Curt_pnw Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wow this is my new favorite build on here. Awesome fab skills, your work with the firewall and subframe is amazing. I'll be watching this! Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah Bob...great job! I got your message, I will call back today. If you get this first then just know that I will be in touch man. Yeah Madness...I think Bob needs to make his KC into a car hauler so he can tow this thing around...huge flat bed...slanted ramp rear...dually back axles...two of them...that would fix his tow capacity!:lol: Love the fab work Bob. How is the rim selection coming? Do you have some picked out yet? Quote Link to comment

rebstew Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just seen this thread and I'm really starting to like this forum. This is what I'm into when it comes to cars. Making stuff work that wasn't ever suppose to. It's hard to impress me and you have done it. Mad fabbing skills to say the least. I'm into straight racing but use to street race when I was a kid. 1/4 in one and highway runs in my 80 T/A, 241 rear gear.:D It was years ago and those days are over but I wouldn't mine doing some road racing. I'd say I'm outdated now a days with all the new stuff they have out. It would still be fun. One thing I was wondering is what does a motor like that weigh? I couldn't get a good look at it in the pics but how far over the front wheel is it resting? With a light rearend and weight over the front wheel will it hold the track or will you have to slide the rearend around the hard curves? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 With a light rearend and weight over the front wheel will it hold the track or will you have to slide the rearend around the hard curves? My plan shows that the weight balance should be very close to 50/50. I will have the fuel tank in this weekend and I'll throw the motor / trans in and weigh it. I'll post the results here.

Bob3 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I couldn't get a good look at it in the pics but how far over the front wheel is it (the engine) resting? The center line of the front axle is in line with #3 sparkplug (#1 is the farthest forward). Quote Link to comment
