Rosie 2 my try at a PT chevelle

[634chevelle]

Hello , my name is Kris , I've drag raced for 30 years, but I got tired of NHRA crap and hung it up years ago. To do something with my time I decided to try and build a PT car. I bought a 67 chevelle ss that had most of the body work done. My plans are to build a 416 LS motor with whipple supercharge and a 4l80e transmission. I will be building and doing most of the body work myself. The first picture is of Rosie 1, I hope this PT car comes out half as good as Rosie did. Sorry about some of pics, I havent figured out how to turn them or make all same size.

[raustinss]

oh boy ....welcome, looks like this could be a fun build.

[634chevelle]

here is some pics of the frame work, boxed and rewelded complete frame, I did not realize when I bought the fab 9 that the upper control arm mounts would be 3 inches higher than stock, which totally messed up rear geometry , so to fix it I ended up making it a 4 link, the lowest hole location is the factory hole

[2ndroundko]

This is gonna be GOOD!!!

[HotRod47]

Looks like its gonna be a fun build.....

[634chevelle]

Due to the amount of money that it takes to build one of these cars, on the rear mini tub instead of buy a kit I just made my own, the piece that was cut off the left outside was reinstalled on the right inside, they actually fit very good. Where I a added the extra 2x2 to make a double frame rail I also made it possible to run wiring and fuel lines to keep it out of sight. Because I made the upper control arm mounts adjustable the stiffeners that I had bought from UMI would not work, so I made my own stiffener out of 2x2 but I had to curve it to fit under the floor.

[pittpens24]

Wow lookin' good soo far. I'll be subscribing to this

[634chevelle]

Here are some pics of how I made upper control arm mounts into 4 link mounts.

[USAZR1]

Looks like you have a pretty good start on that project.

[634chevelle]

Some pics of my mini tubs, not as nice as abc but I had to cut up anyway to square corners some to fit 20's

[Yelcamino]

Nice fab work! I like it!

[beater65]

I really dig your frame fab on rear. That's killer.


Nice work

[634chevelle]

Thank you

[634chevelle]

Here are some more pics of motor, started with new 6.2 block, callies crank and rods, mahle Pistons, lsa heads full port job, intake flowed 360 cfm, whipple 2.9 supercharger, wegner belt drive kit, wegner cam with 650 lift, last pic that's upside down is pic of me and my buddies motors , both are twins except his 427 and mine 416

[634chevelle]

Sorry about some of these pics, my phone for some reason is flipping them for some reason when I transfer them

[634chevelle]

Here is some pics of the headers I built. They are stainless 1 7/8 stepped to 2 inch primaries with a 3.5 merge collecter.

[conmax]

excellent chassis fab. looks almost as nice as a Chassis Works or Schwartz complete system. i imagine this saved some $ even if you count all your time. should handle and accelerate very well. when do you expect to complete? if these projects take several years to complete, many give up and sell incomplete, losing a lot of $.

[634chevelle]

Thanks for the compliment, I've been working on it for a year. I don't know when I willl be done everything is so expensive and my kid is in sports year round. I will Get it to start and run this year sometime. But I still have a lot of mods to go.

[Yelcamino]

Nice job on the headers! I'm looking forward to building a set for my Chevelle!

[634chevelle]

Thanks, This is the 3rd set I've done, I love the process of it.

[Paraman1]

Will your power steering pump clear the steering box in that configuration?

Looks great so far!

[634chevelle]

Here is the start of my exhaust. It's 3.5 stainless oval pipe. It's done to the mufflers , now I have to figure out how to get tailpipes done due to no clearance anywhere.

[634chevelle]

Paraman 1, yes it does clear but not by much, about an half inch of clearance . Here's a pic that kind of shows what it looks like.

[634chevelle]

Paraman 1 , I forgot to say that the motor has adjustable mount set all the way back. Also I set the lower mount back 1 to 1 1/2 inches back to get motor as close to firewall as possible. It was dumb luck that it cleared but when I got kit from Wegner he said I may have to put on pump with remote reservoir. I can run what I got but I wil have to move return to back side of pump reservoir .

[pittpens24]

I had the same issue with my exhaust and decided to do turnouts in front of the rear tire. Man I could not be happier with the look and the sound is insane. Since you already have ovals - check out Spintech for mufflers unless that is where you bought the oval pipe from already lol. I have a set on mine and like I said - it sounds insane.

