Thanks. I've always liked that pro-street look with big n littles.
But I think that's just a product of growin up in the 80s.

Thanks. The wheels were an experiment that cost almost as much as ordering them from stockton but this way I got pictures and experience.

R&K's71 · 05-11-2011, 04:50 PM

Yeah but to say you built those wheels thats not something every one can say. Keep up the experiments. Ill be watching the build.

I plan on another 1 or 2 inches of drop.
Gotta go to the salvage and get another set of tubs, I was going to use sheetmetal but it didn't turn out good.

Thanks guys. Glad to have you following along.
I just ordered a edelbrock 800.
My holley is gettin an amazing 4 MPG.

dougminton · 06-06-2011, 12:32 PM

I got the edelbrock installed.
It ran terrible,way too lean at anything except idle.
Its going back to summit today.
The good news is I picked up some straight bedsides (winter project)
with the wheelwells still on to widen mine with.
I also picked up a right front fender off the same truck.

A little update

I got the wheeltubs tacked in last weekend. Pics soon.

Next project is dual relays for the fans,

cuz they'll melt a single relay. Dangit I hate it when stuff melts.

It's just been too HOT to do anything to it, But i'm gonna try to take it to thundervalley this friday.

dougminton · 10-03-2011, 10:00 AM

Now that its cooled off a bit I pulled the electric fans off.(kept blowin fuses)
I had to build a shroud because I have the long water pump setup.
My dad came up with the idea to make it 2 piece so it would be easier to get the fan on and off.
