My god. The talent that some of you guys have is just......wow.

It's really much simpler than a guy thinks once you break it down into little pieces.

Keep up the good work. What spring rate did you go with in the rear, and what did you figure the weight on the axle would be?

 

[Woosley]

That rake looks intimidating as hell on that old beauty. Awesome job!!

B e a utiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck hacking the weight off the doors. Those 'ol girls were built to be tough. Have you taken a look at the US Body Source doors???

Makes my sticker peck out! You're a darn good fabricator, don't sell yourself short! If this stuff were so easy, everyone would be doing it!

200 rate springs in the rear. Should be a good starting point after long conversations with Afco tech. Light by the charts , but I'm looking to have a very responsive rear. Currently have 1200# on the rear and the springs are barely working. I'd imagine I'll end up buying a couple more sets. Cheap enough for a pair.

I think the oldies look awesome with some rake!!

I am getting my rear fenders from us body source. Just a touch more expensive than new steel fenders. I'm way under weight already, so if I can save a few bucks by being fatter, I'm game. No way I could compete in prostock with my budget, weight, and experience. So I'll be ballasting up to weight in the rear.

I'd be happy if prostreet minimum was dropped to 4000lbs. It has become more a purpose built class than it used to be. Making it more difficult to meet weight.

Thanks!!

Im playing with the idea of machining a little out of the "spacer" portion of the wheel to narrow the track width a hair. It would really help my front tire clearance.

 

[jlibert]

I think it's only there for caliper clearance anyway.

She is a sexy behotch Adam, keep up the good work man. She is beautiful.

Agreed. I quite a bit of room at the moment.

Thanks. Hope to have a real update soon. Race season is just around the corner.

Bought a bead roller to practice with. Metal brakes are on backorder of course. Picked up a sheet of 22ga and 18ga to practice with. Sheet metal work is all new to me. I built a temporary guide to help with straight lines. Luckily I can always put carpet down if the floor turns out less than desirable.

replace the handle with a flat type steering wheel and it'll be easier to control by yourself
looks great, by the way

Holy chit man! I love it!!!

I found it to be a real pain to try and match up a stamped panel floor with every corner at a different height. Decided to level it out a bit by building a sub floor. I needed more cage structure right?

18ga panel test fit.

Working on the shifter mounting setup. I have to admit it is fun sitting in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the shifter.

Built an engine stand for when I pull the engine to build the pan and finalized all the misc things.

I'd really like to do drag week someday. I may keep the stock door panels with cut outs for speakers so I have some tunes. Also I found another stepside ford f100 without a cab. I may buy it to convert into a matching trailer to pull the racing gear around.

I did some polishing on the aluminum engine pieces while they were off. Been so long I wanted to check to make sure a few things were sealed and buttoned up correctly. Degree'd my cam in and documented where everything was. Set the timing and marked future settings for quick changes. I look forward to timing changes in just a few minutes.

Nearly finished with the oil pan now.

Pulled the truck outside for the first time in many months. Sfi chassis cert inspection is in a couple weeks. Just about ready now and have an appointment scheduled.

Testing some high pressure water injection at 1100psi and welded bungs in the intake manifold for direct port.

Keep up the good work, it'll pay off in the long run!

Thanks, Will.

Here's a short clip messing with different nozzles. This is (3) 225ml snow nozzles at 825psi. Actual measured flow was 800ml/min per nozzle.

Picked up some valves to help control the fuel and boost from the driver's seat.
