well, first off, let me say kudos to edelbrock!! i just got done mounting my new eddy 500, and so far...LOVE it.... i got the throttle linkage adapted(a few cuts and tweaks ), bolted it down, threw on a new filter, and it fired right up and idled beautifully(w/NO adjustments). i decided to drive it to the gas station(no bumpers, tailights mind you), and give her some premium. i got into it a couple of times to check the kickdown, and it works . i burned some rubber too (yes even w/those fattys on the rear!!), cant wait till i get an upgraded ignition and 4:10 gears w/sg(so i can sqwauk both fattys. .........ss

Nicely done!

update..... body work finished last weekend. i started the roller paint job yesterday. if any of you havent heard of this, see hotrod magazine's falcon , or moparts thread on this subject. the first coat looks pretty darn good, i think it may have been a little too thick because there were very few runs. second coat goes on today, i did not mask ANYTHING and did not not make a mess !! im using rustoleum satin black, and thinning w/oderless mineral spirits. i think i will sand every two coats because of the lack of major runs. this is more labor intensive, but carefull application will return nice results........cost for entire project -- $50 -- ...........ss

i put on 3 coats, and wet sanded once. then i used rubbing compound on entire car followed by a coat of cleaner wax. final results- not bad, my wet sanding sux, but its a rat rod, so considering the $50 price tag, im happy. also put my new caps on the slots. reinstalled all trim, bumpers, etc. i just drove it about 10 miles and back, gets lots-o-looks . so i bought this car 2 months ago.....now interior done, body done, needs motor detailed, but a running and stopping(sort of) car...............check the pix.............ss


now, thats a grill

cranked the torsions bars a little more
spray bombed the wheel wells for a clean look

this shot will be looking better after i put on my chrome cover !!

This car kicks ass.

the" Piece de resistance " need some chrome exhaust tips now!!!!!


fattys, chrome, stance


cleaned up the motor a little..needs some spray bombing...the steering box cleaned up nice... see the big "S"?

That is a nice ride. I like the wheel and tire combo ! The interior looks really bitchin' to !
Have you had the chance to drive it much with the four barrel ? Sounds like your happy with it so far, keep up the good work !

Looks great! Keep it up.

Any chance we'll see you at Pittsburgh this coming weekend for the Slant Race? Greg and the boys will be putting on a nice feed and it should be a great time. Very nice folks and some cool cars coming. I'm driving up from Blacksburg, VA in my '68 Dart.

mbiz.......ive havent driven it alot yet, but so far its running good w/4bl. ive no way to tell if the motor has had work, but i doubt it. 3.23 gears help it out of the hole, and i havent even tuned it or set valves, or changed from points to electronic ignition yet. Lou, this saturday morn my family and i will be leaving for wyoming for vacation, so i wont make the pa race. i would however like to be at the chrysler classic at norwalk in sept . the lancer needs brake work and a complete tune up before i would trust it to run down the track, or even drive that far.

OK, that's enough excuses for me. Just thought I'd drop that in...

Lou
