Projects '62 Ford Unibody LSR Truck

Good luck!!

 

Tim, after you run 155 could you be a little more explicit about the "pin hole" repairs that were repaired by spit and chewing gum.

Run fast and be safe and get back to describing the repairs when you get back.

Everything went well at El Mirage this weekend, although it was very COLD! Truck ran great but just couldn't hook up at the top end. Still ran a best of 142.5 mph, one mile faster than last month. Tried some different things today that didn't work out, I think I leaned the carb. a bit to much and I know now that "short shifting" is not going to work for me. All in all we had a good time! Fun with friends is always best.

Made aother run of 142.2 that felt like it could have been a bit faster if not for loose dirt at the end of the course. We'll get our ducks in a row for next May.

 

Congrates Tim, As long as your going faster all is good Tim Jones

 

Keep on truckin Timmer!!!

 

Just an awesome build! Go "Y" GO!!!

 

Well done Tim, Y blocks rock!

 

As long as each run gets faster............thats progress

Great shot by Holly Martin

 

I like that last shot.

 

I like the sound of the Y block in third gear. How many RPM's?

 

Great Video and great pics Tim ............

 

Don, I run it up all the way to 7k, tried short shifting once to see if it would pull on up but that was a bad idea. Only got 5500 in fourth and 133 mph. Wont do that again, it's gotta come in as high as possable in fourth.

 

Got a little press down under! Thank you to Geoff (HotRodDude) for sending the mag all the way to my door.





Buddy, Dale and the Flat Cad boys got a nice write up too.

Tim;that is SO KOOL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ROY.

 

Congrats Timmer, great write up ..........

 

Does this mean I am now part of Tim's Entourage???
Am I now the Oreo supplier???

And as for getting a copy, you can check with Autobook/Aerobooks in Burbank CA, they are great people and will gladly ship, even to the Black Hills of South Dakota!

 

Ya and my RPU is being powered by one of Tim's engines

How cool is that ?

 

I think that allows you to.collect royalties!

Hey, great to see you got the mag man! Merry Christmas all you guys!! Keep safe. -H.R.D-

 

Oh yeah, that auto- aero bookshop in Burbank rocks, they have everything, I spent a $hitload of money in there, they should have Cruzin magazine!

 

That story was written by a hamb member, and there's also a story on another hamb member in there too!

 

Is this the one you are talking about or is there another?

 

Here's a short interview from back in May.
