    That Road Runner will be a perfect car - undercarriage and all.

    1974 Plymouth Roadrunner



    The 57 has an aftermarket tube chassis - looks 2 x 4.

    Update

     



    For some reason I can't see the front page of this web site or upload photos.

    Update:

    Headlights are on solid. The Headwind's billet housing are a great product.












    The alternator bracketry is a work of art. Keeping it low was a priority. Had to change the coil to a street coil. The race only coil was for short duration and would have over heated.











    Car Chemistry baffles installed:









    The Mighty Wiper motor is so much smaller than the Speedway product:







    The 37 Ford LED Tail Lights are mounted:






    What's left:

    Complete the wiring, install a few switches, and do some test runs.

    My experience is with a larger Car Chemistry baffle as opposed to the individual zoomie pipes, but on mine I used one anchor point (a nut welded to the inside of the baffle ring), and over time the combination of exhaust heat and exhaust pressure deflected the entire baffle assembly toward the exhaust, creating significant leakage around the baffle. The CC baffle rings are something like 14 gauge metal, which is pretty thin. It might not be an issue with the smaller diameter tube/baffle interface, but I ended up trashing my CC baffles and making some from scratch using heavier materials.

    The car is looking good, the street required equipment hasn't distracted from the overall killer look the car has, well done!

    Time will tell. I'll probably start the car next week. There's not much to them for $50 a piece. My problem with them is they're not square. If made properly, there's no reason they couldn't slide in and out easily.

    Alabama has a requirement for exhaust to be baffled without excessive noise.

    Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, bypass, a muffler without baffles or similar device upon a motor vehicle on a highway.

    I might slide by?

    I'm ready to ride! I've applied for the Chattanooga World of Wheels 11-13 January 2013. If accepted, you know I'll post pictures!

    Certainly shows ya what bureaucrats know. Don't it..

    An old mechanics trick, the first sign of smoke replace the muffler.

    I agree with Dave. Nice engineering on the headlight mount behind the shell.

    I went for a 10 mile drive today.

    It's still really loud. I'm going to lower the idle so it's not so loud while idling. I think it will get me by. If not, I'll add the caps and some packing.

    Steering is a work out.

    There's condensation building in my United Pacific Halogen Headlights with internal LED turn signals. They haven't been wet yet.

    I zip tied the 'chute closed.

    I just received two Speedway 3" Peep Mirrors. Those will be going on tomorrow. Great product for $15 each.

    Quick ride in the car.



    Inside view. Not the best quality. Didn't really get it above 3500rpm.

    Having some issues with the steering not being strong enough for the street.

    I do still run the spool on the street. I'm sure that's part of my problem. Beefing up those front bars and more/better welds should work.

    I ran a mini-spool in a Ford 8" on the street many years (I had TA Radials on that car).
