What??? Your building a 4x4 Torino?

Lol!

I plan on a few subtle changes to the truck... I was thinkin' on doin' a full tube chassis for it, but it works so well the way it is, and it's certified to 8.50 too... Soooooo, I have a few things up my sleeve that I'm gonna try and get done before April...

I gotta say Doug, I'm glad your planning!!

That is a great running truck. Might be a fun season to just run the crap out of it!! It runs consistant (sp) and its fast!!

No, but I need to have something to hook my powerstroke to.

Yours and Mike's (Goin Postal's) engine's WILL both be running by spring. I will personally make sure of that.

My plans are putting a Brake in the Glide
redoing Dash and new wheel tubs
installing New shiftnoid
new delaybox
Maybe more if I ever get off these 12 hr. shifts

A whole lot i started on the 302 build already with the kaase heads for my 76 cobra two i should have it in and running by next week then i have my 351w with iron world sr. heads i'm building and letting my buddy use it next season in his 79 fairmont then the big project is action jacksons 91 mustang hatch which is a total build so far we gutted it have the rear in and its at the body shop now getting bodywork subframes,firewall and paint done then its comeing here for the roll cage,k member kit,seats,fuel cell,motor, trans which i have to build yet and electronics and for me i wanted to pull off my heads on the 472 and portmatch them to the victor get them flowed and get the valve guideboss machined for the right springs and pick a new flat solid cam and pop in my 4000k converter but that will be last these guys come first their into the points thing i'm not.

Well,

Totally new engine. Ported P-51's, aftermarket block. Ky told me to add wheelie bars and a chute, so those are going on also.

Got a big shot plate to put on it that I have had for a while, never used because of the stock block. If the car works ok I may spray at the Bash

I also have a wing to add to the rear.

This one is going on the dyno. will report later.

Going on a diet and so is the car. Cert. the chassis, port the heads and bump stick from Lem. Time for the nines! Oh and after reading nuclearcobras post I think I will help him also. He NEEDS the stall in his car.

Thanks buddy

Gonna put a 545ci in a 91' Crown VIc. I am just gonna go from there. Plans are to be a street/strip, but if I get a wild hair up my rear, I am thinking of later putting a backhalf together in it. But for right now, just a street sleeper. Starting right on the project in a month.

That sounds awesome!! Your gonna have to start a build thread on that sleeper!!

I'm gonna put a stick of TNT in the Ranger....

and build a BBF fox body so me and my 2 boys can all go for a ride together. Got a line on an '83 GT that is fairly local thanks to the Coug.



Can't wait to go drag it home!

I already put antifreeze in my cooling system. Next step is to loosen the valves and put the car on jack stands... DONE

We will be busy this winter building Chuck's new ride

Sending a 1964 Mercury Comet to the acid dip tank within 2 months. Looks like a tube chassis and a big O Hemi under the hood!
This will be my first strut car I have built. Last one was a Mustang 11 conversion.

My goal is to swap the motor and trans in this winter. I will only be for Friday night street fights at the local track. Gonna do my best to put the other cars to shame. I will document the build the best I can. Hope to get some ideas rolling. You should see the trunk space for a bottle. I was inspired by Doug's nuclear banana truck. A big full size truck moving down that track. Don't see that often.

I hope to have no major projects this winter. Just want to relax for a change. Still have a little racing to do though. Twin $5K's here the weekend after Thanksgiving if the weather is good.

Last year I was gathering/prepping parts for the new engine. Made untold number of trips back and forth to the machine shop.
Year before last I started with a bare chassis and built the car from the ground up. Lot's of work.

About the only thing planned this winter is to add some spring tabs to my header collectors and then send the headers to Nitro Plate for a recoat.
Might build a generator mount for the tongue of my trailer. That's about it.

Thats good to know, have you heard from Mike, hope to see him and Mark at the swap meet.

I sent my other cam to comp, got it back today, got to get atiming chain, and cover.

Sounds good Dave, but as you were typing you were adding projects!!! It is hard not to tinker with something

Big Plans this winter took the 532 Eldebrock headed motor out of the fox body mustang for upgrades, to a bigger cam, tighter converter, Forged Crank vs Cast, new arp 2000 rod bolts, new girdle and wind age tray. new N20 Rings and Coated rod and Main bearings. and a new Fogger system.

BIG PLANS!!!

New set of BOOB'S for the girlfriend, along with a new G-String bathing suite. With all that work, the boat will be looking good for next season...

boater!
