T-Ford

This car started off as a part payment for a job.
We (myself @ old man)basically started out as a Ian Cameron chassis with a turtle deck tub body in 94'.
Working on rod every Thursday night and Saturday's while my Mother worked.
Keeping me out of the pub[(#)] Finished around 2002.

Our first run over 1/4 was a 14.5 in drive, and 13.9 going through the gears,Manual valve body C4 auto.
Now with a tuff 383ci Cleveland.
It's a dream come true.Bring on a 10.

We ran two flat 11's last night124mph
100mph at half track.

    Don't know what rear end you're running, but that thing gets off the line great.

    Well Done!!!

    10.949 @ 126mph is a rush.First 10 second pass[:p]
    Beating Ben Bray by more than 10 seconds will never be repeated.
    Ben was running a Red Datto Wagon with a standard 1200cc-Ran 22sec
    (back brace and all)

    But gezz i'm stuffed.It's been a big year-playing up[:x)]

    Running Sydney WISD Raceway was a highlight,catching a look of the White(99)RS doing a bit of Circuit work at Eastern creek was special to see in action.