[634chevelle]

Here's some pics of the firewall

[634chevelle]

After I slid motor back to firewall, trans tunnel had to be altered to clear 4l80e.

[634chevelle]

Well I think I lost my mind, this is my solution to my tailpipe issue that I came up with. The height of the floor will not be higher than the original center part of the floor unless there is an unforeseen problem that I didn't think of. The tip thru the sides are not done yet. I haven't decided how to finish yet.

[1sikride]

Drooollllll

[2ndroundko]

OMG!!! that exhaust is a thing of beauty. awesome build. What primer are you using btw?

[Yelcamino]

That's an interesting way to route the exhaust. I like it! :cool:

[634chevelle]

Thanks for the compliments. 2ndroundko , I'm not sure what btw means ( sorry I'm not to smart) , the car was primered when I bought it and haven't touch that part yet.

[Rebob]

Some very nice fab work ! It’s lookin great sure would like one of those super chargers !

[pittpens24]

Really cool fab stuff goin on here - keep at it man - looks sick!

[634chevelle]

Couple more pics of exhaust

[2ndroundko]

Btw=by the way lol

[634chevelle]

Got the floor finished covering the exhaust. The tunnels covering the pipes are same height as the origin center part was, hopefully I can make a seat work.

[634chevelle]

Here's some pics of what I've been doing lately. I put engine oil cooler in left front wheel well, still waiting on oil filter adapter with built in oil primer from Peterson. I also mount a 2017 camaro steering column and wheel. I'm not excited about camaro part but really like the wheel. It's got tilt and telescope, all the switches necessary to run everything and paddle shifters. Best part is that it was only $250 for everything .

[634chevelle]

Some more pics

[634chevelle]

Couple pics of remote oil filter adapter with a built in primer, should work great after oil changes and after sitting over winter.

[rixtrix1]

Project looks great. Nice looking headers! Notice the NE plates; I'm originally from Gering! I don't think mine will be as nice as yours.

[634chevelle]

Thanks for compliment, I live in Ponca NE.

[634chevelle]

Just got my new cluster in from dakota digital. It's a brand new release for them. The quality is top notch. Now I just got to get it mounted in the dash. Some modification will be required. Haha

[634chevelle]

Started cutting in cluster

[634chevelle]

Got the cluster mounted , now I have to fill in the sides.

[jmking9]

Well done! That looks really clean.

[634chevelle]

Thanks

[634chevelle]

Finished off mounting cluster

[jetmech442]

WOW 634, that is some clean fab right there. That is going to be a great looking dash, can't wait to see the finished product.

[Motown 454]

Nice job! It looks great.

[634chevelle]

Been away for a few days, thanks for the compliments mowtown 454 and jetmech442. I'm wiring right now hoping to get car started in couple weeks.

[Bygblok]

Awesome build. Subscribed........might get an idea or three for my 66 Buick build!

[pittpens24]

Wow - looking back through your thread I missed quite a bit. Man this thing is coming alone nicely and quick too! Well done!

[634chevelle]

Thanks pittpens24, looking back it's going pretty fast but at the time of doing it, it seems to take forever. Here's a pick if dash all cleaned up and a little primer to keep from rusting till I get time to do body work.

[634chevelle]

Here's some pics of power steering cooler I stacked on top of engine oil cooler. Oil cooler has twin 5 inch fans on it so they should move enough air for both.

[634chevelle]

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since last post, been doing a lot of sporting events with family. What I have been doing to car is kind of boring stuff. Fixing problem areas in body work that was started by someone else. Here are some pics of what I got done. Also I built a water tank that goes in the rear for the supercharger intercooler. I also did have car running before I totally disassembled it to do body work.

[634chevelle]

More pics

[andrewb70]

Making great progress!!!

Andrew

[jetmech442]

Such a fan of your work. Keep pushing man, everything is looking sooo nice and very unique.

[634chevelle]

Thanks guys! This is definitely the hardest part of the build for me, fab, mechanical and electrical are much easier and fun to me.

[Yelcamino]

Great progress!

[634chevelle]

Tired of doing body work so I did a little fab work. What are your thoughts? Something a little different, more for show than go.

[634chevelle]

Got tired of body work and went back to some fab work, making some bbc valve covers fit my ls.

