'56 RAT 1/4 miler
I don't know why I ever spent years on previous builds! Detail, chrome, billet, blah blah blah
This RAT project has been fun, fast and the running train/electrical/mechanical are as reliable as any I've ever built. YOU GOTTA BUILD ONE OF THESE This is a strictly hands on rig. Some street time, but lots of track time. I have an appointment to get the drivers side fenderwell header fixed, bungs welded in and then it's connect up time to the dyno test equipment (not the actual Dyno) and a break-in is going to happen. After the break in miles are done, THEN it goes back for more tweaking and eventually working up to a few full pulls on the Dyno. This month has seen the fuel system, brake system, emer. brake, cooling system, complete electrical wiring and test of all those components are done. Windshield went in last night. Took about 2 1/2 hours and I'm not totally sold on it, but damn close for a RAT. later guys and gals |
