Glad to see you're back on it Dave!!!

Very cool truck! Its about time it hits the track this year....  

[David Willingham]

I don't think it will this year. It still has EFI problems that have to be addressed by the MFI engineers. It needs the rack extended to solve bumpsteer problems. Then it needs painted, which is nearly impossible to get done around here.

......It needs the rack extended to solve bumpsteer problems......

IIRC a while back Yellowbullet might have had a thread about somebody making threaded extenders for the center shaft/main body shaft of Pinto style racks. But not 100% sure.

[David Willingham]

Thanks, I'll check it out. Mine is a Stilletto Rack, so I don't know if they are the same. I can build my own, but sometimes it's cheaper just to buy it.

David,can you take a pic of your headers at the bottom where they make their turn towards the lower fender. Truck is off the hook .  

[David Willingham]

[David Willingham]

Yes, I know, I haven't called Keith yet to get the required tethers yet.  As soon as it's ready to go to the track, I will get them put on. 

[David Willingham]

Few more pictures of the starter and flexplate swap.

Hey Dave just bought a 73 F100 hope to have it as badass as that someday. Keep up the work! Lookin forward to seeing some track times!

[David Willingham]

Alright! Now hurry up and get it done by next years BBF race, lol. It took me 11 years to rebuild mine.

Dave any updates lately how the new battery pack and charging system coming. It about time for me to replace my battery and been thinking about what we talked about on how you got the battery pack setup for yours.

[David Willingham]

I have everything sitting here but haven't built battery mounts or finished wiring them up yet.

[David Willingham]

Here's a video from several months back starting the truck on the new lipo batteries. And yes I know there is oil coming out of the vent tank, lol..

[bbf-falcon]

Dang it,neither my pc nor my phone will download your video's.

[David Willingham]

Sorry, I don't know what the deal is with that?? I barely can post the video, lol...