[634chevelle]

I’m having a hard time finding a place for the coil packs, I ended up mounting them on the firewall, I don’t want to see them so I had to build a cover for them, between the cover and my valve covers I should be able to hide all of my wiring to keep motor looking real clean. My only concern is if emi will be a problem.

[634chevelle]

Redid exhaust tips and made covers which need cleaned and polished. I started making cold air intake with 5” pipe and covers for engine oil cooler and power steering cooler. Also installed new style hood latch out of a 2018 Silverado and striker out of 2018 traverse.

[Motown 454]

Beautiful job! I love it.

[634chevelle]

Beautiful job! I love it.

Thanks, I really love doing this stuff but I’m starting to get a little impatient because I have been working on this thing since 2015. Probably doesn’t help that every part of the car has been altered.

[634chevelle]

More updates finally, been doing body work (struggle), finally going to get painted in about a month, finished making close out panels for front, installed new style hood latch , latch out of 2018 Silverado, striker out of 2018 traverse, had to weld bottom to trunk lid to make straight, bought new calipers from z06, painted bottom of car with rapture, I did not like passenger door, did some digging and found some rust that previous guy had covered up when this project was started, had to replace most of bottom of door and installed new door skin, cleaned frame up and sent off to powder coat

[Motown 454]

Wow great work, it's looking good. If you want to feel better about how long you' been building this check the date I started mine. LOL Great job.

[Alwhite00]

Great build. That firewall turned out amazing. What color are you going with?

[634chevelle]

Thanks for the compliment Motown 454, you definitely have been at it a lot longer than me. I have always had something fun to drive but this 5 year break is getting to me . Your car looks very nice, should be a blast to drive!

[634chevelle]

Alwhite 00 I’m going to paint it the same color as my drag car, I know that’s pretty lame but I love the color. Blue mist poly

[Alwhite00]

Nice color.

[IMPALAMAN1]

coolest valve cover conversion i have seen yet! going to be a badass car.

Dig the color!

[634chevelle]

Impalaman1 thanks for compliment, I think it should look pretty good when done, it hides the injectors and all the wiring. The motor should look real clean when done.

[634chevelle]

I’m finally getting to put some stuff together for the last time hopefully. Put almost all of the drivetrain together except for trans, waiting on torque converter and have to finish painting trans. I milled the trans pan to get rid of logo and to make it so I can sand ribs after base coat to give it color contrast . All the suspension is UMI stage 5 kit and brakes are Kore 3 ZO6. Motor is my own 416 with Wegner supercharger, cam and drive kit. Trans will be 4l80e with parts from Jakes performance. Torque converter is from Protorque. Rear end is a regular 9 inch with trutrac and 35 spline axles from Moser. The body should be off anytime now to get painted. I ordered wheels from Boze, they said 6-8 weeks. With any luck I should be able to at least take it for a cruise later this fall. (Fingers crossed)

[cobraace2]

WOW WOW WOW fantastic

[634chevelle]

Thanks Cobraace2.

[rixtrix1]

Looking great so far. Mine is Mist Blue from the factory. Your's looks like a shade between Mist and Marina blues. I like it, not too light or too dark!

[mean buzzen half dozen]

Very nice build!

I like the BBC valve covers.
What are you doing to the trans pan?

[634chevelle]

Thanks rixtrix1 and mean buzzen half dozen for compliments. Trans pan got milled . Here is the final results. Just waiting for torque converter then trans can be installed.

[634chevelle]

I had a little time so l put the rest of the exhaust on to see what it looked like from above. Also putting some of front end together while I’m waiting for car to get painted.

[634chevelle]

It’s been a little while since last post, got tired of body work so I sent body off to get finished and painted. I got a little more done on chassis, ran some ac lines and all brake lines on the frame. Painted inside the body to make all one color before it went away. My emblems showed up for grille, tail panel and front fenders. I think the came out awesome thanks billet badges !! Also my rims got done and mounted some rubber. On the back I just put some used tires I had because as soon as I can drive this thing I’m pretty sure the tires will be melted off!! Thanks to Boze for the rims they look awesome!! 20x12 rears and 18x10 fronts. I rolled all cars out because I did a massive garage cleaning, way overdue.

[634chevelle]

Here’s a pic of Rosie 1 and Rosie 2

[634chevelle]

Whole body is out getting finish I’ve been polishing stainless trim, so much fun! Made my exhaust tips and polished. Started on my dash again, cut in ac vents out of 2019 blazer. Cut in new ac control head from Dakota Digital. Cut in hood release out of 2018 pickup.

