What’s an old man like you doing with 600 hp....... 😂


Looks great Ken..... glad it’s finished. Seat looks good - stiffness should ease up with milage.... and still look good.

Mikes guy did the top layer of foam in the ‘40 real soft - I love it - but it will show “wear” sooner as the leather stretch’s and groans under the weight of my BFA.... The Sid Shavers upholstered seat in the ‘33 was “stiff” but it had a lot of contour so was comfortable.

Ken,

I gather that last drive was slipping pretty bad, given the lack of belt wrap on the supersharger pulley...

I got the new Ford 9" Quiet Zone third member from Johns Industries installed yesterday and broke it in following the Instructions...…. All I can say is "Wow" !!!...… Not a sound...… Enough of dealing with Local "Experts" !!!!! Finally ……. You get what you pay for, What a concept !!!!!!!...… LOL
I also installed Front QA1 shocks a while back and figured out that the spring rate was a little stiff...….. Called the Tech line and was told my thoughts were correct.... Had #450lb springs and they recommended #400lb...…. Those are now on also and it rides much better...….. This "Beater" is almost ready for the Good-Guys Road Tour

Not asking you to quote actual prices, but was the quiet zone that much more expensive...?

Ken, just curious. Which model center section did you get?

I bought the John's cast iron unit with the True Trac Posi unit along with the Quiet Zone option...….More than I wanted to spend but in retrospect..... Worth ever Penny !!!!
