Ruslow to tower, over.

Rsuslow to tower, over.

Tower to Ruslow, go ahead Ruslow.


Requesting permission to land on runway 225......


Hey Stan, where's the parachute?

I bet it gets noisey at those speeds. Who is your co-pilot?

Good Luck out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the deal on spectators? Is there a decent spot to watch from?

( Oh by the way, we are sorry to inform you that as of this moment your life insurance is canceled)

 

Hey Ruslow, nice truck, where can I get those wing adjusting supports that's attached to the tailgate and do they have shorter ones? I like that Nastruck look and maybe I could incorporate those on my truck's spoiler just to look trick. Really appreciate any info. Thanks. Here's a pic of my truck's spoiler.

 

Just noticed you have an exhaust on the driver's side, do you also have one on the passenger side?

 

yes I have exhaust on both sides.
As for the supports I made them.Just like about everything else on the truck.Try and find something out there that is designed for a truck to go that fast and NOT be a drag racer!STan

EZGZ I will be seeing you Tuesday i have the part in the trailer.

 

I like that plate there.

 

Holy cow!!! I've always wanted to do something like that!!!

Ruslow,

You have to post pics and let us know how you did!

Good luck!!!!

 

Dude that wing is sick, where can I get one, or how do I make one!?

 

Just to save Stan the typing:

You can make one (like Ruslow) or beg him to make you one.

I highly doubt anyone besides Stan would actually require that wing, but hey whatever floats your boat.

Stan,

It doesn't seem to be talked about much, but what tires do you REALLY trust for extended high speeds?

 

I love the exhaust that comes out both sides. I always thought ford was cheating out all of the people in the left lane by only putting the pipes on the pass. side! I think I am going to try to engineer something like that... Any pointers or suggestions to get me started??? Should be simple enough, I think?

Truck looks great though! Has a real "purpose-built" look to it! And the plate says it all! Good luck in the race!

 

Only this warning . . .

When filling the truck with gas, pray that when it tops off it doesn't spit some out because if it does and a few drops of fuel hits those hot pipes, it's fire time!!!!

(Same thing each time you remove the fuel nozzle, make sure no drips)

(Chances are this is why Ford didn't put pipes out that side because it would be directly under the fule door)

 

You may have to move your fuel tank to accommodate exhaust on the drivers side. Note Stan's truck has a fuel cell at the rear of the truck.