[634chevelle]

Also had gas tank powder coated from ricks tanks and I polished the tank straps.

[634chevelle]

Dash is almost ready for paint, just have to make sure still fits in car when I get it back. Got dash pad and inserts all wrapped and got and emblem made that came out awesome, just have to paint and polish it. Part or the car got painted last week and looks killer, can’t wait to see in the sun!!

[mean buzzen half dozen]

Your car is awesome & your FAB skills EXCELLENT!!!!

MBHD

[Motown 454]

Wow! nice fab skills, I like how the dash is coming out. Beautiful color.

[634chevelle]

Thank you Motown 454 and mean buzzer half dozen

[TUBED]

Did you machine your Rosie dash emblem or perhaps it's a Billet Badges custom made piece? How does the hardware attach it to the dash? Nice color and dash work.

[csouth]

That's a beautiful color.....

[634chevelle]

Thanks Tubed and csouth for compliments. The emblem was done oreana custom machine. They did an awesome job, took only 1 day and cost $80 shipped. I have to paint it then polish the top of the letters. The other badges (42-39-56 and cross flags) were done billet badges which turned out awesome also but they are completely finished.

[BBSkylark]

What an awesome build 634! You have done an amazing job with it and I personally love the attention to detail you give.

I have a couple of questions:
- When you did your firewall did you skin over the old or cut it all out and weld in new steel?
- When working on your frame did you weld it to a frame table to keep it true? If not any tips? I will be mini tubbing my GS and adding support throughout like you did.

[634chevelle]

BBskylark thanks for compliments. The firewall is just skinned with I want to say 16 gauge metal. When I did the frame I did not tie to table, I know that’s not the correct way but I didn’t have a table. When I welded I did short sections to not get to hot to keep warping to a minimum. I took measurements before and after to make sure everything was ok.

[BBSkylark]

Thanks 634, I was thinking along the same lines as you on that. Looking forward to seeing yours done!

[634chevelle]

Little update, got the dash all done except for a couple dust nibs that need taken care of. I know I should have have done it first but I got a little excited to see all the together. I also moved the glove box latch release to underneath . I also had my cluster updated by switching the tach and speedo. I think the cluster looks much better like this. Thanks to Dakota Digital for helping me out. I’m mad at myself for not telling them to take mph out of speedo and having it say Rosie. I think that would have been a nice touch. I also have 3 sets of exhaust trim rings cut out, trying to decide which design to go with. I think for now I’m going to use the scalloped ones and when I get the middle ones completed I will see what I think. The top ones need polished and are probably my last choice for now.

[thumper877]

Dash looks beautiful nice job

[634chevelle]

Thanks thumper877

[634chevelle]

The painting is done. Just have to cut and buff now. I’m suppose to get body back next week. I’m super excited to finally get to put this thing together for hopefully the last time. It’s been a long 6years since I started this project. I’m ready to go for a drive!!

[634chevelle]

Making a little headway, got the body back from paint and set on frame. I noticed after I got all bolted down that the trans dipstick tube is hitting floor😔. I must have made tube when body was out for paint, I must have thought I knew where it needed to be but was wrong. Started doing all the wiring for everything, was going ok but running into some issues with everything on the steering column because of how the new car are wired. I got headlights figured out but need to do some more thinking on how to make wipers work . I also just put the taillights together and on. Had to do some grinding on bezel chrome to make fit around my wing mounts. Also found out that I messed up my back rim backspace. I cannot believe I screwed that’s up! That will cost me! Put down all the sound deadner on floor, firewall and trunk.

[David Sloan]

Beautiful car !
Thank you for sharing!

[634chevelle]

Thanks David Sloan

[andrewb70]

Great progress. Love the color and the color of the wheels

[634chevelle]

Thanks andrewb70, I’m pretty happy with the color combination also.

[ProTouring442]

Nice!

Is the frame bracing a kit or did you fab it up?

[634chevelle]

Protouring442 it’s just something I made up.

[634chevelle]

It’s been a while since I posted any updates. I ran across a deal I couldn’t pass up. I bought 4 chevelles, 3 66ss and a 67 body. I sold 3 cars and kept one 66ss for my kid. By the pics you will see why it took a little bit. So now as I try to finish my car I’m starting to work on another car for a frame off resto. The cars came with tons of parts, some are nos, enough chrome to do 3-5 cars.

