My R/T construction

[slammedR/T]

Here you fockers go this the link to my photo album of the R/T,all 91 pics I have so far.They aren't in order and I don't know how/or have the time and patience to organize so use some common sense and figure it out on your own.

Just some info on the build;
ALL mandrel bent Chromemoly tubing per NHRA specs,3/4 race chassis(from firewall back),12-point cage,custome tube back half(part of 3/4 chassis),sportsman antiroll bar,sportsman 4-link,strange coil overs,A.R.T. springs(jerry bickle racing), Fab 9 9" rear cutdown 5",Late big ford bearings,strange axles31 spline, chromemoly pro spool,15x12 rims with 32X14.5-15 tires,custom hung bedsides and tailgate,skined for weight,custom cromemoly front crossmember,pinto flaming river manual rack,sportsman tire rods,custom steering column and steering shaft,custom floor mount for shifter,plastic racing seats(extra wide :nixon),5 point harness',dual door bars,fuel cell,other shit I'm adding and forgeting,cage will be certified to 8.00's when finished. Will still be driven on street and should run 8.90's on the 400 shot of juice WITH the pump gas 408 and 46RH!
I also helped with the build and learning A LOT from the guy,he is just slow but the work is fucking AMAZING!
forgot 4.30 richmond gears and an estimate weight at 2400 lbs.

OH and she still has keyless entry,power windows,power locks and the stock dash :D

You and me both. I am planning on doing a TKO in mine (hopefully this coming summer), but I am already dreading the thought of cutting a little whole in the floor. I can't even imagine going to town like this :jester:

That is a work of art sir, and please don't cover up the craftsmanship. The welds and fabrication is sexy... Hmmm if only I had a single cab. Also looking at the front end pictures. It shows how easy it will be for me to cut my inner fenders out.

What about the bed....Is open cool if you have a cover??

[slammedR/T]

You still want wheel tubes and some kind of flooring,for two reasons;
1) the open bed will catch a lot of air causing issues on the top end and possible wreck.
2) it will get dirty fast back there being all open.

I'm going with aluminum wheel tubs and flooring along with a sheet aluminum tonneau cover with a piano hinge just after the down bars for acesss.

DO'H

Didn't think about the air....Thanks for all the pics info. Awesome build you've got going on.
My winter plans are installing a CSR water pump and trying to figure out a manual steering rack.

Flamming river is your friend.... I bet if you contact them with pictures and measurement they can hook you up on the rack.

That 400 shot going to be on a Magnum block?

[bad360rt]

Yup, half fill, girdle and studs if I remember correctly.

[wyotech_cuda440]

A single-stage enamel (like DuPont Imron) will be about the toughest paint you can get, and will resist chipping pretty good. I would put it on a roll bar, it would hold up pretty good, so the door bar wont look like crap after 2 weeks. It's more expensive than a rattle can, but it lasts. I like to use these door bar hinges in my cages because you can run a higher door bar, and it's easier to get in and out. They are NHRA legal. http://www.cachassisworks.com/iwwidb.pvx?;multi_item_submit?FORM_SELECT=C?CAT_LV L=0?CAT=SIDECLEVIS?COMP=CAC

What he said but I like the push button style clevis pins at A.R.T. I'm gonna order me a set.Also the street trick is with swing out door bars,you just pull them off and hang them on the wall till you go to the track.
They also sell imron(now that I spelled it right) clear coat,I'm thinking about using it on the roll bar so the paint will match the body,prolly gonna go dupont chroma base for the body paint.

DEPUTYBack in the early eighties my Dad had his '69 Camaro painted with Imron (I think they use it on aircraft too). That thing would bounce good size rocks off the paint (happened driving down highway behind tractor trailer) and laught at it. We were going to a car show and when we got there...not a mark. Just have to have a ventilator to shoot it or it'll fuck your nervous system. That means it must be good shit! :biggthumpup:

[ThundeR/T]

did you buy a roll cage kit for the truck or you cutting and measuring yourself? because im looking to cage my truck as well but cant find a kit for our trucks
