Racecar Pics!!!

[ford_racer]

Sorry I lied yesterday. I meant to get them up, but my computer was being stupid, so I made my dad put them on photobucket today. Heres the link to the whole page--- http://photobucket.com/albums/y114/Ford_Racer/

Here are all the individual pics:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture013.jpg --- Right rear quarter panel. Stillwater Investigations is my grandpa. The white helmet is mine, while the gray with the flag on it is my Dad's. His helmet is badass.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture012.jpg --- Picture of the Kirkey Aluminum Racing seat, along with some of the rollcage. We bought it like that, so none of the welds are our.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture011.jpg --- Me posing with the car and my brand new G-Force Racing helmet SA200. Sorry about the pants, I don't normally where them like that, as I had no belt.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture009.jpg --- Left side of the car, showing the number and the flames, along with all the sticers. Last year, we had 3 different cam companies on the car :loser1:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture008.jpg --- 351 Windsor. Different valve covers . We say that the right head has more power, so it goes in a circle better... HAHAHA

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture007.jpg --- Another picture of the seat and some of the cage, along with the starter switch and ignition dealy, and the hole where one of our gages is gonna go. Car is a little messy right now... but it will be ready by Saturday.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture006.jpg --- Left rear of the car, showing another sponsor, Ulmers Auto and Truck Service Center. Greg Ulmer helped us ALOT with the car, including discounts on parts and free parts. Thanks to Greg (who will most likely never ever see this )

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture003.jpg --- Another right rear. This one showing some of the back, and Cole's truck (MTchev, who hasnt been on forever and only has around 5 posts).

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...Picture002.jpg --- Last picture. The right front, showing Little's Lanes and the 7-10 Casino. The front rims are red while the backs are white for a reason. The front wheel studs are smaller than the rear, the rear being 1 inch racing studs. We are hopefully gonna change ALL of them soon, all to be 1 inch.


This is my dad and I's racecar that my dad bought for $300. It should make around 300-320 HP. It has a nice, ratty cam, good heads (with $500 in each head, not thanks to us, we bought the engine like it is for only $500!!!). It has a Ford (duh, the car is Ford) 9 inch rear end with 3:73 and a pure locker (not posi, it locks going around corners too ). The tires (or most of them) are Cooper Cobras, most being 7-8 inches wide. The rollcage is a 5 point, and we had to build more up-front, because the car was a unit-body. The exhaust is the only kind a racecar should have, straight through around 2 1/2 feet off the manifolds (we are not allowed to run headers, nor Holley carbs :banghead: ). The color is some sort of blue from Ace Hardware, painted with a Wagner Power Painter. I can't think of anything else. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

we are gonna improve upon the shifter tomorrow (longer, padded, and reinforced). they work really well. the driver side up is reverse, down is first, middle is neutral. then we go to the passenger side, with up being 2nd, and down being 3rd.

hopefully we can get some vids, but i doubt it. and we are gonna take a shop vac to the inside.

Bout time u got the pics up, Nice car odd shiftr

our other shifter from last year, wouldnt fit, because its a different year of car ( :banghead: ). Same thing happened with EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!! The back of the motor is quite literally this far II from the firewall. We had to use a wrist pin as a motormount on the passenger side to get it level and in. we had to make a tranny mount, z-bar (used for clutch mounting), belt tensioner, shifter (which i like), front loop (its a unit body), and other things i cant think of. you think most parts that work on one year would work on another car that isnt too much newer, but NOOOOOO.

and one more thing. i would like to know, on all cars, regaurding the fuel pump, is the inlet always towards the front, or is it only on freakin Windsors that pissed us off.
