Platinumf250 · Apr 12, 2016

Picked this up the other day. Needs some work here and there but it's pretty much done. 38 cab, custom frame made from 2"x3" tubing, air bags in the rear, solid front axle up front, ford 302 bored .30 over, mild cam, 650 Holley, c4 automatic transmission, lokar shifter. Body has been sand blasted and clear coated.

I like this style of build.
Looks like the local sheriff does too?

How well does it drive?

The neighbors didn't like it on the test drive so they called the sheriff. Sheriff got there told us the car was cool and to be safe, then left.

Rides not too bad. Needs some shocks on the rear to keep it from bouncing so much. Doesn't weigh anything so it scoots along pretty well.

Don't you just love neighbors...they were only trying to look out for what's good for you lol. Thing ha got to be noisy. Any plans to muffle it?

Apparently they didn't like burnouts as much as I do. Yeah it's loud. Looking into some baffles that fit into the pipes now. I don't see a way of running the exhaust in a way where you could put an actual muffler on it.

Could run side pipes like an old cobra. Itd get it behind you which would help. My buddies 46 is straight piped and comes out right behind the cab. Loud when next to anything, still loud in general but not bad at all in the cab
