Finally GB pics in the Light......

Ok I took some pictures that may give a little better light on the Green Bean Dark secret.
Also what would cause the front to bounce and have speed wobbles at higher speeds? I think the tires may not have been balenced when mounted or the are so damn old there like riding on rocks?

I guess its time to drive it..work out the bugs then get started on the body work..YUK!!!

 

SWEEEEEEET....*best Dodge commercial imitation*

 

Those cheater slicks look just right. How loud are the piss-off pipes, Mikey?

Good on ya! When you comin' fishin'?

 

"MIKE" please...........They sound ****ing sweet..loud and proud. makes that little 305 rumble

 

You no likey Mikey?

Its hard to believe it wasn't that long ago that you showed me the pic of your vision. Nice job, MIKE!

 

Check your camber in the frt. axle... Regret was bouncing around last year so we took some camber out and it solved the problem....

Looking good man

 

Mike, the front tires are used?
So were mine, remember the problems I had?
Bias plys get flat spots really easy just from sitting and they become useless even though they're rot free and have lots of tread left.
Bring her up at happy hour and we'll do some camber check and toe in stuff first.

I can't wait to see her in the light, she looks *****ing man, not at all Floridian, well just a bit. The smoothies are something we can't help.

 

Ill see you around 530-6 beers and Camber cant be all that bad....Now it dosnt do it all the time...around 50mph....then next time nothing??

well see Im sure its way out

 

where did you get those flared pipes you made the headers out of????

 

Ill tell ya the truth on that one my friend....I didnt make them!!!! I bought them off the words largest swap meet
THE BAY!!!!
look like bellflower tips huh

 

Looks good Mike! Crank the White Snake and hit the road!!

Mike them biased plys have flat spots. Throw some spare radials on it for a test cruise. I had the same problem a while back. 45mph and speedwobbles/vibration...

 

I'm having a similar problem with my roadster. I had the tires balanced off the car, but still had the speed wobble. The next step is this: Have tires shaved round, I have Coker tires and apparently they aren't exactly round; then I'm getting them balanced on the car. If this doesn't do it, I understand that too much caster angle will cause this to happen as well. As mine sits now I have 7° caster I've been told 3-4° is ideal. This is the shopping cart high speed wobble effect.

A word of caution...check out the rest of your chasis bolt on pieces and parts as this wekend coming home from Paso I shook a few things loose with my speed wobbles.

Damn shame your selling it, sure does look nice.

He is CORRECT too much caster is will cause the shopping cart wobble effect - Tire balance issue is typically around 55 - 70 mph and caster will not "plane out". You maybe able to get some adjustment in the heim jts.

 

Got to have the proper stance and tires to run right.
No matter how many Mosquitos ya swat you keep getting bit!

 

Well I just took it down to a buddys shop and had the tires balenced...He said they were WAYYYYYYYYYY out of balence. Im hoping that will be a fix all??? Also I mentioned the high speed wobble..it was at over 50 and my little plastic fan seems to have been shattered.
back to the speedshop for another one

 

The smile per mile ratio looks high. Great looking hot rod!

You're staring to sound like... nevermind

Anyway, you're little roadster looks great, Mike!

I bet it's pretty quick!

Thanks for sharing!
