Hot Rods & Wild Engines
« on: February 24, 2008, 02:47:11 PM »
As we graduated from Go-Karts to 348 tri-power Chevies, we all had to have a cool set of wheels.  I remember a friend of mine had "Hell on Wheels" painted on the side of his \'56 Ford.  It got away from him one night and he took out about 600 feet of board fence.  The car was \'totalled.\'
 
Some of us guys were hanging out at the old Super 98 station when he came walking into town one evening and Eddie yelled out at him, "Well, I guess you\'re hell on shoes now!"  :icon_lol:

I\'ve got a 1963 model 327, complete with factory 4 barrel intake.  It will spin, but hasnt\' been cranked in years.  I hope I can find someone who needs it.  Some hot rodder who has a 1963 model car or something.  I had a 66 chevelle, I sure wish I had kept it.   :wzbigcry:

I need to focus on turning 16 and getting my drivers license before I think about a car :)

I ran a 70 pro street nova with 396 and 10 inch slicks in the late 80,s.
I am now building a new drag car. 1986 mustang LX coupe. Bought this one brand new. All the floor and chassis was removed. Added a 2 x 3 inch chassis at 20 inch outside to outside. 4 link with QA-1 coil overs.
The rear and wheek yubs are aluminum.

Sorry the pics are not the best.
Still a long ways to go but getting there.

In the lastpic those are 15X331/2 tall Firestone tires.

Open Wheel Racing

Oh my, it seems we certainly have a multi-talented group assembled here.  Most impressive.  I got interested in open wheel racing some years ago and have been following it for some years.  Here\'s a link to Stanford Racing, one of the top competitors in the motorsports circuit:

Thanks for the comments guys.
And yes, there is a lot of time in this project. More than you can imagine.
This is the third time I built a car like this. And is the second unibody car I done. The car is full chassis all the way to the front. Although the original strut towers remain in place.

I have lots of pics of this build on 35mm