[thumper877]

Wow all the barn finds aren't gone lol. That was a awesome find. I would need a bigger garage. Looks like the one ur keeping is pretty solid. U have a pic of a couple of engines. Any luck on matching numbers?

[Vimes]

Pretty nice. Factory trim still in the original GM packaging? That's like bags of gold there.

[shelteredchevelle]

I drooled a little bit...

[WildCherry66]

Everything is looks amazing! GREAT work! What is the paint color called? Looks very very similar to the Frostbite Blue of my 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody.

[Motown 454]

Almost had to get the heart paddles out seeing this. My heart is still beating a little fast. Nice score! 66 SS was my first car and the other I looked at when I got the Camaro

[634chevelle]

No factory numbers matching stuff��. The car we are keeping is pretty nice, needs normal stuff. The color of my car is cyber blue off Mitsubishi around 2010 I think.

[thumper877]

If any of your engines are a 454 and you wanna sell one give me a pm. Thanks

[lwilliams]

this thing is going top be a beast!

[634chevelle]

One was a 1972 454 but I sold it already

[thumper877]

One was a 1972 454 but I sold it alreadyDang it. That would of worked. O well search goes on. What's ur plans for the new chevelle? Stock or another full build.

[Wraith]

Nice build and great find on the other cars

[634chevelle]

Thumper877, the new car will be a full build with 6.0 ls , 4l80e and 12 bolt with 4:11 gears , tmi interior, thanks.

[634chevelle]

This is what I’ve gotten done lately. All of the exterior of car is done except for wing (waiting on paint). I’m trying to drive car before the weather turns crappie. I tried going for drive last weekend but trans wouldn’t shift and had no vss. Took trans back apart and found that it was missing reluctor ring for output speed sensor. I converted trans from 4wd to 2wd and thought it used parking paw lugs for speed sensor (NOT). Parts are supposed to be here tomorrow so I can put together Saturday and hopefully for a drive!! It’s been a long 6 years. Thanks for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it!!

[thumper877]

Mabye I missed it. What's the 42 39 56 on the tail panel?

[634chevelle]

If you like ac/dc then it will all make sense

[thumper877]

I do like ac/dc and did not pick up on that. Very cool

[ProTouring442]

Beautiful!

Just a suggestion, but I would paint the "grill" areas around the headlights to match the way the grill itself is painted.

Bt again, absolutely beautiful!

[WildCherry66]

Droool. Looks so good!

[634chevelle]

Good eye Pro-Touring 442, I never noticed that. I will add it to the list for this winter. Thanks wildcherry66.

[634chevelle]

Finally got to go for a drive. Put on around 75 miles, everything went pretty good, have to make adjustment to rear end , I didn’t notice rear end isn't quite centered . Should be easy fix. It’s also a little loud inside due to interior not done yet and because of how exhaust is done.

[Wraith]

Looking good!

[634chevelle]

A few pics from today

[Woodsie]

Awesome!

[thumper877]

Awesome pics. Car is amazing and now ur driving it makes it even better. Enjoy it

[Yelcamino]

The Chevelle looks great! Happy to see you get it out on the road! :woot:

[Just 1 More]

42-39-56 you could say she got it all

[cam1968327]

A few pics from today

Love the stance, wheel and tire combo! Nice job!

[634chevelle]

e
Thanks for all the compliments. Here is a pic from last weekend, I took up to show painter, first time he got to see it all together.

[thumper877]

That is a beautiful car and pic

[ryeguy2006a]

Beautiful car! Love those wheels.

[634chevelle]

Had small photo shoot for a local calendar last weekend.

[634chevelle]

In the last 2 weekends I’ve been able to put on 500 miles, trying to shake out minor problems, also stretch her legs and got up to 120 for brief time.

[Motown 454]

I love seeing you get it out and enjoying it. It looks great and I'll bet it boogies! Excellent job!

[thumper877]

In the last 2 weekends I’ve been able to put on 500 miles, trying to shake out minor problems, also stretch her legs and got up to 120 for brief time.Wow where do u live that the speed limit is 120 lol. Thats awesome and pics look nice.

[634chevelle]

Finally got the last pieces of the puzzle for the outside of the car. I know not many people like wings on the back of these cars but this wing is different than most , I love it!! Let me know what you think, I can take it. I was also wanting to kind of copy the wing on my race car because this is supposed to be the street version.

