flowerseller July 9, 2011 July 9, 2011 purrs like a raped tiger 350cid/350hp - turbo 350 trans - ford 9" rear 32" of rubber
Chad July 9, 2011 July 9, 2011 Awesome! The only thing that could make it better is if there was fomoco written all over it (coming from the guy who has a ford tattoo on his calf...)!!
flowerseller August 12, 2011 Author August 12, 2011 Time for an update I'm having new ladder bars for the rear suspension made at a place called Pete and Jake's in MO. Good thing one broke sooner than later. They're at the chrome shop now since they were made from 1" DOM seamless tube stock and I wanted them as shinny as chrome. I hope to have them back by next weekend. I moved some plug wires around and low and behold, by routing the 5 and 7 wires apart, I got even better higher end rev performance. Gas mileage, well it really sucks, bordering extremely ridiculous, but it sure was fun emptying the 6 gallon fuel cell in less than 20 minutes. I did find that if I ease into it on take off instead of standing on the gas pedal, I can keep the back wheels from spinning. who would have known? That's all for now, I'll post pics of wheelies later on in the thread.
dandy7200 August 21, 2011 August 21, 2011 Just sounds like new tank syndrome to me. Don't you know when you get a large tank you are supposed to put a pretty girl in there and post a picture....... kids these days.
Chad August 22, 2011 August 22, 2011 I'll post pics of wheelies later on in the thread. Anxiously awaiting these while I drool on my keyboard!!
flowerseller January 28, 2012 Author January 28, 2012 Finally got a new "top off" unit and have accumulated everything to get it set up except the feed line. I have to run the new feed line to the other side and think it's best to have it all in place before the final plumbing. I hate it when things look jib jobbed. I'll be installing it after Valentine's Day when I can route all the plumbing properly. All said and done, it sits a full 19" higher. woot!
zygote2k January 28, 2012 January 28, 2012 (edited) After the install, I expect to see a full smoky tire burnout and/or a pants smearing wheelstand. I grew up watching Willie Borsch at the local drag track- maybe you can do an impersonation of him and the Winged Express... Edited January 28, 2012 by zygote2k
steveoutlaw January 28, 2012 January 28, 2012 Sounds like this tank is more expensive to keep up than the other tank.
mindeeo January 28, 2012 January 28, 2012 That is awesome. I hope to see that at the next meet! Or you could always drive it over to my place.
tandldel January 28, 2012 January 28, 2012 Im still waiting for the wheelies... There is a hot rod meet every Saturday at the manassas burger king from spring through fall. You will have to bring it out. Very nice.
flowerseller January 29, 2012 Author January 29, 2012 We try to do Katies "Cars & Coffee" in Great Falls Saturday Mornings from 7-9 as often as possible. Sometimes there's over 100 cars. When is the other one?
RubberFrog January 29, 2012 January 29, 2012 I've heard that's really nice. I always want to take my son to that.
