Fantastic-4 Door

I guess we really need to start working on Sam's 67 so he can start to beat me. Here's how he did when we double registered our 66 at Charlotte GoodGuys. 2.25 seconds off the winner of the street machine class and just under 1.099 seconds off of my time. Yes, I'm a proud Dad!

Street Machine class
1. Mark Rife 63 Chevy Corvette 34.179
2. Billy Utley 72 Chevy Nova 34.302
3. Larry Woo 68 Chevy Camaro 35.052
4. John Kundrat 64 Chevy Corvette 35.31
5. Tom Farrington 66 Chevy Chevelle 35.334
6. Ken Edwards 66 Ford Mustang 35.443
7. Marshall Machado 67 Chevy Corvette 35.958
8. Kurt Binkley 67 Chevy Chevelle 36.115
9. Bobby Fowler 69 Chevy Camaro 36.322
10. Sam Farrington 66 Chevy Chevelle 36.433

You should be, he's a good kid from what I've seen. He's easily influenced though



I'm thinking that when Sam does get around to working on it and updates this thread, we're all gonna be blown away!

Very nice....I'll be scared to enter an autocross anywhere near the Farrington's...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! The car did have more to give, but I was just driving to learn and have a good time.

As for the 67 we are starting to make a little more progress, and have been gathering alot of parts . We sold the old powder coated frame, and are starting on a fresh one. The new frame is at the dipper, and as soon as we get it back we will start to install the ABC frame channeling kit. I will post pictures as we start installing it.

Aaron I may be easily influenced, but it was your bad influence that made me do it.

Good job Sam! I wish I'd been there to see it but house/honey-do's kept me home.

who? what? did what? what are you talking about?

Can't wait for updates bud! let me know if I can talk you thru any of it, your dad's got my #. Oh wait, I have yours too on your card

Sam and I went to Redi-Strip in Indy to pick up our frames today. Lots of work ahead installing the ABC Performance mini-tub kits to both frames. We had them dipped in order to get all the gunk out before boxing them. We hate the thought of having bare metal inside the rails, but that is the way they came from the factory and lasted this long, so they should be good with our soft use. Ha!

If you leave those frames like that they will multiply.......like rabbits.

Dipping is the way to go, powdercoat will get inside those rails if the bare metal keeps you awake at night.

Mini-tubs will be sweet. It's more awesome that your doing it to the 66 also!!

Are you using the widened ABC inner halves or are you just widening your existing inner's? I look forward to the pics!!

[acegto]

Let us know how the ABC kit works out... any other plans over winter break, sam?

[FRENCHBLUE72]

We're using the ABC inner halves on the 66 and Sam's 67. We just started working on the 66 frame and Sam's will be next.

A little progress on the four door. We had the doors dipped, and powder coated with sealer. We wanted to get them sealed up inside and out so powder coating seemed like the best method. When we're ready to start on the rest of the body we will scuff the doors and put them in the same sealer as everything else.





They kind of match the house.

The doors look pretty straight.

The doors look pretty straight.

We were amazed at how great they looked after they were dipped. Not a single pin hole anywhere. A few dings, but nothing too serious!

How many cars did it take to find 4 good doors?

This is actually the complete set that came on the Kansas car that we're using. You've seen the rest of the car, it is all pretty nice.

Lets hope the rest of the car is as solid as we think.
