*Randy70C-10* · 01-25-2004, 11:29 PM

It's a truck with the roof cut off. I like it. (definately different though)

Hooter · 01-25-2004, 11:36 PM

67cst · 01-25-2004, 11:47 PM

WHAT?!?!?!

I would guess ~150... In a Chev truck? I would like some info on this!

SEVEND2 · 01-26-2004, 12:26 AM

Thats talent, taking a Pic of your cluster at approx 110 mph
the steady hand and deep concentration WOW

Longhorn Man · 01-26-2004, 01:00 AM

That is about 105 MPH.
How can you get your speedo back up to 20? Every truck one I have ever seen won't go past 0 even with your finger pushing it.
High speed spedo shots rock.

*1972C10* · 01-26-2004, 01:08 AM

The Farthest i can get mine is to the P in the MPH it starts bouncing off a limiter or something It will get to the p and then bounce back a tad.

dinnut · 01-26-2004, 01:12 AM

when i had my gauges apart the 0 stop stopped it from being able to go past the 0 mark when coming all the way around. how did you get to the 20 mark?

how did you hold the camera so still doing 105? passenger?

bad 71 chevy · 01-26-2004, 01:45 AM

i bet that fule guage was all most fule when you did this j/k i have had my truck up to that on the freeway in az i love it

**67sss** · 01-26-2004, 02:18 AM

Longhorn.........I thought the computor chip kicks in at 99ish and doesn't let you go any faster. Maybe the wind was at your back and you were going downhill............LOL...........those type of vehicles are called rollscanardlys....rolls down one hill can hardly get up the next.

70short/step · 01-26-2004, 02:33 AM

That pic of the truck with the filled in cowl looks cool. Anyone here do that to thier cowl?? Would like to do it to mine. Anyone know if you can get one aftermarket?? I know you lose you fresh air vent like that but thats what windows are for!!

Cat Fuzz · 01-26-2004, 02:39 AM

That reminds me: I wonder if any of those Dodge factory convertible trucks are still around. Made in '87 or '88 I think.

70short/step · 01-26-2004, 02:41 AM

I know of one of those dodges around here, lives around the corner from me.

Blue Beard · 01-26-2004, 10:08 AM

That is a good look for a cowl filled unit....

would like to see the back bumper or rolled pan...........

Speed, how about 150 plus in town on a Triumph Motorcycle with the cop trying to catch you................been there, done that, and moved out........

Wait, I get it!!!

You would be doing 20mph

I don't know what kind of cameras you guys are using to take these pics, but will somebody fill me in on holding you hand still... My shutter speed is 1/60 - 1/250 depending on lighting with a f4 stop. Things go blurry at something longer than 1/30 or 1/15 (depending on how shakey you are).

*67Fleetsidedream* · 01-26-2004, 02:40 PM

Is your speedo broke?

PrimeredThunder · 01-26-2004, 03:15 PM

Took my 72' back to the M and had to let off, she could of went farther, but I still got a lot of life to live.

That Convertible is sweet, cept' for the front bumper and grille. Would look good with a front rollpan and trenz billet insert. Nice rig though nonetheless

hobby67stepside · 01-26-2004, 04:48 PM

I like the rigs in the background too!

**67sss** · 01-26-2004, 08:48 PM

guess what its off of a F*&D. He cut it down the middle and made it fit, and yes it's a truck(was) He doesn't even have a top. Not a good thing in WA state where it rains ALOT.

*Gee_Emm* · 01-26-2004, 09:16 PM

I like the laid back pillars, not a very practical ride though unless there is some sort of top you can put on.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-26-2004, 10:11 PM

I like the truck and that;'s a great way to make the taillight's dot if ya get busted for em..

Blue Beard · 01-26-2004, 10:45 PM

think of it the other way.........no drip rail problems
