I Fired the GREEN BEAN last night and Holy F***!!! does it sound goooooooood. I got through wiring her top to bottom and just had to see what sound would pour through those headers!. Well its fucking loud and bad ass my friends. I had 1 fuel leak and a missing plug in the block let a slew of oil pour out..but with those two problems fixed I fired her again...Idles on demand, good oil pressure...man Im stoked. This was a doner motor these wigger guys gave us. They said it was a "good" motor when they took it out of there Caprice to put in a 350...Well its a runner to say the least.... I need a radiator, tires(fronts are in the mail) and run the transmission lines and itll be ready for a quater mile test run!!
Feels like the first time Like a vigin Sorry for the lyric quotes! Congrats on the first fire-up. Mike
Im not running anything as of yet..I was waiting to see what rad I ended up with..It has to be a shorty watcha got meho
Congrads my friend!!!!!! It is definitely a good feeling Does it shoot flames out those shorty pipes??
It will Im sure!! I havent let it run for more than a minute or so do to the lack of cooling.... It may just make my ears bleed when its driven
Once it's on the road, you'll have to get Nads to ride shotgun with a cam-corder and make a Florida version of the Jimmy White video for us...include a few "alligator speed bumps" for thrills and local flavor! We wanna hear it too!
I have a digital camer recorder but how the hell can I turn it into a file for the comp??? Im gonna make a first run video for sure....maybe a run down to Gatorland hahahah
Ha Ha Ha...I remember Gatorland Zoo from when I was like ten years old! Funny thing was, when the Teutuls visited there on American Chopper, it looked exactly the same as it did in the 70s...(but they didn't let us ride a Gator!) I was kinda blown away that they gave us ordinary bread to feed them critters...and they LIKE it...I thought they'd hand us small animals or something to toss over the rail!! Swazzie...nah, I just LOOK like him!
I've got a '65 'stang radiator with a 28-29 shell. The shell came from another HAMB member and was on a channeled car.
These dimensions are at the widest points. Rad: Side to side: 19.5" Top to bottom: 21" Shell: 22.5" Wide x 28" tall
Thanks Curly for the info....I think Im gonna have to just break down and get the 600 buck short T radiator that needs no shell I need to drive this MoFo!!!!!
hey whats the best thing to secure and cover wires that run across a floor...Black Duct tape and a rubber mat is what Im thinking
On the wires, go to the junkyard and lift the rug on any GM car made in living memory, They have a nice sturdy flat rubber conduit for the wiring that is made to protect it from damage by people's feet.
Did Donald Trump show up and give you a copy of his lawsuit cuz you "fired" the car? Ooooh, bad joke, bad joke........shame on me.
Can't wait to see it in person! Any good shows coming up in O-town that are worth making a road trip for? I'll bring some Motley Crue tapes... -Duck
For your wires you can go to Radio Shack (or electrical supply house) and they sell "Pan-duit" its flat, flexible and has adhesive tape on the back, we use it alot for fibe-optic cable and wiring in control cabinets and the tape doesnt let go in the heat either.
thanks Dixe DeeeOGGGGGGGGGGGG..........if the truck sales Ill have the GB on the road by the end of the month
Congratulations dude. I heard the thang running over his cell last night, I'll testify it sounds good and it's loud as hell. The coppas aren't gonna give you a moments peace man.
Fired the bean up again last night and answer ya...YES it shoots flames from the pipes..Oh does it shoort flames!!! 2 tire and a radiator is all thats between me and the road
