I tried a few things to change FB to 'public' but apparently not working? Michelle uploaded the video to Youtube, it's called "1000 Horsepower 1968 Valiant "

i'll check it out.

Says I must log in to continue...

How tall are the rear tire ?

"On the next episode of Street Outlaws Detroit...."

Nice to see it up and running!

Sounds and looks killer!!

It's been busy since Thursday trying to get out testing. Changing parts adjusting parts etc. Side note: I'm going to speculate some looser returned a 20 year-old worn-out coil spring to Summit, passing it off as-if it were unused, only for me to pay-for a used WORN-OUT spring that additionally had major powdercoat chips. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I made two passes on Monday at Lapeer, the second pass footbraking it went 1.33 60ft and 3.83 330ft Obviously I have more work to do but, I feel it's got potential. Michelle put a couple more vids up on FB. I didn't weigh the car so, that'll be coming real soon. In a way, I hope it's as heavy as i think because really I care more about what kinda power it's making for some odd reason? lol

You sir are a magician. Your build is incredible. That car looks pissed and ready to eat!! Let us know how it does

Thanks again everyone...there's really no magic here. It's taken ME so long to build. Understandably, not everyone at all times has long nights to burn and this is what it really took for me to get things to this point. I've had things done that i redid along with things i made to remake whether it was for function or looks. I haven't helped anyone much lately plus, I have been the one getting assistance. While I'm not complaining, on this last stretch of the build, I have not gone to bed before midnight. Mostly it's been way later and I work dayshift. One way or the other I'll get it down to running the way i think it should. Although a few arguments along the way, my wife being involved (little arm twisting here and there) has certainly helped me. She even said this weekend after helping at the track..."although it's a bunch of work, at the end of the day you wind-up enjoying it all"

Post race ...dont mind trailer it's a loaner. hood and deck are on.

I wonder how much MPH the car will pick up with the back window in
2,6,8?

LOL I might not know comparatively. Because it is legal to run without and at the moment if it'll delay me getting out another week, I'll skip it. Running without it goes against all the help that's tolerated me putting the extra time into the looks. We struggled with it for about an hour/learned some things and it'll eventually go in soon. I'm sorry I havent figured out how to link the FB vids but Michelle did post the video of my second hit at Lapeer which is decent ...ON YOUTUBE so if you click on the vid here someone nicely linked and then click on Michelle's name it'll show the other vid. The sound is good. There is a good amount just watching the vid to know what needs done yet, thanks to a few that have critiqued. The one neat thing about this track is the 'enclosure' the track is within contains the sounds. You gotta remember, these are the first tests in the car, I'm just getting comfortable/familiar with things in general. People kept texting Michelle about #'s what did it run, she's asking me and although I felt it was pulling strong at points there was no way to quantify. But as i was unloading the car I remembered seeing a 3.8x on one ticket and once i looked closer, it felt good to think it's going to run OK. Nothing broke, nothing leaks, everything is still tight, I never opened the hood to check ANYTHING while i was there. Yeah the chassis needs and is getting some adjustments now, I'm near the point where I am enjoying the fruits of the sacrifices.

That is one nice car. Way nicer than I could ever put together. May I add, ever so humbly, one suggestion? [img]http://[/img]

Thank you! I am TOTALLY open to suggestions and constructive inputs. I certainly give mine! I give in the event to avoid any oversights. personally I'm so consumed with so much at this point I recognize that I may miss something. I just assume most are in the same boat.

Your car has both- the right stance AND the right lines for that old Pro Stock hood scoop to look absolutely killer on it.

I remember seeing that car when it had flared out rear wheel wells
I bought some used hemi parts from them before they started going real fast

LOL, I used to agree but I had to update the car here and there...

It got damaged the last time I ran the car in it's old 906/446/590 SS spring days. It was donated to a great cause! and with the abilities of a very capable up-and-comer, it's still being put to good use!
