ever tried getting burn out pics w/no help? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 08-17-2005, 09:15 PM

it ain't fun, let me tell you. I tried twice, and never quite got it.
Was gonna go ahead and do a video when the batterys died.

Would you believe the engine never saw the high side of 2500 RPM?
Torque rocks

71swb4x4 · 08-17-2005, 10:09 PM

Andy, you really need to find a friend to help you out. Maybe your truck scared all the ladies away

Longhorn Man · 08-17-2005, 10:20 PM

naaaa, chicks dig it!
Well...I know at least one chick that digs it anyways.
There was a guy in the shop eating his dinner, I was waiting on him to get off his fat @ss and take pics, but I was too impatient. (the first 2 pics, the digi-cam was sitting on the hard cover on his S-10 crap box)
I've learned that with no friends in town, you seldom get bothered with stupid "wazzuuuup" phone calls and no one askin you to bail them out of the slammer at 3 in the morning. So what if you have to learn how to install the hood by yourself. That's braggin rights isn't it? (and yes, I got mine on there last week by my self with no new scratches.)

71swb4x4 · 08-17-2005, 10:46 PM

Don't mess with a friend and his dinner!
In the third pic the white front end looks very menacing. Then in the fourth pic all you see is a wisp of smoke. Very cool!

72MARIO · 08-17-2005, 11:11 PM

I guess " Hick" would describe thoes pics.

When had a dirt bike I use to set up the video camera on a tri stand and ride full out towards it then watch the film to see how fast I was going. Dumb EH ?

Did you check out the burn out video of my 67 ? It was some guy I did not even know he just siad " do a burn out" I kind a hesitated to answer then he said " I will film it and send the video to your Email"

Sweet Huh ?

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-17-2005, 11:33 PM

Awesome! I could spin the hell out of the old skinny bias ply tires that I had on my truck, but now that there's huge tires on the back I can only get 'em to spin when it rains or if I drove through the mud. Guess the torque converter's runnin low on the torque.

stllookn · 08-17-2005, 11:50 PM

Andy...just too funny! The first sequence was pretty close! BTW...I'm glad that smoke was not from the exhaust...LOL!

68C15 · 08-18-2005, 06:58 AM

this thread title is very alluring. I saw it & couldnt click fast enough! glad to hear the Caddy stage II is working good. if it holds up for a week maybe you should buy a lottery ticket

KEH · 08-18-2005, 08:58 AM

At least you got a new avatar out of the experience anyway.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-18-2005, 09:45 AM

Powerbrake!!! Hold that sucker 'till the timer time elapses. Glad to see you got her up and running again!

**Canadian694x4** · 08-18-2005, 01:10 PM

Hard to tell from these pics but did you go ahead and mount those "500" badges on the bed side yet? Good try but can't wait to see those really smoking burnouts!

MandarinSixSeven · 08-18-2005, 01:33 PM

haha man!
That's awesome...it's hard to find someone to come take burnout pics because most people just don't understand. So, you feel like a knob asking someone "hey, wanna come take some pictures of me in my truck, doing a burnout?". At this point you get to find out if they are a true friend of not...they either go, "huhhh, why would you do that??" or if they are "meant-to-be" the answer is: "SWEEET!, Hell ya!!!" and they are in the truck before you even get to your door.

My GF actually gets excited when I ask, so I know she is meant to be!

So, I can gets beauts like these...:

LMFAO... someone photoshop a F%#D next to him on pics 1 and 2 and say "BUH BYE NOW!"

69 Short Fleet · 08-18-2005, 04:44 PM

Andy... that caddy engine must be a BLAST! I have not seen a black strip of rubber that dark in a long time

meathead95 · 08-18-2005, 05:03 PM

enjoy it for a few weeks before you try to blow the new engine up.

Longhorn Man · 08-18-2005, 09:30 PM

I've actually determined that this will be the last intentional straight up burn out. If I blow this one up, I'm going to just get an old Huffy bike and give up on it.
As far as power braking it...the brakes won't hold it still. I have yet to adjust them up and get everything right. They are good enough to drive on, but not good enough to keep like that.
It still has some issues. I keep on running out of fuel in the carb. I removed the tank, and it is sitting in the rad shop at work getting cut open and cleaned and relined. Not much junk in there, I poured in a POR15 liner in it 2 years ago, but my prep work wasn't quite perfect, so it came out a little on the crappy side. So right now, I have a fuel tank from an old air plain in the tool box mounted in the bed. Drilled a hole in the floor (ouch!) and run the line through the missing floor boards in the bed up infront of the too short bed liner. So I figured I was good to go.
NOPE.
It crapped out right as I pulled off the lot.

(
I got to looking at the fuel line, it is 3/8 COPPER line. Hmmm, gotta replace that. Any restrictions in the line will be fixed in the process too. Double score. (now I just have top go get 170 inches of hardline)
I'm also going to remove the fuel pump and see if it is possibly the culprit. It is a new napa item, only has 100 and some odd miles on it, and another hr or two of run time. I need to relocate it closer to the tank anyways. I have it mounted up on the engine where the mechanical one used to be, and electric pumps are better at pushing than pulling anyways. Even so, the pump should still be good, and I'll be a p!ssed off mo-fo if it is bad.

Maybe THEN I can put some miles on it and get it all sorted out.

Hmmm, I have a month before i need to have it operational.

Cool! I have had problems with someone shootin pics on the "smokeys" too......last one I did was in the garage, the kid tryed to shoot it, but it didnt show anything but smoke (looked like the garage was on fire

) have you ever had to scrub the rubber off the back wall? I wont say where exactly, but that little sb Chev was cranked up

crazyL

kingsolver72 · 08-19-2005, 12:04 AM

My advice to the faint at heart,if you don't have strong abs and back don't try to install a hood by yourself,because that is exactly what you are going to need.Ask me how I know.

A strong back, and being too stubborn and impatient are two other traints needed to do the hood instalation on your own.

MandarinSixSeven · 08-19-2005, 02:30 PM

I did some analysis and uncovered the hidden images from the pictures...here is what really happened that day.
