whats new with your hot rod, and hows the racing going?

well i think im going to try to hang on to my little truck just a little longer. i took your advice and have been away from it for a week. i think ill wait another week before i go and do anything to it.

Well,

I just put on a new 4150 hp holley.
Bought a hood and am getting it sanded and prepped for paint.
And to cut a hole in it so I can put on a spacer and get better air to the carb.
Installing a new steering wheel and monster tach with shift light Saturday.

Thinking of installing the no-hops and adding a bag to the suspension.

I ripped out a bunch of wiring and have been cleaning that up in preperation of installing a new harness this winter.

I was going to go to the track tonight but I ran it out of fuel to put in new fuel filters.

That's about it for me...

damn carl been busy

I just got that dual plane intake on, will re torque sat, and put dist, and carb on and all that, need to get a new line loc on it had some troubles last time out, race in two weeks, cant wait someday this thing is going to go 12.99 or a lil faster, I hope

Well, I fixed that dang carburetor issue I had. I had an off idle bog, so I overcompensated:

After:

Thought I'd share some pics of my projects recently.

Steering and tach before...


After...


And other stuff like the hood I bought to cut up...




Still have a ways to go on the hood and I now have a 4150 hp series Holley on my intake and a new phenolic spacer going on as soon as the hood is ready.

Looks great Carl. What are your plans on the hood?
Looks like your headed for some 11's

Just going to cut a hole in it for this year and then decide whether I want to put a cowl or other type scoop on it.

looks good carl, fun when you get new stuff!!!!

Carl, looks like it's going great!
Just a thought,.....shouldn't you wait `til after the hood is painted, before you buff the hood with a "power-ball" ?....just a thought.

Took the fun right out of it now
