Little update. Ive done quite a bit on the truck since I last posted. Ive been real busy with things and having to move my shop and my home set things back. Since I last posted, Ive put together a stout little 500 hp pump gas 460 BBC, Installed a built TH400 and and rebuilt my 12 bolt with 4.11 gears. The Truck has been lowered another inch in the back.
The truck currently runs low 12's on street tires with reserved throttle movement off the line. best 1/4 time 12.1 @111. The truck should be in the mid to 11's with traction. Hopefully the Tubed frame with graft Ive been working on with the 18.5 mickeys will help there.
I still have not finished the Frame I was working on but plan to start on it again this month. I will upload some pictures of my progress over the last 2 years.
Looking forward to getting back on this!
