Road trip to Texas Hot Rods, Plus the Bumboclaat Buildup... Part I
Well unfortunatly no.... The Bumboclaat is NOT finished yet.... Yes Yes I know its been a LONG time but for the time being... Here's a little slide of a trip out to Texas Hot Rods in El Paso Texas. I-10 is a BEAUTIFUL road to be on. Nice long stretches. Nice open country scenery. Very few police. Its great! Things you gotta watch out for are some dangerous cross winds, especially towards the mountains. They will pick up your vehicle if your not careful!
But on with the SHOW!!!!!
The LONG straight roads of I-10
ALMOST THERE!!!!!! (10 hours of driving from Central Texas)
Once you start seeing Border Patrol.... your getting closer!!!!! lol
In sections like these.... you GOTTA be careful of those Dangerous Cross Winds..... Keep your hands on the wheel!
ALMOST THERE!!!!!
El Paso will kinda just come up and SLAP you in the face pretty much. Almost coming out of no where instead of the gradual suburban areas first before the big city.
Ahhh the Sign I've been so DIEING to see!
And now onward to the Project codenamed....... "Bumboclaat!"
Pic of the New Motor. Notice the Long Tube headers and HPS "Hardballer" intake manifold! Looks B!tchin dont it?
Hmmmmm Whats this??? VT Stage II Blower cams anyone???? Oh yes, the Bumboclaat will sound MEAN!!!!
75mm TB and Plenum to Compliment the rest of the bolt ons.
What good is ALL that power without proper Stopping power! lol
Oh YES BABY!!!! OHHHHHHH YEAH!!!!!!!! THIS!!!! Ladies and gentlemen..... Is what is going to REALLY make the Bumboclaat Fly. (Watch out Silver Bucket!!!!!)
The Man behind the science. Many thanks to Bob, Brian. and the shop crew for working on the project!
My stock 3650 Tranny which will be used in Bumboclaat. Notice the Throwout bearing.... Yeah its toast, a new one took its place. Money is being set aside to save for a 6spd T-56 Viper Spec with 4.10s! (3.73s currently)
Oh YES!!!! What good is 500plus rwhp when you cant get it to the ground???? Lackwood Shocks, 90/10 Drag Struts, Comp Springs, and Upper and Lower Control arms! All the goodness baby!!!!! This will be complemented with Texas Hot Rods custom 6 point Roll Cage system.
Spec II Clutch.... A MUST have.
The OLD motor..... Notice the "Ceramic" Ford Motor Sport Racing headers..... Yea.... They STILL will turn color on you!
New Motor is now in the place! ALMOST THERE!!!!! Notice the Fuel Injectors.... We are using 42lbs
The OLD motor. Notice the Injector Color of the Stock 19lbs Injectors.
OHHHHH!!!! SO NASTY!!!!!!!!
Saw me a SHELBY in person for the first time.... MAN you HAVE to hear this thing!!! Hey Brian my videos I took are all corrupted for some reason.... You GOTTA let them hear this thing! Post yours up!
Oh this thing is just plain MEAN!!!! Cammed 1965 Mustang Fastback..... I'm talking at an idle.... this thing makes your stomach rumble!
THR's Flagship Vehicle! THR SC-01 Saleen Mustang! 547rwhp! And man, did I find out quickly how useless 547rwhp is on street tires..... But she still is one FAST beast! Thanks for letting me ride her Brian!
Again everyone sorry about the videos.... Man you gotta hear that Shelby GT 500 though.... The Bumboclaat should be ready come end of this month. And man will I have a POST for yall!!! Watch out Silver Bucket! There is a bad boy coming to the Central Texas Area. She's Big, Black, Ugly, and just ready to whip some Bumboclaat @$$!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!!

I wish I was rich. I can barely afford to keep my car, let alone buy mods. CONGRATS though, can't wait to see pics when it's all done and what sort of times you run at the track.
