddy lenses, please....

    Just curious, have never run an 1/8 mile or looked into. Can a guesstimate be made with the 60 foot times and 1/8mile time and have a 1/4 mile time?
    Ie is it a 14/15/16 etc second 1/4 mile car?

    Wallace racing has a calculator I just found 11.5 1/8th is around 17.9 1/4.
    My non-professional opinion thinks there should be some better times in that car.

    A lot of guys I know use those calculators to try and impress me about their POSSIBLE 1/4 mile times.:D I tell them, just because it runs a quick 1/8 mi doesn't mean it's gonna run a certain 1/4 mi. (ie), jr dragster that runs a 8 second 1/8 mi, but runs a 23.5 sec quarter. :D

    I had a 2 WD fiberglass Jeep that ran a 7.30-1/8th and 11.41-1/4, so the chart is pretty close in that case. That was 49 years ago !
