Title: Jay makes Hot Rod's cover photo
Post by: thatdarncat on October 20, 2015, 12:55:31 PM
Jay, Steve and the Class winning race car get selected for Hot Rod's Facebook cover photo. Nice shot running down the road. It's getting about 40 "likes" a  minute. For those not on Facebook here's the photo.

Hey that's great! I do remember the issues Jay had with fitting the 'glass, sanding same and painting it.

The 'glass parts and the rest look arrow straight in that pic, for sure!

LOL, don't bother, they've already switched it to a red Scrub-maro. Must have been some rogue Ford loving employee, I'm sure they've been fired now.

Nice Jay I know you have that gearvender overdrive unit in that picture or in general how fast are you going and at what rpm and what gearing obviously that thing will also take a beating

The car runs about 2500 RPM going down the road at 65 MPH, with the 4.29 gears and the overdrive.  Its actually pretty comfortable at freeway speeds...

Good stuff Jay.

Your car even made it into the latest edition of Street Machine, which is the main hot street car magazine here in Australia.
