Its been both ways, but the latest is a 727, going to install a manual valve body I think. I still have the 4 speed and it just may go back in...... Who knows...
We are running the same tires though..... Whitneye's Lincoln is the only thing standing in my way of spending more money on it......
Yeah, I'm feeling that $$$ pinch myself rightnow. We'll have a blast no matter what & it'll be a ggod show!
I think so. Laura & I do have a room reserved but like I said, $$$ is very tight right now. It'll cost about 14 million dollars in fuel to drive this little coupe all the way there so.........may have to put her on a trailer It would be cheaper anyway & if I scatter the thing into pieces, I'd have a ride home
You realize you have to paint it another color and change the wheels and get a hood ... your secret is out and the sand baggin for bucks begins now Neat stuff .. just get it close to the rollbar stage and play all day and tease them all.. paperdog
added a few pics for you on page 3 can't wait till the hamb drags i 've sent out for reservations but no confirmation yet i know the feeling on the money crunch that is a big factor in if we are going or not. see ya there if not before Later
I think the secret to going faster in this car would have to be the driver in this photo...! I absolutely love this Coupe...!
Wingnutz, that is some funny shit. That is my nephew Henry in the photo. My wife Laura is @ work, lurking on the HAMB today, & she stumbled across this & she asked that I let you know that it made her day The track is Temple academy dragway, better known as "little river" The Kontinentals host a race there annualy.
love to hear that small block rev just to the point of hitting the valves.....awesome sound..... one of the coolest cars on the hamb....and much of my inspiration for my next build
If you could get it to hook I bet you could cut 4-5 tenths off you et. (or break stuff) I still think seeing you run at the HAMB Drags was the highlight of the summer for me.
Hey Thirdy, how ya coming along on yours? Next year I'll take ya out for a spin. Hell Thirdy, I may let ya drive it yourself
Dang it D.W. I remember when that body was sitting in your garage floor, and you were contemplating chopping it, and what frame to use, motor, etc, good call on everything!!! Rey 53choptop
$low, running out of money. I've got a lot of the nickle and dime stuff for it, (wheels, tires, gauges, wiring) just need to find the elusive 409 block. I found the good 425hp heads (which are like hens teeth and super expensive) The engine will be the $$$ part of the build. Finding the block is the key. The rest of it is either BBC or SBC internals... stuff I stock. I doubt I'll have it together for the Drags... unless I come up with some good money.
