That LS is sweet!

 

You have to allow pot smokin, coke snortin, meth burnin, pill poppin activities or turnout will be low!

 

Not the day of the meet you didn't. We didn't go anywhere.....Well, maybe in the afternoon.....We went to Todd's. Much more fun than going to Jared.

Nice pics Jeff. Thanks for posting em! We would like to do this think once every 3 months...but we'll see. I wanna plan another one for 3 months out...But I really have to look at our schedule. And it may still be too hot then.

 

 

How embarrasing...Look at that spaghetti mess under the dash of my '67. :blush: Now I know where my next weekend is going..

 

It's mine. And it USED to be somewhat quick....but not anymore. Now I think it would be lucky to run a 12 second 1/4 mile on the bottle...and high 13's off. It's just a 302 with some stock heads on it and a B-cam. Oh yeah, and a 125 shot now....C-6 and 4:11's. But the 4:11's are going to get yanked and replaced with 3:40's. I'm giving it to my daughter for her HS graduation gift. So I had to slow it down a bit and make it more streetable. I still need a larger radiator also. I think a 3 core would be fine for it....Once she graduated out of college, she's moving to Seattle, so she won't need a 4 core up there. And she'll be driving my wife's vert for a while till then.

I WANT to change out the C-6 for an AOD also....To help with the streetability also. But $$$ is holding me up right now.


Oh, and Tommy, this gives you a look at my cage too.

 

I see

not knockin you work but I'm a certified welder and I'm glad my life dont depend on those welds. Tube welding isnt as easy as it sounds, if done right
I will build another one later in life. I want 68 Pro touring / cruiser set-up with a turbo ls1 6 speed

 

Well, Tommy, the tube is only so thick...A good weld should not be larger than the material it is welded to. (I was also a certified welder when I put this cage in. AWS cert as well as Washington Association of Building Officials {WABO} cert. which has higher standards than AWS) The welds should be the same size or slightly smaller. There is no need for a 1/4 inch weld on this thin of material. And trust me, these welds are burnt in deep. No undercut in them, No porosity, no boogering, good penitration, and no bulging at all. Please, tell me what you consider so bad about them? A good weld is the right size (not too large, and not too small) and not overly ground out. There was only root pass preperation done to these, no grinding any passes out, and I would put them under the X-ray any day to check for penetration.

 

Maybe its the sun...I'm talkin about the one where the door bar cup is attached to the main hoop, just below the foam. Bottom looks wrapped but as it comes up the side and across top looks like maybe there was a gap and it didnt fill in. What did you weld it in with?

 

I see where you're talking about. Yeah, it's the picture. The weld wraps and overlaps. I think I used a Miller at the shop I worked at. .035 wire feed with 75/25. But It's been about 10 years now....So I may be wrong. Most of the shops I worked at had Millers though. I don't like the Lincolns as much anyway.
