had it out for a little this afternoon and it is time to shorten the seat :)

to be honest I'm not a big fan of it either

that was the plan :)

I had a blue on blue 71 road runner with a 383 and a pistol grip 4 speed - miss that car :) this car I got when I graduated high school in 86 and drove about a year before I swapped in a 440 and had it drop a valve (then I got the road runner)

was originally a 318 with a push button automatic but has been swapped to a 440 and it runs low 11s @ 118MPH in the 1/4 mile I actually have 2 of them

thank you!

Good eye Doug! it is a 62 Plymouth Fury (long story but it's been in the family since 84 or 85)

I am thinking about shortening the seat but that probably won't happen until after the wheelie accident that is sure to come :)

it is the biggest I could find :lol::lol::lol::lol:

took the "death trap" for the 1st ride tonight :scooter: carb needs adjusted yet but...

just an update on the progress I've made...still not ready to fire it up yet

It has standard governing

I'm liking the idea of another roller for a next build

Tires are about 12", I weigh 220 something...mostly will be flat land and not a lot of distance...leaning towards more acceleration and less top speed

not sure what a good gear ratio to shoot for is. I have a 6 horse with a 10 tooth clutch and 60 tooth sprocket and I will be adding a jackshaft but do I want to stay with 10 tooth spockets (final drive 6.00)on the jackshaft or like a 13 and 17 (4.59 final drive)...I'm not looking to set land...
