Delivery day!! (hey LAM thread)

[PaPaG]

I did my gearvendors instal by myself, it's very doable! Shortening the driveshaft is the next hurdle. I recently heard that we don't have anyone local doing drivelines anymore, heard we have to go to Kingman now.

Or Vegas, there are a few guys up there that do it.

80 for this car would be 4100 RPM and I’m just not willing sustain that

I don’t have aspirations of major road trips with it, but I would like to be able to take it to Kingman / Bullhead / Vegas for shows etc.

I’d love to do the Power Tour West with it this year but we will see if work has other ideas.

Trailering you car or Harley is gay. What’s the point of going to an event if you don’t drive the fun toy.

Adam's drive line in Henderson has always treated me very well.

That is who some of my 4x4 buds go to, very happy with their work. When I finally have some time to install my Gear Vendor for my F350 they will be doing the 1 piece driveshaft.

Drive a car with a a blower on it a few hundred miles, 3 miles to a gallon... The heat generated by the blower, stop and go traffic does not work . A cruiser would be fine to drive ,or a very mild set up.....anxiety driving a race car on the street for that long is not fun.

Also if you get a rear flat, Time for the wrecker to come get you !

Short ride in this to a local car show is like driving a Cole TR-2 down thru Parker strip !

Gahhh I want one of those shotgun scoops but I can’t run the linkage with my hood clearance I don’t think.

I get it, it is pretty cool how the Drag Week guys get it done though.

I have a couple friends that have been jammed up by Havasu PD for little tire chirps. It’s insane. They’re hammering loud exhaust right now too….

Damn coppers...

Id want it polished vs the black, but if you happen to have any pics that show how you ran the linkage up to the butterflies with the sideways carbs, I’d certainly appreciate it!!

At 46:20 you get a nice look at this beauty -

Nice! I was wondering where that video was going. Stood there and talked to him for probably 20 mins about roadrunners. Cool cat.

That show was pretty bad ass!

 

[FlyByWire]

Kicking around the idea of something like this. These guys made the custom wheels for my Chevelle, and they’re now doing retro style forged custom wheels as well.. I’d do the same size that’s on the car now, but in all black, with the police style poverty center caps.

I always laughed at the guys with little displays of shit on or around their cars.. but…. Here I am now..

I think your roadrunner should be flipping the bird.

Bad Ass car, I'm far from a purist so that's perfect to me and it's the right color.
I grew up on Hot Rod not Stock Rod.

Thats right knee grow………

Love the guys that do whatever they want.

Had a good friend that wanted a pair of .45 Colts. My buddy at the gun shop had a customer that had a pair in a display case, never fired, never rolled the cylinder. He wanted $5k for them. My friend and I met him at the gun shop. As soon as he paid for them he took then out on the range behind the gun shop, oiled them up and proceeded to shoot them. The seller about died. Said he wouldn’t have sold them if he knew that was gonna happen. It was comical.
My friend is a three time World Champion Silhouette shooter. He got into cowboy action shooting.

Does it have AC?

Does it have AC?

It has an inverter, and it’s got one of those AC household air conditioner dealies in a box in the trunk. The vent comes out between the rear seats. How well it works, I don’t know.

Oh shit it’s the carbon one not black like I thought. That would certainly match the vibe of my car! I’ve got the polished one in its box already.

Thanks for that pic. I’ll get with Alky for that arm.
