    And I thought I was the only one who has to dodge farm equipment on test drives. Cool video.
     
  5. COOL CAR, as for the exhaust why do so many rods have leaky systems on them. Sorry pet peave of mine and not to take anything away from your ride but the exhaust would drive me nuts. how bout a tech on leak free exhaust systems. P.S. now thats it's chipped drive like you stole it.
     
  6. MOVE THE MOTOR...I CAN'T SEE!!!! ERRRRR. I hate that car! IT'S NOT MINE!
    SWEET! haha

    The top is separate from the lift. you can throw it open any time you want...safety first! ha ha ha

    Yeah, I think I put a 2400 Stall in it. Should have went a little more, but it aint too bad.

    What type of cam do you have in it? It seems to want to stall when its idling.I noticed you didn't shift into 3rd or 4th.I wonder what it would do in the 1/4 mile?
     
  13. You made a believer out of me. Thanks for the ride.
     
  14. KUDO'S for actually driving it, not ragging on you just got too many friends who ran open exhaust for the KOOL factor and now i have to repeat every fucking word to them cause their deaf from being KOOL.

    It has half of a motorcycle baffle in each pipe.

    I am already deaf from listening to too much metal on the stereo.

    It just doesn't idle too well with 8 carbs on it. I usually just rev it up now and then to keep it cleaned out. It runs best wide open. I will be the first to admit that it is way too much motor for the car, but hey that is what makes it fun.

    It has a turbo 400 in it on a hot heads adapter plate.

    it is a Howard's cam in there...I can't remember the grind specs right off hand. Ask anyone, I ain't much of a motor mechanic. ha ha ha

    Perhaps it will make an appearance at the HAMB drags this year....depends on gas prices and how much it will cost to drag my trailer down there....after all, it still is a trailer queen. ha ha ha

    Yancy, the card ran out of memory. ha ha ha I might have some shirts with me this weekend. I plan on bringing it over to your Road Rocket show this year (as long as there isn't an auction full of good junk the same day like there was last year).
     
  20. Super cool video Aaron! I can just imagine if someone from another planet came and saw you and the punk passing a crop sprayer on the road! LOL they would think we are all fucked!!

    How's the Vicky coming along?

    WARRANT isn't metal.........
     
  27. Everything about that car and that video is AWESOME! The sound of the bubble actuator lends to the spacey looks of the car. Imagining the faces of the people in the cars you pulled over for! Imagining the face of the equipment operator is even better! I need to get a shirt too so you can build more kick ass stuff!!

    And all this time I thought you were going to surprise me with new quarters on the 32 free of charge. Instead you have the nerve to have some fun and enjoy that crazy thing!!!

    It's awesome Plowboy!!!! I am glad to see this thing being abused.....but in a good way.

    Trade for my Roadster? Hahahah!!!!!
