Racing is very addictive. I absolutely Love it!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKS GREAT DJ we all need to get together when they are all finished and have a drag down.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Monte Smith is a bad, bad man!!
I'm sure it'll be badass... it seems if Monte does anything the car picks up crazy #'s.
I'm thinking about going with one of his or Steve Johnsons plate kits. Gotta tune it N/A first.

Have you ever sprayed using a tight 8" converter Kevin? If so, how much do you think blows through the converter?

Thanks,
Shawn

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I'm not sure how much an 8 inch could take. I have run 8 inches normally aspirated with a big block but never sprayed a 8 inch convertor. I had a 9 inch in mine last time and I have a 9.5 this time.

How much are planning to spray?

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sounds like a plan to me!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

At the most a 225 shot. Just hoping it'll pick me up quite a bit. Should go 6.9x on motor maybe a little more.

Sorry about hijacking your thread ^^

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Shawn I would think that you would drive through the 8 inch. Call Ptc and ask for Kenny Ford and tell him I told you to call. Give him your info and see what he says.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

LoL, which PTC? Sorry, i've seen about 5 it seems on YB but they say they're not the same. I'll give him a call though. Sucks cause I just bought the 8" ATI about a month ago.

I was thinking I would probably blow right through it also though, sucks but oh well.

I got the axles cut down tonight. I am crossing my fingers that they fit and I don't have to have the spines cut deeper on the short axle. The long axle almost fit perfect. The pinion was not centered in the old rear end but it is now. We cut about 3/16ths off the long axle and about 2 3/4 inches off the short side axle.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

definetely steel doors too makes it eazier to roll down windows too , and use some smaller hingebolts you can pull out by hand when you need to switch doors on the track

i seen a trick about that a while back on some 4x4 forum for blazersdrivers that wanted to run without doors in the summer but cant recall wish one it was

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

It's going to be cool to see your truck back at the track. It's going to look great in black. Paul

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Shiny Black!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

I modified a stock set of hinges to make my glass doors removable. I just need to find a decent set of steel doors Cheap!

I would like to know the weight difference between Oem and aftermarket doors.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Looking forward to seeing it painted. I've been gone from the site for a long time. Life has finally gotten back to normal and I'm back working on my replacement truck. Glad to see you are getting the old 67 back together.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

We should hook up down there this year.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Tom I am glad to see things are looking up. Call me some time. I actually just got divorced but I think it was a good thing. I am too excited to be getting some progress made on the truck!

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
 

Sounds like a plan. I should definately have mine or my son's together by then.
