I just enjoy a visit with you and Mobes in the shop. This AMC is coming along nicely. I especially like that you're expanding this car's performance envelope, so to speak. Looking forward to seeing this car out on the road bringing more smiles. Aloha!
I love your Javelin and it's so inspiring to follow your efforts to turn a racecar into a street car. I did follow your during Sick week really fun to see how you got there! 😂
Hey buddy it was awesome to see ya at sick week the car is very cool and was wicked to see Cruising through FL. I’m the guy who came up to ya soon as you pulled in on my mini bike I know you were busy just wanted to say hi.
Y'all need to make a showing at The Freedom Factory for the 2.4 hours of LeMullets and Cleetus and Cars... Would love to see them ogle an AMC and see what old school is like!! Back in High School a bunch of guys were driving AMC's.. Good times....
I think that car is awesome . Love to see you and your Dad hanging out and working together. My Dad has passed on but he is the reason I got the car bug .
Hello, might you be aware of a Friday, May 31, 2024 Great AMC Day car show and race being held at Edgewater Raceway Park, Cleves, Cincinnati Ohio where there will be ( 14 ) of only ( 53 ) every produced 1969 AMC COPO Hurst Super Stock Drag cars ? More than have ever been together in one place in 55 years ! Hope to see you all there.
My family was family friends with Donnie Johanson (son of Howard Johanson of Howard's cams) for 25 years before he passed away. My dad retired his Anglia Drag car with a big block Chevy that has Howard aluminum rods in it from racing and made it a street car. My dad was worried about the rods having issues. Donnie assured him that there was nothing to worry about. Those same rods have 15 years of 9 second drag racing on them at 14.5:1 compression and now 30 years of street driving, and the engine was upgraded to a mooneyham supercharger on top of that about 10 years ago. He took the engine apart and put smaller compression pistons for the supercharger, rods measured and looked perfect.
I have heard for 50 years that you cant rely on aluminum rods on the street because they get heated and cooled so many times that it induces fatigue and eventual failure. Dont know if its true.
It sure looks faster than 10 sec LOL. You may have survived Sick Week. Real test probably comes middle of this summer in GA though. Back in my day we said days were hotter'n'Gawjuh asphalt. And that's a real thing! Hooo.
I was once loolking a bit @ race car projects to build back for the street, because it seemed like it (can be) good value for money, regarding how nice things you get..... I could not have afforded something of this class, but still nice to see a video on the topic.. In this car, nothing is left of the original inner structure & hidden compartments, right? It is the outer shell peices attached to a tubular frame? I.e. all rust in hidden compartments (if there were any) is also eliminated? That is also a good thing with this kind of build...
You guys did a great job, that javelin is an absolute beauty. I would love to have a street version with that paint scheme, it just looks so cool to me. Keep up the great work fellas 👌🤘🇺🇸👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jacob your delegate a lot more work now. Not sure why you’re wanting to drive a drag car on the Street. After all the work you did on it to make it a fast car. Wishing you much success. 🎉 💯👍👊
Told you those 4 link mounts weren't strong enough. (saw it on 1320) Everyone owes the oval tube to Holman Moody I believe. If I remember right they developed that for their Torino NASCAR car along with the long tube header that all the tubes sat side by side and went into a flat collector. You dropping that collector on your foot.. I had a pressure treated 4X4 land on mine the other day, right on my big toe. Unfortunately steel toe boots start at $179 for size 15 and that's $109 more than I have. As a guy that went to college for TIG welding let me just say.. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER try to bridge a gap with a TIG! You want those pieces touching, if you can't do that break out a torch and braze it. (which actually is better for exhaust as it handles heat cycling without cracking FAR better) When you weld metal together with TIG you want there to be no gap at all or at max 1/16th of an inch, gap filling just makes it extremely brittle, especially on stainless that gets brittle at high heat when exposed to the air anyways hence the "sugaring" on the backside of the weld when not back purged. You can also braze using a TIG torch with a bare silica bronze rod too but I haven't done that, I'm not sure how you get it hot enough but not molten with a TIG. What the hell is with the lifted 4x4 Caddy?
Yup, we found that out for sure haha And that’s very cool history, thanks for sharing that! We cover everything about that Caddy some older videos! It’s a dang good time haha OFF-ROADING a LIFTED '67 Cadillac DeVille on 39.5" SUPER SWAMPERS! Death Wish Sallys Speed Shop Ep19 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jZp4HXDNzuM.html
@@OldTimeRevival By work do you mean make is so it's not a poser? It shouldn't be hard to grab a NP205 and extension housing that'll bolt right up to a standard TH350.. the 71 FJ40 in our garage has one in it.
Cool 10 miles is good back in 1979 I had a 69 Camaro drag car my trailer broke the drag strip was 30 miles away so I drove it at 5:57 gears with a spool and a big block yeah I took the back roads but still is challenging it didn't like it but I didn't care here's a 10-second car those are the good old days No registration or Insurance of course have a great day thanks for the video
I always ♥ those cars but you need to move and add your gages you are too distracted driving! Get one of those digital screen readers sorry for my lack of knowledge, but you know what I'm talking about. Has you Speed, oil, water, all computer control.
Technically they do have a certain amount of times they can be heat cycled and ran in general before they need replaced as a maintenance item, but they’re a lot tougher than people give them credit for.
