Slant Six Roadster Build

[thebearded1]

Thanks I'm really happy with how it has turned out and how it sounds!

I have thought about a top and will wait to see how tall the rollbar is and see if I can make a soft top to go from the roll around to the windshield. The rollbar will be bolt on so I can remove it for street driving.

That would be cool.

I love the sound of a \6 at speed !
Almost sounds like a Cummins .

Yea my buddy said the same thing. This megaphone exhaust was a big improvement over the old temporary straight pipe.

Haven't been on here as much but so far this season I've run the car at two drag events and a dirt track event and have been having a lot of fun. I have another drag event this weekend too at South Mountain Raceway in Boilings Springs, PA.

Haven't done too many changes to the car except I made a hood and did some number painting. Plans are still in the works for a little rollbar, I've just been trying to determine how much I need to extend the frame.

Here is a photo with Rick Covalt's valiant from last weekend at Mason Dixon.

Good grief man , Open wheel racing on dirt ! You need a roll cage !
Heck even driving on the street you need one .
Ya I now a cage would look a bit much BUT your life would be much better on this side of the dirt .

I do have plans to add a rear 4 point roll bar but it will be bolt in so I can remove it for the street. A roll bar is a dangerous thing if you aren't wearing a helmet.

The dirt events are controlled speed exhibitions. We do some passing but we are not racing flat out as a competition.
