    Very impressive. Defantly the ultimate sleeper. Your gone hurt alot of feelings of the unexpecting competition.

    That would be rad ! I am building 430 0.030 over 75' two doors Electra. This thing is so darn long but ppl dig it, I can't wait to put the new engine in and new gears, it's going to be a whole new car.

    That huge trunk and all that weight on the back end makes it look like a KICK GASSER.

    I've watched this video a gazillion times and it makes me smile every time:D it's also what sealed the deal on me getting one of JW'S 9.5" big car converters for my 69 Riv.

    That's the direction that I want to go in for the engine I'm building for the Riv.

    Bold of you to assume that I'll have traction ;)

    True enough! But you do have a new tire on there so she should hook pretty good :p
    I know my Riv will launch hard with it but when I mash the go pedal she breaks free and burns the rubber like it's free :)

    When I first spoke with jim about the big car converter he mentioned doing one for a client in Alaska and if I'm not mistaken I think he posted a link to the video for me to see first hand what it can do:D. I'll have to look back at our conversation to confirm that. Either way that car is sweet and looks fun as hell! I hope I can get the Riv up near those numbers and moving like your boat does:)
