Yes, it does jump.
The 9" was built from Mark Williams parts. The fabricator (Kit Carlisle and friends) did the flanges just to see if it would work. They are...
I forgot to ad that the Dorman Koopman roadster was the incentive for the Beast.
Thanks, Billy. Dyno run while it was down for paint was 750HP and 650 torque. A handful at 2400lb.
A few changes to The Beast since last post. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sweet
Get that nose up in the air!
Very nice. To your point, there is a lot to be learned as far as motor position. I wanted the gasser look....and got it. BUT, with a rake of 8*...
Here is my Roadster
Our contribution to the Hemi's that showed. Had a great time, as always.
My roadster has a nose up view.
Never mind, Racer. I spoke with Rich and now know they show up to him as slicks and he cuts them as ordered. Thanks. Mike
Racer, The cheaters are already grooved, right? So after Rick cut two more, you are running four? Didn't know he had the ability to cut grooves,...
Thanks, Racerx for the data. That seals the deal. I spoke with Rick, and he seems like a good guy. Guess I will go with the 10" as the 12" are too...
Tyler, How do you like the M&H? Are they cheaters or full slicks? I would prefer the M&H (I think) but they look like the edges are rounded and...
I saw a couple of posts from folks running the Radir cheaters. I talked to M&H the other day about running their 12x30x15 Cheaters on 14" rims....
Now I feel like searching for some porn. Maybe if Fever would post a photo, we wouldn't need to....
I picked up some metal art this year at the LSRU. I walked around the shop for an hour trying to find a place of honor.....then I needed a beer....
Knock yourself out.
Here is how I finished the fender issue I asked about in 2010. For those who contributed, I thought you might want to see how it turned out. Used...
Thanks, it motors right along. Had a blast at the LSRU with the caps open.
Tried to post these Dorman inspired pics of my '32, but failed the first time. Thought I would give it another shot.
The Dorman/Koopman was the inspiration for my '32. Finished last year in time for the LSRU, and worked out some bugs in time to make it again last...
One more view of the build.
Good points. A couple of issues: I should have made it clear it is a gasser STYLE, so 16.50 tires vs 7" cheaters is a good observation for...
I am building a '32 Roadster Gasser and want rear fenders. Problem is, most of the period gassers ran standard width rear ends, so even with...
Thanks to all for the exchange. Here are a couple of shots of my starting point. Got this a couple of months ago from a local gear head who put in...
Are you suggesting the girdle in ADDITION to the 4 bolt upgrade in the interior? Great looking engine in the photo, but those mains are more...
