when are the burnout vids or drag strip vids comin out??i wanna see it run

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

I know you were talking about wanting to chop it, -and this might sound wierd coming from me- but I think it would be perfect just the way it is, but lowered all the way down like a pro mod, and some zoomies coming out behind the front wheels,

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Ha ha. .

I hear ya bud! First I get her back on the road. The way she is setup now, she would run in the 14's in an 1/8th . . Ha ha.
They would laugh at me at the track!
Hey, I will take her down once! And I gaurantee I will do one Helluva Nasty John Force Burnout!

yea.. IMO dont chop... please

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Here is a quickie... , and it would be expensive, but if you narrowed the rear more and had a deeper dish weld wheel , it would look more like a pro mod.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

Dang dude, that looks Sick! Yeah, I always wanted the Pro/Mod or Outlaw look. Actually were looking at fender dumps or zoomies when we were setting the motor up. We have 4 9inch rear ends on hand! 2 already narrowed and ready for install. What do you recomend for my rearend set up? Also take a look at my frontend setup, and what do you recomend for inner fenders? If I go with zoomies/fender dumps that might change things. You know I also had an idea of having my exhaust coming out the sides where the step is and having the exhaust tips cut out like a muzzle of an machine gun or an assault rifle. That would look cool. I also wanted to put an air ride system on her to lower her when I want and raiser her when I have to. There is an ole' boy at the Lowes Motor Speedway Carshows that has an green 55-57 or a 58-59 Pro/Street setup with huge blower combo sticking out close to the top of the cab with huge rear tires, a pro/mod wing, wheely bars, and a parchute that ponds the ground when the guy fires it up! It's street legal!

Yea. . .
I think I will keep her like she is.

Thanks bud,

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread
 

you could just run no inners like dinos63 has on his green truck, or you might be able to custom build a set that hugs the block, and then comes out under the frame rail.

This Cheemie don't look to bad. Don't really care for the Snorkle scoop on it. Like the blower sticking out.
Would look better if it was lowered....(slight rake look)
And another:

Just collected all of my pics of my truck since 1994. Will try to have them scanned, and put on disk soon. I also took pictures of my fuel cell set-up.
Stay tuned!

Don't know how to put sound clips on here if possible.
