Tony it looks like your daughter tree'd you again. LOL Looks like too much fun. Rub it in won't ya, some of us have to work on Sunday. I'm hoping to see you again at the MATS.

I don't have a part number. I bought them lightly used from another member here. Like you I'm glad they come apart and should make install and removing them easier. They are only 1 5/8" primaries with 2 1/2" collector. I was looking for a set of TTIs, but these will do for now.

Well I have had zero time to work on the car. I have been swamped with orders and other work obligations, but I have collected some more parts for the build. Here is a used set of Afco dirt track gauges that I picked up for $20 thanks ebay. I'm still not sure about having a fuel pressure...

Thanks Louis. I plan on running new steel lines with a proportioning valve under the drivers seat and have the front lines pass through the frame rails with stainless steel flex lines to the calipers.

OOooowww Shiny. I picked up these lightly used Wilwood Machined 4 piston calipers for next to nothing on Ebay. The piston diameter specs out and will work for what I need. They even came with new pads. I love late night ebay deals. It's a win, win they clear the early sway bar tabs no...

Well that sucks and is good to know.

Looking great Tony. I'm in the process of cutting out a trunk myself. Is you stock eliminator buddy Earl Blake? If so then he has ordered some parts from me in the past.

Just to get the car on the track this year I will be running G Force radials until I can get the wheels that I want. Then the fenders will get flared so I can run the stance that I want. My goal is to keep the 65 Barracuda looking stock from the outside.

I plan on running slicks on 10" wheels all around. I am planning on running a 904 with manual valve body(so my wife can drive it too, her car), stock convertor (engine braking) and running a ton of gear like a 4.78 The idea is to trip the timing lights in second and leave it there. I need...

Louis Yes I'm using the factory power steering box. It's not recommended to use one of these with manual steering. It's taking it from roughly 3 turns lock to lock to 1.5. Less steering input, like a go cart. LOL

I have been super busy with the Christmas holiday, family stuff and getting orders out, but I do have a little to report. Been collecting parts and Justin is still working on the heads. I picked up a fresh 9" 3rd member with a rebuilt trac loc with new discs and all new bearings. I will be...

These showed up today.

I did notice the the motion ratio of the camaro lowers is really bad and it makes sense that he would have to run so much spring rate. It really doesn't allow the shock to work, like he said in his blog. I guess guys are compensating with 12" slicks. Here are the lowers that I am running. I...

I have talked to Steve a couple of times. One time was in person at the MATS last year about the car. He gave me a couple of good ideas about the car. Wow, thanks. Are you running in CP? I would love to see pics. There is a sticky here about uploading pics. I would love to buy a better...

No problem at all. Thanks for the link. I will look through it later. I ordered these parts today. I need the seat so I can mock it up to work with the main hoop on my cage. The fuel cell is 8 gallons and should be able to race all day with that. Speedway has $7.99 shipping right now. It...

According to this guy he had a problem getting any positive caster even with a ton of shims behind the pivot and aftermarket upper control arms.

It's a 9", it must be the angle of the picture. I traded a couple of old steel wheels and tires for it.

I picked up this in a parts trade yesterday. It measures 58" it should work great and I don't have to narrow another housing and buy new axles.

I went and met another racer in my class last night. Super nice guy that wouldn't let me leave. LOL He runs a 68 camaro, 350, dry sump oiling, 13.1 compression, claims 550 hp and 500 lbft torque. 3 link in the rear with a funky link panhard bar combo. Not a big fan because if you notice the...

That would be great. I was just going to put mine in my tubing bender. :D

I have thought about the idler mount on the K member too. I will be taking a look at it in the near future.

Scary stuff I can't believe someone would weld that to the floor pan. That's why I like the the top picture, it's tied into the loop and at least the frame rails. Mine will come down from the cage and tie into the crossmember and the loop. It also looks like the top pic is running a watts link.

The rear suspension is going to be something that I haven't seen on here before. A three link with a panhard bar.

Here is the short block and heads. Like I said before the heads are boxed up and heading to Justin so he can do his thing. I had some help gutting the car. He works for food and a roof over his head and a little candy helps too. The window regulators and glass is out. I bet I pulled...

A few pics so you can see what I have been doing. Reinforcing the K frame and getting it ready for the coilover conversion. I installed the coilover hoops when I thought it was going to be a street car. For the time being I will leave them in, but may cut them out later, because the cage...

This will be a learning experience that's for sure. I plan on throwing a lot of parts at this thing really quick. I want to have it done by March for MATS. Paint and body can come later. You can run up to a 16x10 wheel before a weight penality. Most guys run a 12" wheel in the rear. As you...

I consider this a FABO team build, because there is so much info here from our great members you guys are always willing to help out. I am super stoked about this (I can't recall the last time I was this excited about a build). I have a couple of sponsers lined up to help with labor and other...

Dr. Diff had a booth behind mine at Mopars At The Strip last year and I talked to him quite a bit, he really knows his stuff and I bought a few things from him there. My wife and his wife hit it off too, just like old friends. LOL

I figured that it was 1 5/8". SCCA has different cage requirements. Sounds like you got it under control. Great job btw.

What size tube and wall on the cage? I may have it for the snout bars and can bend them up and send them to you. Anything to help a member out. I got a great deal on hrew 1.75" x .120" a while back.
