Slant Six Roadster Build
As for my track bucket I sent the steering box to Clark's Corvair Parts to have it rebuilt and they did a great job. I knew I didn't have the tools to do the job right but had other tools I would have used and screwed it up haha. They even media blasted the box and it looks great. I ended up just painting it with satin clear.
I bumped my tire pressures up in the front to 30 psi and was able to stop a bounce that was happening at 65 mph and was able to do 80 mph.
I cut and tack welded together a new exhaust from a u bend and a megaphone. Sorry no pics right now. My buddy is going to tig weld it to finish it up. I also added a small bosch tach to the column too so I can have more consistent launches at the drag strip.
Right now i'm working on attaching some 40's Ford hydraulic lever shocks for the rear. I will post photos once i get those done.
Been taking the car to work and was going to run at South Mountain Raceway this past Sunday for some drag action but it was canceled due to rain. This weekend is the Mobtown Greaseball Show in Dundalk MD but once again they are calling for a bunch of rain. Then another drag race at Eastside Speedway in VA Sept 30 hopefully with decent weather!
