Thanks! I plan on polishing my side walls. Starting with the inside first, just in case! I have a feeling the outer sidewall is ground in case you...
Got them mounted. A guy at the tire store has a drag Nova. Gave him the old slicks. Stabbed one on. I like it!![ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Just got my new Towel City Cheaters. Very cool. Now to get them mounted.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
New Towel City Cheater slicks arrive tomorrow. Right door is almost ready to hang. Latch and handle were a challenge. Had to install a 1/2"x1/2"...
Ordered the custom grooving, love the look. Tried to convince myself to get different tires. The cheater slick look is for me. 1000x15, 29.5...
I could tell just by talking to them. Honest straight forward answers. Plus they won't run my credit card until they are ready to ship. Besides I...
Update, didn't do so good on grooving the Radirs. My wife stepped in. No illegal drag only slicks. OK, ordered two 1000x15, 29.5" Towel City...
Went around turning the tire myself. Didn't like the way the groove came out. So next try will be the 1/2" blade between two clamps and my wife...
I have holes around both tires. They are a certain depth. When the holes disappear from loss of tread, it's time for a new set tires soon. That's...
Tried a small section. Went like butter, speed is the main thing. Now it's time for the long cuts. My wife agreed to turn the tire. Smell wasn't...
I doubt seriously my coupe will ever see snow while I own her! That would be fun but messy!
Two fans and a Idaho breeze! Thanks for the info! I'm sure my wife won't like it!!!!
That's what my wife is doing!!! See more tomorrow!!
Finally getting back on the coupe. Had more generator issues. Had to replace the field coils, all is well now. Here's my idea for grooving the...
Shrink tubing first, rivets next. No glue needed! Works great! .[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That did the trick!! Love the adjustability, second time set it right in, plus I am going to add another ground to the regulator case for extra...
Got my voltage regulator today. Two days late, USPS delayed. Kinda fun opening a piece of the past. Pulled the string and popped the top. The...
It doesn't matter what gaskets and sealant you choose, I built my SBC, put heat into her, drove it awhile. Just for fun I put a torque wrench on...
Getting ready to groove the slicks. But I made a find in the voltage regulator issue. Seems the D618 has been the issue, it is the newer version,...
Good to know, I will try that. I did it on the white wall side too. Only problem is the inside of some of the letters were white? Surprise,...
Well got the DA out and gave it a try! Any comments? Zoom in! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks, it was a challenge, but I seem to enjoy that stuff. Wait till you see my latches!!!
Ok back to the coupe! Installed the front stainless spreader bar. Nice addition. Hood hinges are ready to align and bolt on. Latches and receiver...
Radir dragslicks 10.00x15
They aren't cheater slicks either, true dragslicks. I plan on sanding off the warnings and groove them and go. How's that for a pair? Zoom in on...
I tried out, looked wrong with black walls on the front. I am going to groove the slicks and remove the not for highway warnings! You know what, I...
Five bucks says they are made in China. My new American Racing Torq Thrust were made there. Maybe China Racing Torq Thrusts would be more...
Bad news, won't get them till May. Talked to the guy at Diamond back, he confirmed that they won't get them till the end of April! Oh well, lots...
Ordered the wheels and tires. Will post pics when installed. Can't wait!!!
Agreed, keeping the slicks and getting a set of 7" Torq Thrust and the Auburn Diamondback Deluxe 1000-15-15 tires. So it will depend on my mood...
