64 Dodge Update

64 Dodge Update - 04/04/11 02:07 PM

The wife and I took the 2 1/2 hour trip down to bad1970dust's shop yesterday. This car looks bad with the 10.5Ws on it... The Alston ladder bar setup is nice! He showed me the secret converter and the brake that is going in. I had the camera but didn't take any pics.. Also saw Partsman440s 67 Valiant in the shop that is getting the same chassis treatment. Nice car,Tim!! Jim was fabbing up the new tubs before we left. Quite an improvement over the old steel ones. And thanks Jim and Christy for the pizza and chicken...Quite tasty!!

Guys...Really wish I would have took some pics..Guess I was too excited! Jim does some very nice work..Maybe he can take some later..I really like the lower stance of the car. Doc...The rear kinda looks like your 65 with those big M/Ts on the back. I think it will be ready for the April 16th testing..The only pic I have is the one before everything was welded up. I am sure most have seen it but here it is..

Wait till you try and get the rear wheels off when they are slammed so low under those wheelwells.
It ain't fun. Looks awesome Ted!!

Thanks,Ron and Eric! I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess that between the Wilwood discs on the front and chassis upgrade plus the replacement of the old steel tubs to aluminum,the car may have lost about a 100 pounds. Every little bit helps! Eric...You keep posting those budget tips! I am gonna need them! I like 440Jims idea about used oil in the lawnmowers! Don't think I would use it in the Deere 455 but it might find its way into the pile of junk Ford 4000 tractor!!

You wrench needs to learn how to use orange Silicone, way too much. Otherwise looks good.

Posted By: tboomer

Re: 64 Dodge Update - 04/28/11 12:17 PM

Kevin...I told you that you can have the shocks!! PM me when you find something out at the docs office. I wish you good luck. Jimmy...The weather isn't looking too good for the weekend...More rain!! We will have to play that by ear..If the old junker holds together,maybe it can get paint next year! You and the guys do good work! I am looking forward to my first tranny brake launch! Should be interesting to say the least!! Tim...Did you get any prices on Sunoco 110 yet? I can get it up here for 7.00 a gallon...

Re: 64 Dodge Update - 04/29/11 04:12 AM

Looks good, but I did not hear any national news about banks getting robbed. Good luck with testing. Has it been on the scales yet? Just starting neutral on rear setting?
Posted By: 493_DART

Re: 64 Dodge Update - 04/29/11 05:37 AM

Jim says YOU have to take it on the maiden pass.... 5000 rpm -- hammer down --- and dont let off whatever you do !!

Re: 64 Dodge Update - 04/29/11 06:40 AM

Looks good! But you better install some saftey straps on those front rod ends, Bad news if one breaks without them, plus needs them to be legal.
Posted By: tboomer

Re: 64 Dodge Update - 04/29/11 12:40 PM

Thanks,guys!! I will talk to Jim about the straps..Lonnie..I didn't rob a bank! We don't go anywhere and I have been saving since last fall to get this project done. It hasn't been scaled yet. It is up to Jim on the rear setting. Kevin...I don't want to drop the hammer at 5 grand...It would scare me!! The goal here is to have a fast car that runs the numbers and go rounds!!
