Any word on G-U-$ and his killa wagon? I have not seen that dude on the boards in almost 2 years...

Hope all is OK

Good to see Suga's progress..

---

I talked to him a couple of months ago.......and talked to his wife about three weeks ago......Long story short, he's going through some really tough times right now........but he'll come out of it and be OK.......

Yeah, between working on this GTS and starting another business venture, I haven't had much extra coinage to throw at Brown Sugar, but now that my GTS is about finished, I'm going work harder on getting it race ready......

Wayne that car is killer , how did you get it it so light with you in it ? what heads ?

---

I weigh 205.........It's got Bulldog heads........fiberglass fenders..........fiberglass front bumper.........fiberglass front bumper brackets.....rearend's got a spool.....aluminum front wheels with DS2 tires, which are pretty light........and it's going to get an aluminum case transmission, so that should help a little........but I added weight by going to a Dana and installing the blow proof bellhousing.........plus it's going to get a roll bar, frame connectors, and driveshaft loop........

Car's still got drum brakes at all four corners so I'm thinking of going to lightweight dics up front, but my cashflow is a little low after all this.......

Yeah, I call it my dual plane, single plane intake.......

Insane! I'm scared to go over 105 or so on the track with drums!

Very trick ride and virtually defines the term "sleeper".

Now all it needs is a 200 shot of nitrous with the fogger lines hidden under the intake!

I hear that a LOT, but the truth is that it stops really good.........The secret is to have the brakes religned at a brake rebuilder instead of just buying shoes from a parts store, that way 100% of the shoe's surface actually touches the brake drum.....If you look at any old road test, drums stop as good as discs, but they won't do it ten times right in a row, but I don't panic stop ten times in a row with these either........ Plus, all 18 wheelers that I know of, are drum brake........they have more surface area, so they do build heat quicker......

I've got a buddy with a 3,400LB '70 Chevelle that runs low 8's in the 1/4 and he's still running drum brakes all the way around.........

I'd do that, but I think the power level of the motor is already approaching the limits of the stock block, even with the cross bolted caps that are in it.......I wish someone made a good, iron, low deck block......

My dart was 3605 last time I scaled it , original everything including the spare and jack in the trunk , 1/4 tank of fuel and I weighed about 190 , I'm putting alot of alum pieces on that look stock and I may get a griffon rad that looks like a stock round top but is made of Alum , I'm hoping to get the car down to 3400 with the driver .

---

I was hoping for 3,400 race ready, but I'm a long ways away from that......My car's got the original radiator that I've had made into a high effeciency 4 row with a custom shroud, and it's not near enough radiator......The car overheats within 5 miles of driving, so I've been looking into other stock looking radiators too......I'd like to find a 4 row, 26" radiator with a round top.......

Cool......I think I know who you are now........Is it still black primer??? Runs in the 12's??? On the East side of 169?

---

not primer, dirty old black paint in need of some and east side of 75, stones throw from the Cadillac and Ford dealers. I dont think you mentioned rear springs. Super Stocks? I bet that thing will really work the suspention. Looking forward to seeing it run.

Doh........I don't know why I said 169........I knew 75 went through B-ville.....

Car's got some springs I had made at Tulsa Auto Spring.........They're REALLY stiff........The passenger side actually has a bit too much arch, so I'm going to have to pull it to have it dearched a little.........The way it is now, with the K-frame on top of a socket on top of my floor jack, the right rear is 1" higher at the wheel well, but I have to have the driver's side T-bar cranked all the way up to make it sit level, while the passenger side T-bar is level with the bottom of the control arm.......Just giving it half throttle, it pulls really hard to the left........so, it's obviously, got way too much preload........
