You know who that was directed at. :D

clill.........cleanup on isle 5!

:hello:

Slow like an ICBM.

I'm glad Greg could barely reach the pedals as a quarter inch of throttle in Hellfire is more than enough on public roads and I didn't have a helmet.

Only Stielow has put more miles on it than Greg Weld.

:y0!: :y0!: :y0!: :y0!: :y0!: It's not that slow... LOL

Mark told me to put the 'Charlie cal' in it after Autorama

So I set the following:
throttle limit: 20%
rev limit: 3000 rpm
Boost: bypass open all the time

So your experience driving Hellfire shoud be same as you remember it.

Dave

One small problem, it will still put a hurt on the tires in 4th gear with that tune.

Well, maybe not with the boost bypass open. :D

Bypass open makes 'only' 700hp/675tq......

Nice.........though certainly not cop proof with what's his name behind the wheel. :D

OMG Dave, I almost peed myself laughing so hard at this thought!! How "fitting"....

Mark, we were pulling out as you just got in the registration line last night. Went to help Billy set up the Nova. What a zoo..my first experience at a show setup, I'm not a fan either. We sat in line for 2-1/2 hours just to get in.

Just wait until its take out time... ;) And everyone wants out at the same time.

X2!!!
The first time I went to a show as an exhibitor I was far more enthusiastic going to than coming from! Louisville Nats, inside, is the worst!!!!

yes, this^^.
The plan is to, hopefully, get everything in the car (flooring, stantions and rope) and drive it out to a rendezvous point with the tow rig :headspin:

I can say that I'm glad my car isn't shiny! I've got no real interest in this stuff :D

We tried that the last time I helped someone with this scenario, only problem was the 2" of snow on the roads outside the hall and the only place I could park the trailer was with the nose pointed uphill. We barely got the car to the trailer, much less up in it... Did I mention this was also at about midnight on Sunday night...

I also am glad my car is not "show quality"...

D lot

Looks like he's in the Oreck booth? :sarcasm_smiley:

Or possibly Dirt Devil...

nice build

Detroit Autorama
 

I stopped to see Billy from B&B Classics and to my surprise Mark stopped by. It was nice to finally meet Mark, what a class guy.

Mark you are very humble and down to earth, very nice to see. When Billy posts the dates for Gingerman I will definitely come down to see you guys run.

Hellfire looks even better in person!

A few more Autorama pics...

Gordon --- Damned if I could figure out how to vote on Faceybookzitfacedlittlegirls.com (it's that because I'm too stupid to figure it out) --- but I did post a #DlotHellFire on Instagram if that helps.


Good pictures by the way!

Same GW. But I did hashbrown him in a few Instagram posts/threads/whatever.



Jeff-

btw...Charley (or mostly the model in the poster dress :) )was mentioned on the Detroit News website.

poor thing has to tinkle

Cool..

That's the coolest trophy I've seen.

Congrats :thumbsup:

That baby must weigh 40#. Better make sure the shelf it will sit on is up to the task!

Congrats! That is a good looking trophy.

Hi Mark,

The Cerakote finish on your trim and wheels is the color by any chance Tungsten or Sniper Gray? I not a fan of the chrome wheels on my car and want to go with the same color you used.

There's a difference between those two colors?

Top one has more taupe or bottom one has more blue.

Monitor color settings may skew the perception.......

Blue dress, gold dress.

Finspeed coated my wheels Tungsten and Fabcoat in MI did the trim.

Mark

Mark,

Regarding performance, what is your perception of the Cerakote finish?

Good Morning Mark and Thank you very much

I've tested Cerakote on offroady-type 2-wheeled things and it holds up quite well until an impact of a certain force, then it cracked and flaked off quite quickly. This was on raw, welded, heat-treated 7005 aluminum. Not sure what alloy his rims would be forged out of and if the treatment base coating would "stick" better to the rim material.

I like it. Seems to hold up well but it can be scraped off if treated rough. We will know better once Charley takes the car on Power Tour. LOL

Mark

Ditto, I will also be doing a few legs of the Power tour this year. However, I am certain Charley will be driving his car much harder then I drive mine.

on a side note I will have my bike with me so I can hit a few of the mountain bike trails that are near each of the Stops.

Drove the POS about 80 miles to Pleasanton just now.. Goodguys tomorrow. I love this DSE subframe.

Hey how about the rest of the cool crap.......
