I figured since they are completly open the bend wouldnt cause too much trouble and a little backpressure is good right? Im not for sure going to use these headers anyway since I know a sound pollution ticket is coming everytime it leaves the driveway.

Hey Pro, what's the deal? That's an automatic!!!! Thought for sure you'd have a Jericho behind that beast!!!!!! I think they sent you the wrong transmission!!!!!!! Looks nice, who made it and what all did ya get for innards?

Dave I'm just an old guy. So I need an automatic.
This is the description off their site. This one has an aluminum step pan though.
ROSSLER 210.

Sounds like a good one Z!! Lots lighter spinning mass too. That's really got to help!

I'm hoping so Dave. It's out of a 6 sec. top sportsman car from CO. Rossler has the history on it and says it was always taken care of & owner never cut corners on rebuilds. He had 2 -210's he sold & is going to a clutch set-up of some kind. It's got 10 pases on the last freshen-up. I couldn't pass up the price. I won't be pushin' it as hard as a T/S car, so it should be plenty stout for me.

Pro, I was just wondering about your car the other day. What is your target date for the first run?

Don

That's the million dollar question. Being a 1 man sign shop I don't get much time to work on it. Customers have to come first.

Well, started on the front of the Camaro, just a bit of tin bending so far. Still have some shaping to do and a lot more fabricating to do, then sit back and decide if I even like it.

Got one fender on Tom's coupe for a test fit. Had to put some patch panels in to replace some rusted spots, coming along fairly well....

Dave,
The coupe is lookun good.
I'll be working tomorrow, my day off, putting "Patch Pannels" in a kitchen wall to keep the cock rouches out.
Planning on going to a car show/swap meet here in Orlando on Ground Hog's Day and then before heading home in early March I'll be going over to Bike Week in Daytona, want to test drive a Yamaha FJR sport touring bike.

I've been out of it awhile Tom....what's the FJR???? An adult version of a crotch rocket or?????? Got my eye on a Suzuki Bandit,,, low miles with a present owner that scared the poo-poo out of himself with it last summer!!!!!!

Dave is that a little Talladega look coming on the camaro front end . I like the change and are you just punting or is there a scetch you have of it.

I like the automatic pro, better to drive when your drinking an expresso or have a cheeseberger to eat! I was wondering if you wanted me to pitch-in on the second seat, say for upholstrey or something? Your car should haul the mail with that tranny Pro, very cool.

The "Maro" is looking good Dave, it does kind of have that Taladega look, I now understand. Your changing it into a ford arn't you?!!! I am really loving the T coupe Dave, thats going to be a sharp car. What style are you going after with it?

What size tubing did you use on the frame rails? Thats a hugh motor, I like it, should really scoot that light car. Did you make the dash from scratch, looks good.

Just another one of those sketches at the coffee shop!!!

After going thru the car this Winter, I finally have it to the point of all that remains to do is fire it up.

Oh My God Pro60, have you gone all out professional on us?! That girl has become a true fire breathing monster! What kind of times will that car be running this year? That has to be one of the most awesome engines I have seen! Am I seeing 2 stages of nos? There is no distributor either is there? Very cool!

Late last season we got it down to 8.13 at 171mph. It took us just about the entire season to get the tune-up to where it needed to be, then we ran out of track time. It's not like we can get tips from other racers, what works for others just doesn't work for us. We stopped using the 10.5 tires in favor of bigger (wider) ones. We changed the stall on the converter to a higher number so, that combined with the bigger tire will allow us to pour on the power a little sooner.

There are two actve stages with a total of about 700 hp, with a third plenum stage if the need for speed rears it's ugly head.
