I have been working on this for the past 4 years to go from a 12 sec. street car to a Huh??? race car.  I cant wait to fill in the question marks with a time and MPH.  No Perk the hood aint gonna be painted by March 1.  But the rest is at least ready for testing. Grin Grin

Shortly after this video was made Doug was found....  You can see from the pic below it was a hard chase but he is now safely back indoors...

Nice, was there sound or is my work machine just screwed up?

Either way it looks nice and rolling under it's own power is a good thing...

There is sound for the whole thing and a bit of dialog in the beginning.

Thanks Perk, I'm glad they caught me.  Kiss I really had to GO bad! Grin

Ahh, I guess I need to rewatch it at home then...

Shadow - I am sure he has already run the numbers and has an idea of where he might be, but that is nothing like going out and doing it...

 thats true SLOW, just have a site that can estimate the et-mph extremely close, tried it with BILLS' #'s & it was almost exactly what the car runs.  from the original post, it sounded like MAD wasn't sure of the et-mph.  if you give me your #s will see how close it comes to your actual #'s   SHADOW   Wink Wink Wink

Thanks guys!  I know that now the learning begins!  I haven't driven "stupid fast" in a long time so I'll probably be re-learnin all that too.  Don't want to wind up stupid dead.  The goodyear's I actually bought from Brian Plasterer back when it was drag radial or nothin.  The car is, unfortunately, not DR legal (BMF Heads).  So it will probably be AMI to learn and start and hopefully more.  Got my new tow vehicle ready (new to me) and I'll be back from a business trip 2 days before the track opens.  Still need to paint the hood.........  Coaching my sons team will slow things down at first but I will make all efforts I can to drive it like I stole it.  Afro

Car looks and sounds great.  Good luck this season.  That 69' would look real good with the other D/R cars.  They need a Yellow 69' Chevelle.   Wink

 REDGAR, you didn't say if those predictions were close to your ACTUAL times. i did some figures off BILLS' past runs, & if this is fairly accurate , can get the car to a 10.00X on the first qualifying pass !!! getting it to the .000 will be the TRICKY part.     SHADOW    Wink Wink Wink
