Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

Is it converted to EFI?

 

I don’t think so. I remember him telling me about working with Hilborn to get it all set up. But, I’m thinking it may still be mechanical.

 

Injection is nice.

 

Good article

But I’d…

 

Oh I'm not gonna run it. It looks cool as hell, but I could never see it working for my needs without spending even more money. I'm gonna sell it all. I have a box of parts that came with it, belts, pump, drive, jets, etc. My buddy ran it on a drag setup years ago. I dropped good money on my carburetor, supposedly set up for my car as I had to call them and answer a bunch of questions.

 

You do any holes shots yet?

 

ATM has very good customer support which is why I have a pair of their 850s set up for E85. While I would like to run mechanical injection, it is a royal PITA to get it to work right for both street and strip driving and you need to continually retune it. I looked into it for one of the boats and opted not to go there for that reason. This is probably why the E in fuel injection is so popular a**** certain people.

 

Yeah my buddy runs an ATM E85 on one of his trucks. He, and another buddy, swear by them. The enderle is on its way to lumpy.

 

The snow just melted off the hood of my car lol

 

So, what are you waiting for?

 

Tmrw. 55⁰ and sunshine. Gonna drive the wagon back to the shop and commence on the body work.

 

I can’t wait to see the progress!! Your ideas are amazing!

 

I have 3 air hoses and multiple air files, bring your *** down lol

 

I wanted to come down tomorrow, but it just didn’t work out. Trust me, I’ll be down there as soon as I can!!!

 

Wish I could be there to help and learn this body work magic. I have two more cars to do for myself.

 

Lloyd is one hell of a great teacher!!

 

I'm always open to learning. The body work is something different than the mechanical side. Seems like my greasy hand just had a problem getting a handle on it.

 

You should be well versed in upholstery now lol

 

I now know how a seat comes apart, but there is no way I could ever make a seat cover the way you do! You are an artist!

 

@Lloyd's paint & gl***,

You about to change your username to "Lloyd's hot rod paint & gl*** & upholstery"?

 

Lol nah, I don't get much upholstery work. I don't do boats or late model stuff, and apparently my pricing is too high on the stuff I do. But I can't work for free. I'm still cheaper than the next closest upholstery shop.

 

Your not to expensive you just have the wrong customers. They are looking for value and you are selling quality.

 

Like the old old saying goes:

Good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good.

 

New 750 ATM double pumper, I'm impressed. Also raised the rear of the car an inch.

 

Looks great, Happy New year Big guy.

 

Happy New Year Brother!

It's still ain't enough though. LMAO!!

 

I like the raised look. The carb looks awesome, I can’t wait for a ride!

 

Great news, Lloyd!
Did you make sure the throttle blades open all the way?
