wow great looking and nice running car you have there. if you don't mind me asking what was your 1/8 mile ET and speed. great time on your first time out it will only get faster from here on out.mopar65
I remember reading one run at 6.93 @ 100 mph. I definitely plan on shaving at least another couple tenths off the 1/4 in the spring after some suspension tuning and dyno tuning.
wow, just read the whole story about you and your car.....you did an awesome job, you are a very ambitious guy! And now you have a very cool car, enjoy it!
I think it drained ALL of my ambitions ha! It did take a lot of time from everything else I used to enjoy like brewing beer, golf, shooting guns, and sadly I noticed I didn't hang out with friends and family (or my wife for that matter) near as much either. Now that it's going to be a little easier road from here on out, I'll at least get to enjoy the car more than being frustrated with it. I just brewed 2 batches of beer a couple weeks ago which I hadn't done in over a year, golf season is out but I can still go shooting. I'm also going to restore a little 50cc Honda mini bike that's been in my family for many years. Took it apart 2 years ago and it's still in boxes. I've had to put that off too because of the car.
But one thing that I'm happy about having the car going now is being able to enjoy it with other people. Most friends/family haven't ever had to opportunity to ride in a muscle car and that was one thing I never had the pleasure of experiencing either until more recent years. A lot of guys wouldn't ever get their car out, take you for a ride, or even start them for that matter. You could only look. That always drove me nuts! I've already promised a bunch of rides between family, friends, and neighbors. One neighbor asked that I please take his teenage son for a ride because his son thinks that his basically stock Honda Civic is "quick" and that his son really has no idea what real horsepower is. Maybe I can convert the kid to the life of American muscle and leave the fart cans behind.
