Short wheelbase Cyclone/Montego is now mostly finished. Here are a couple pics.

the fastest old fo-merc-linc in the west! very nice! did you shorten it? ifso why? i still have the email/pics of the parts...still saving up! how many lateral g's does she pull? (ballpark)...front and rear tire width? awesome job i love all the aero details, lightening etc. top speed?(ave.)

How are things in LA? I'll let you know if we make to Willow Springs this year.

It's shorter for weight bias.

I don't know about Gs, but I dorve a car that had a meter that said it could do about 1G and I think the Merc. sticks a lot better than that one did.

I run 3.5 and 3.7 rear ends with 1:1 top gear, 28.5" tall rear tires and I try not to turn it more than 7400 rpm. These ratios reflect top speeds on the faster road courses I run. The slower tracks won't see much of fifth gear.

Tread width is 12.5" f and 14.5" r.

I'll have better answers after I get it sorted out, which will take several months at the rate I go.

Wow! That is so cool!

 

[mattrobison]

Wheelbase is 108" now - same as an early Mustang I think.
