Few pics I thought some would appreciate from Mecum Kissimmee today:
For the ramp truck fans!
Or maybe this one?
This one was cool!
Or how about this one that did not meet the Reserve and thus didn't sell (70 Hemi Cuda, bidding stopped at $180k):
Ok, ok...I admit I was clearly a bit...
What we do a LOT of at the track. Sit in the pits and wait....
Then go win a round or two, wait, wait some more until its dark and getting later and go up and light the red bulb :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead: . If I'm going to do that, I want to do it early in the day so i can get home...
From someone with 2 10'x10' doors (and a 12x18), I don't not recommend anything more narrow than 10'. I have to be cautious when pulling my 1500 truck in my shop as there's not a whole lot of room to the mirrors on either side. I thought 10' would be wonderful...it is just ok.
For the OP...and to continue this discussion...
I have a Cheetah shifter. RMVB 727 trans. The Cheetah cable exits the front of the shifter but turns and goes rearward. It turns again in front of the trans cross member and enters the trans from the rear. VERY simple cable routing well away...
Well done - a good-looking clean installation for sure!
Anybody that can mount that B&M or any forward exit cable up around the front of the trans and avoid the headers and get the angle right to come in around the 727/904 bell, hook up the shift lever, etc, etc is 1000% better of a wrench than...
Thx Evan! Think I've shared it elsewhere but if not, the rears MT ET Drag bias slicks (28/10.5-15W). The fronts are MT Sportsman 26/7.5-15 (8-plys, p/n 1573).
And thx for the well-wishes. Always need that every time you go out racing - there are sharks out there no matter where you go, what...
Switched the avatar over to "race mode" meaning dropped the exhaust and put the slicks on. No more street driving for awhile as race season is about to begin! Been 12 months since the Sportsman bracket win...what will this season bring?
"...mid to high 12's"? You'll have a hard time keeping a 408 that slow. These things make big-boy torque down low - and you can decide whichever cam you want. They'll still do it.
But I will say that my 408 with a 251/255@.050 SFT is pretty rowdy if I never wanted to take it to the track...
Practicing, practicing with my newest toy a 325X TIG welder. Wish I had some talent to use it better like I bet a bunch on here already have. It sure makes MIG welding easy by comparison. Even got a cart for it off Marketplace for cheap!
72 Demon: Hopefully more of the same - race each month they race and back to street trim and drive to local cruises in the "off" months. Don't need any breakage to sidetrack me!
71 Demon 340: Hopefully more of the same - specific car shows and a few local cruises. We tend to keep this car...