[634chevelle]

Forgot this pic

[72cutlassS]

Amazing build/thread. I will have to go back through a few times, great fab work.

[634chevelle]

Thanks 72cutlassS

[634chevelle]

Finally some more updates, my attempt at making a center console, fixed steering wheel air bag and wrapped it, installed custom emblem and ring, made sub box and installed radio system. Also got some different front seats from Braum. I love how they feel sitting in them. Now I just have to make a new rear seat to match.

[JFStAmour]

Wow, super happy you bumped this, or I might have never seen it! Really original and so well executed.

[thumper877]

Console turned out super nice for first time. Looks like you had a little interior experience. Looking awesome

[Vimes]

Hate making this suggestion after all that center console work but, if you like the new front seats, how about a second set for the back? Make it a 2+2 instead of a 5 seater, and extend the center console down the length of the car. No idea if that would even be possible without major metal work on the floor though, it might require cutting the floor pan out and lowering it a few inches.

[Jmantx]

I'm late to the party, but wow! Awesome build! If you don't mind, what engine management system did you use, and do the paddle shifters actually work to control the 4l80e?

[634chevelle]

The seats are too tall and the exhaust tunnels would be in the way. Thanks for the compliments and ideas!

- - - Updated - - -

Using Holley dominator Efi and yes paddles work.

[Joris69velle]

Looks great.
Whats the colour name of this blue? Is it a gm color or custom? Thanks

[634chevelle]

This the color

[634chevelle]

I scaled car last night. Anyone have any guesses on weight and percentages?

[Vimes]

42 percent to the rear, 56 percent to the front, +-2%, and 3900lbs total, of course. What else could it have been? :twothumbs

[634chevelle]

Very close Vimes

[634chevelle]

Here’s some pics of the finished engine bay. Pretty happy with the way it turned out.

[634chevelle]

In the pics I didn’t have pcv valve in , that’s the open hole on right valve cover.

[Motown 454]

That looks amazing! Great job!

[634chevelle]

Made rear deck cover couple weeks ago, pretty happy how it turned out

[thumper877]

Looks sweet. Very nice job

[andrewb70]

Nice work on the package tray!

Andrew

[Motown 454]

Wow nice job! That looks Sweet.

[steveracer33]

Beautifull job! the stance is perfect i had a 67 ss back in the 80's and wish i still had it

[634chevelle]

Thanks mowtown 454, andrewb70, and steveracer33 for the nice words. I finally got my car done. I finished the trunk area and back seat area. I decided to do a rear seat delete and put in a roll bar that has detachable front bars to take out when just cruising and put in when racing. I also got to take to an indoor invite only car show last. The car got a lot of interest and it just missed peoples choice by 5 votes. Pretty good considering it went up against professional built cars that are not drove and I put on 3k last summer. I’m very pleased with the final results. Now it’s time for fun and racing!!

[Joris69velle]

Looks amazing. Nice work

[ryeguy2006a]

Beautiful! Love those wheels.

[Rucumn]

Amazing work, dig many of your fab ideas in the engine bay.....I am considering borrowing the engine oil cooler mounting location you used!

Oh and the interior work....especially dash & column is phenomenal!

[634chevelle]

Thanks Rucumn for the kind words. Let me know how the cooler works for you. I basically have my car done, I’ve been waiting for a new valve body for my transmission for my paddle shifts so I have engine braking on downshifts from Jakes performance, it should be a blast to drive when I get it. I’ve also started on my kids car. We sold his old car which was a 66 with 5.3 and 4l60e. It was a great driver car but needed body work. I ran across a good deal on a 66 SS so the build starts. Here are some pics of what has been done so far.

[Rucumn]

Wow you make the metal work process look easy;-) It gets a lot easier after the first one doesn't it!

Will you do the same frame mods as your '67?

[Motown 454]

Thanks Motown 454 and Rucumn. Last night I got to have fun with Rosie 2 for the first time. Made six passes with a best of 10.73 at 128.50. Best 60 foot was 1.64 . All runs were on low boost and made on true street tires. Here are a few photos I can’t get videos to load.

I couldn’t believe that my real street tires would hold but at least I was running on low boost and 3:25 rear gear helps a lot . I loaded a couple pics but I couldn’t get any videos to load.
