RPMs right nicely. Knock em dead at the show.

 

Dropped off with Derale this morning!

 

Sounds good like a hefty FE should.

GREAT sounding FE

 

Another from Sema coverage

 

Got to meet "The Count" and Goldberg, unfortunately, there was no one there to take a picture of all of us.

Also met Candy Clark aka "Debbie" from American Graffiti

I met and talked cars/trucks with Stacy David

I also got to take the "Battle of the Builders" board my car was displayed on (bottom right)

"Farmtruck" and "Azn" also hung out for a while, everyone was very nice. I also met a ton of Falcon and a couple H.A.M.B. guys that were also super fun to talk to and share stories with. The Guys I got to talk shop with all week really made it fun.

 

how did your car do at Pomona? and, it was nice to finally meet you.

I had an electrical issue that would not power the ignition and missed the first run. I made the second or third run though. I launched at about 2000, blew the tires off for about 50 feet, peddled it and hit the rev limiter, shifted, hit the rev limiter again, peddled it, shifted into high gear and hit the the rev limiter again about 150 feet before the finish line, ran 12.08 at 110mph. I have 4.11 gears I am changing to 3.50s, getting a new mono leaf rear section of my cal tracs and going to see what happens. I think I will easily be in the 10s with a clean pass

A couple photos borrowed from Hot Rod coverage of in and out burger.

 

Mike, what size and brand is your front tire? Thanks. Just got through reading the whole thread. Awesome read.

Thank you very much!!

They are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.40x15

 

Was there a preference to bias ply or was it more for the look?

We just had them from another project, there was no planning for the front tires, we had them and they fit LOL

While I'm tugging your ear, did you like the A-100 seats? I found a pair and my Comet doesn't have any at all. I do want to drive the car a good bit. Just wondering how you liked the way they sat.

I thought they were really comfortable. Much more comfortable than the kirkey seat I have now. But I felt with going faster, a race seat that holds me in better, would be better if I ever needed it. You just have to make some brackets for the seats, all the aftermarket dodge ones put the seats up too high.

 

$240 for the pair plus recovering them. You think that's a good price? The Econoline front seat upholstery kit is $350 online.
