i was thinking about the name "Bad companY"only reason is cause the other nite i was laying in bed with my gurl after a night of partying it up and i tooted under the blankets ..after not saying a thing for about 5 mins she finally got the wind of it and was like oh you are bad company ...and we started to crack up laughing about how fowl it was ...so i thought it was a fitting name what do you think ..
so...you going to relocate the battery to the tunk??...Im thinkn of doing on my 56 just so it easy to get to everything under it.........cars lookin good
nah im gonna leave the battery up front only reason i dont feel like running the cable under everything i want to leave from behind the seat empty except for the fuel tank ..less weight to pull around ...thanks..im trying to have this thing together very soon..
Better to put it back there...its worth more over your rear wheels. Its easy to run the cable, just go to any electric motor repair place, they should have a spool of what you need, and the connectors... Don't think of it as weight to "pull" around...think about it as weight to distribute...to put whereever it is more useful! Either way, its in the car...it can either be an advantage, or a burden... It would DEFINATELY drive me nuts being all in my face when getting those carbs plumbed, and working right, too...
got some stuff done today interior almost done one more panel and its complete ..ran some wires to the alt and the starter ...still need to install rad hoses and fuel lines ...
small update ..interior complete..trans cross memeber welded up and installed ...now i need a drive shaft .the length i need is 56 /57 inchs ..what is the length of the stock 55 or 56 drive shaft anyone know ..my car didnt come with one at all ...just so i know weather or not a stocker would work...pics up soon
I have a driveshaft laying around here somewhere, I'll try to measure from center of u-joints if it will help. Lost on names, maybe Hamb Jive, Diminishing Returns? Like was said it will come naturally when the car is finished, then the name does not get in the way of the build!
I saw that you are in New York and was going to suggest Big Apple Bomber but remembered 911...that name would be totally disrespectful to all Americans.How about American Pride...the 9 second ride.
54 1/2 " C/C on the driveshaft U-joints. That's the lenth of two I have in the garage. As far as a name goes, stick in a single bucket seat and call it, "Standing Room Only". Butch/56sedandelivery.
lol,,,,,yea after i finish it im shure ill have something to put on it bye than ...i just figured when i made this post ...i would pick everyones brain to see what else i could call it ....still need alot of work ...but..it will get there.. still to do ... patch lower fender ,door ,radius wheel well on drivers side , drive shaft . install all new fuel and brake lines install all new brake parts front and rear . and install master cylinder..reall nothing to hard ..
well if ya want the alte 60s vibe how about STARSHIP INTERCOURSE,KINDA go for that star trek feel as it were...........
Lorodz, how bout "PRIME TIME" Hey, if ya already have the edelbrocks, just pop the edelbrock badge off the front and dull the finish some. That is what makes them stick out soo bad compared to the original Carter AFB's. They really are not a great tunnel ram carb, but with some patience and lots of tuning you can get them dialed in enough to work.
