'58 F100 drag truck, or: thumbing your nose at aerodynamics!

DirtyThirty, That stance is Spot-on not too high just Damn right!

Nick.

 

Your truck looks and sounds awesome! The stance looks great, too.

 

Well...I'll post up the last of the suspension pics, and I s'pose...thats history, until we get into some tuning/timeslips.
Thanks for all/any interest...We'll paint it someday! Not soon....
It WILL have two thinkgs on it today, however on the Ave. cruise:

1. "Melini Bros." decal on window....I NEVER, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NEVER could have built this, this quickly, or this well, without the combined knowledge/help of Kenny Testa, and his staff, as well as Jeff Mazzoni, from Mazzoni racing and all my chapter guys, too...
2. And, of course......
A Road Devils plaque.

This is it for this thread, and this build, esentially...
As far tuning/handling/running, and the final #'s, we'll be going on with that for a long, LONG while...
But, for now, the build: Is Done.

If I ever get the ambition to REALLY paint it nice, I'll do one on that, too.

Couple shots of the final rear suspension...

Couldn't find 90/10's with double-post ends, so, we cut some eye-mounts down, and welded plates on the bottom, and drilled holes to bolt them through the old bottom mount hole...

DRIVESHAFT!!! Hellz yeah....

 

Thats all folks....

See ya' in Vineland today.

 

I'll be watching for those timing slips.

We hope to have the new engine in the "Flyin' Yellow Brick" for the July meet @ El Mirage. We want to do at least one dyno session before that run, I'll try to post some video.

 

Nice!

 

DirtyThirty, That is ****in' MEAN lookin', and I mean that in a GOOD way!

Nick.

 

Holy frijoles man, thats just TOOOO ****in *****in man!! I wanna g***erize mine now!

 

Thats awsome...

 

Definately! Love to see some more vids....Keep the "Yellow Brick" A-flyin!
We should have some fistfuls of paper REAL soon, then, off to Mel's Motor Speedway in July...I think we might just be through the looking gl*** now...
Yesterday she was very well behaved, but a leaking rear wheel cylinder kept me from driving her farther than up the block to the "cruise"...

 

Looks awesome!!

Might as well put it here, too, I suppose, for the thread subscribers.

DirtyThirty, That sounds ****in' AWESOME!

Nick.

 

I love it! that thing is the best!

 

Your my hero, ya drunk *******!

 

Nice one!!

 

dear sweet jesus....cooked them slicks quite nice! finally the moment you have waited for DirtyThirty!!

 

Everytime I think I know what I'm going to do with my old '59 some one comes along and screws up my thinking again... very cool forgotten Ford...

 

No **** dude! I just got a 460 from my uncle for the princely sum of FREE. I didn't really inspect all the stuff that came with it until I got home. I pulled out the crank spacer and the damn thing had chunks missing from it. Seems to be the only thing damaged though.

 

Im adding this truck to my "if it was a girl I would **** it" file. Seems the file is getting pretty big nowadays. This thing is bad *** man ....mmmmmmmmmmmm (old man pedifile voice from Family Guy)
