Motion Pictures Come go for a ride!

Love it man, I see several obvious changes but I'm sure my eyes aren't working as well at 5:30 am as they might a little later, that "T" is the****s man, come take me for a ride, I can't wait any longer.

 

i heard nothing, john. Sorry. Sure enjoyed the ride. Marty

 

Beautiful coupe ,Heard the noise also .At least its not the motor ,Its something small ,Maybe a bad alternator bearing ,Check the fluid in the rear also .I definately can hear your loading up a little .But thanks for the ride .I cant wait to get as far as you .My luck on my first ride .Id probably have to push it back....

 

Just think if you had the blower on it when you blew the cop ... past the cop, would that qualify as blown squared?

 

Looking good John....really good.

 

....hey brother, that's one very cool ride.......plus I love those tunnel rams...lol.....congrats!

 

Sounds good from where I sit.

Ya might take a look at the rear brakes. Its drums on the rear right?

I've had them shake a spring loose and it sounds a lot like that.
of course you'll probably find the problem and it won't be that but it doesn't cost much to give it a look.

 

Thanks Gary! One ride coming up and soon.

 

Thanks Marty, but we discovered it was only wind noise...luckily.

 

I actually have discs on the rear porknbeaner and I appreciate your effort.Thanks carcrazyjohn,slobroy,hrm2k, and FastElvis for the kind words! Mokan is coming up real soon. I have my room now I just need my golden ticket.

 

dude i bet that thing ought to click off a 12.80 anyway! maybe ?

 

jab jab !!! i dig the way it looks "dog will hunt" bring it!

 

I'm gonna try my best man! I have baby launched it a couple of times around town and it feels goooooood, but then again I used to get excited as a kid when my Mom let me drive the Granada back and forth in the driveway!
Right now I'm boning up on carbs. I have plenty to learn, but it's fun. Anybody recommend any particular A/F meter?

12.80....aw man now your punching me in the jejunum with that one!

 

ok man! 12.50!?

 

Let's not get crazeeeeeee! I'm thinking if I make all my shifts and maintain conciousness I'll rip off a 12.70. lol
Hey man, this thing better run or I'm gonna feel really stupid!

 

12.70 pretty respectable for such an old car!! after all, we could put it in the trunk of mine and probably still get a 12.60 on the back bumper!! yea!

 

I like you car man...don't get me wrong, but it would be so much cooler if it were a '59! hee hee hee...aww that's funny....to about 3 of us.....

 

maybe we,ll duct tape your car to the front of mine and i can keep the wheels down and get a 12.50!??!!

 

maybe if you parked in front of mine,facing me,i could do a wheelie onto the top of yours and it would be a "69" and i'm sorry to offend anybody for posting on a 27 T thread! don't wack my pee pee john, after all i,m in a wheel chair!!

 

That would almost be as big a spectacle as that hearse at Day of the Drags last year! I actually kinda dug that car though cause it ran like a champ! Wasn't that big******** turning low 12's?!??

 

Let us know when you figure out that noise. I had an alternator make a noise like that once. One time, I had a bendix gear that would work it's way loose and make a "metal-on-metal" noise, like a squeal, when it was barely(but constantly) contacting the flexplate. Sounds like you don't have an automatic though. Maybe a vacuum leak somewhere? Maybe a brake clearance issue? Cool car, fun ride...

 

Thanks Adam! It's solved man...just wind noise. THANK GOD!!! Oh and it's a TKO 600 5 speed. They are clunky, but strong...so they say. Supposedly Tremec claims your not supposed to shift above 6500 rpm's...we shall see....

 

Sweet! You gotta love when it's something so simple! What a relief! Have fun with that this summer...

 

Your car is pure****, brother! I like the new equipment, but kinda preferred the "Before" stance.

I had to smile at the wind noise explanation, because when i heard the vid the first thing i thought of was carb whistle, and not metal. I just chalked it up to not actually being there.

Glad it was an easy fix/non issue. Thanks for the ride!

wind noise?? i hate it when i'm right!! that's all the world is a*****in know it all indun!! huh!

 

Big relief! It has finally become fun again. Some guys enjoy the build, not me man I'd rather drive 'em!

 

Thanks Rick! It's about as much fun as****! Feels like I have been "courting" her for the last 3 years and was beginning to wonder if the buildup was going to be worth the payoff. Well, it looks like the girl next door is a freak after all lol!
