Lol. Beef Tallow and fast food is going to make a difference versus vegetable oil. Heart disease is the number one killer in this country and things will not change until people actually change their diet.
I stared at that hole in the floor for at least a month scratching my head trying to figure out how to seal the steering shaft. All kinds of wonky compound angles there. Finally started looking at Spicer driveshaft boots. Man I got that thing laid way over so hopefully it will hold up. Right now...
Sneak peek of two parts I've been working on for the last 2 Days in between some other stuff. These will get installed tomorrow. Took me a month trying to figure out how to do this project.
Homeless people trying to burn our shop down tonight. I had three guys here luckily and we were about ready to start dragging vehicles out of the shop with my truck being first. In the last month they had stole the backflow prevent her out front which was $3,000 to fix. In the back they have...
I was guessing 3200. 100 lb lighter. Don't think you can get much more balanced than this. Morrison chassis. L83 all aluminum late model direct injected motor. 4l65 four-speed automatic trans. 9 in rear with four link. 400 horsepower. This car drives so good it's ridiculous. Although my knees...
I guessed 2750 and each of the other guys guessed 3000 and 3200. This car is light and that's why it is so fun to drive. Virtually the same weight as the Funco. Look how much weight is on the nose with that all iron mid 50s 241 hemi. Smallest hemi they ever made from Chrysler, DeSoto, or Dodge...
Give network alignment a cigar. Damn. Add probably 40 to 50 lb for the rear sway bar and the rear skid plate and this thing will be 4,100 lb. Nose of this truck will still be heavier with one or two passengers in it. And if I remove the rear rack ice chest and lawn chairs that is probably 45 lb...
12 gallons of fuel in the tank so a little over half. Couple boxes of dynamat. All of the seat belts and harnesses. Time to warm up the scales. Last chance to guess.
Was able to borrow a set. Thank you. Excited about weighing some cars today. Especially the funco. Built that car 20 years ago and I've always wondered.
My 800 after the Super ATV arms on it. 60" wide. Truck is only a couple inches wider than that in the front. :p I am going with 3780 lbs. Oh and add an aluminum rear skid plate for the gas tank to my list.
Getting very very close. Still a lot to do but in the scope of this entire project not very far to get this truck on the dyno. I can now actually make a list. Some wiring left but that is probably 95% done on the truck. Seal the floor with a rubber boot and uniball bearing where the steering...
I made two 1/2 thick steel blocks to mount the turning brake lever which of course will be the auxiliary oh s*** braking system. I have to pull the rear tires back off to mount those rear calipers. Not looking forward to that. This will probably get plumbed first and I will end up driving the...
Main double hydraulic braking system is all plumbed. Still need to do a bunch of clamps to hold it all down. Mounted the proportioning valve so I can reach down and access it from the top master cylinder lid and not have to get under the truck.
