[Travis B]

Why do cows sleep standing up?

whats funny is bob will probably amswer that?

[Steve Chryssos]

.....I'm trying to get Jeff Isaacs to get on here with his yellow 69 Camaro that was in PHR a few months back..It holds several records at Maxton and he regularly drives it on the street around here. It's a budget build that is very fast and cool. Rabbit did the chassis and suspension.....

Yeah get on that. We need more streetfighters around here. And that car's meaner and nastier than most.

I'm sure.

they have approved the tires and wheels that are on it. We're talking to BBS about some wheels for competition. The tires that are on it are rated over 200..they come on Carrera GT's. Brakes are Red Devil 15" front and rear..ceramic coated titanium rotors..gearing is fine..342 with a .73 6th..waiting to get the rear end back..Rockland didn't have the housing for the over 3 ratio gear set,,I had to take mine out and send it to them..We are installing the computer etc now..not driven yet... I don't know much about cows..I'm a sheep man myself. Goats if I want some strange

Since were on the subject of Sheeps.

Voted Best Joke of the Year in Australia

Kiwi walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says:
"Darling, this is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache."

His girlfriend is lying in bed and replies:
"I think you'll find that's a sheep, you idiot."

The man says:
" I think you'll find I wasn't talking to you."

great..do you know the difference between Mitch Jagger and a scottish Sheep herder? Mitch says hey you get off my cloud,,
Scotish sheepherder says Hey McCloud..get off my ewe

in case some of you don't know..an ewe is a sheep..and that isn't some redneck term either

[Bob Johnson]

Bob what was wrong with the main hoop that was in the car? Was it the carbon fiber inlays the reason?

carbon inlays were OK since we pressed a 1 1/4 tube inside it..Main hoop requires a
1 3/4 OD 120 wall tube..ours was 1 1/2 120 wall. we will put a bolt in 1 3/4 beside the other..the rest was OK

[F70t/a]

any info on how the sectioning was done on the cuda? I read the post alan did, but i'm confussed on where it was cut on the main shell.

[Bob Johnson]

I emailed Alan to give you an answer. I contacted Jeff Isaacs to put his Camaro on the site..he's going to try tonight. I have a friend over here that's doing a 65 Fastback Mustang for a celeb..put an 04 or 05 firewall and floors, with one of his front ends and a 05 straight axle Mustang rears..going to run a mustang mod motor..just not sure which one..gonna have abs and traction control..it's kind of a secret..he will post on here shortly..this guy is pretty dang cool..Steve, call me I want Johnny Hunkins to get this car. I just found out about it..it'll be neat...I know Johnny's out of the country

Keith Turk from the ECTA Maxton N. C. came by Alan Johnson's shop to inspect the Cuda and advise us what needed to be done to get it to pass inspection for a 200 + MPH run. We are going to put in a supplemental bolt in main hoop for the cage, install a window net, add another fire system for under the hood, get a chute..we already made provisions to mount it..secure the front and rear windscreens, racing seat..few other misc and sundry items..Hoping to have it ready for the first meet that Hot Rod Magazine will cover..I think Hunkins is going to be there also. Poteet and Trepanier are trying to get their Bonneville Cuda ready to test there too. Rabbit says he's going to break 200 for the first time there with his 29 roadster.he has run 230 something @ Bonneville..holds records at both places with his backyard built hot rod. I'm trying to get Jeff Isaacs to get on here with his yellow 69 Camaro that was in PHR a few months back..It holds several records at Maxton and he regularly drives it on the street around here. It's a budget build that is very fast and cool. Rabbit did the chassis and suspension. Another buddy of ours has a 55 Ford F1 pick-up..2003 cobra blower motor..6 speed..whole rear cradle out of the mustang..pro-tour pick-up..Rabbit built it too.

By what means do you plan to "secure the front and rear windscreens"?

[Travis B]

bob can you get me any info on this pedal kit? I can see the master cylinder bowls are made but are those wilwood masters and slave cylinder?

Hey Bob, it may be somewhere in this huge thread, but I have failed to find it if it is.
What is Maxton saying about the cage rules for a 200mph plus run? We are using a full chrome moly cage/less door bars in our Sixtynine. Diameter/wall thickness?
Is your cage chrome moly or DOM?
