Ford Ranchero - New Project
Ford Ranchero - New Project
Found a new project, picking it up this weekend.
I will be selling 90% of the original parts as i not doing a restoration and i also have the straight 6 that comes with it.
Long KZN road trip to Cape Town next month, keep you posted on what she becomes..
here is a glimpse of my plans, (not mine or even a ranchero pictured)
Anyone have a V8 for sale...

My brother is looking for a driver's outer door handle.
Looks like an interesting project

Re: Ford Ranchero - New Project
Are you intending to road register it or just use for drag racing?

Re: Ford Ranchero - New Project
I have been trying for months now to get info from Killarney on what the rules are. I cannot afford "drag racing" so I want to do the street 2 strip stuff for now.
I assume it has to be Road legal , but I am still waiting to hear from them what the specs allowed are, tire sizes etc
All I know is we not allowed to be under 12sec or u need to attend drag races .
Also been waiting a few months for the race forum admins to approve my account so I can read some info. But it appears all the forums are no longer maintained and they don't bother.

Barring the frustration of getting info, it sounds like a blast!

The car for the most part does need to be road legal but apart from that and the need to not go faster than 12 sec there don't seem to be too many rules.

Talk to Gunter, he should be able to offer advice, and sell you tires.Shaughn wrote: ↑Mon 22 May 2017, 20:10I have been trying for months now to get info from Killarney on what the rules are. I cannot afford "drag racing" so I want to do the street 2 strip stuff for now.

Re: Ford Ranchero - New Project
Well that original one I bought just became a donor parts car as I found another one with a Cleveland 351 in it.
Waiting for some spares from Rassie to fire it up now.

Re: Ford Ranchero - New Project
Always good to have some spare parts.
So what does your plan of action look like? What is step 1?
Will you just be getting her mechanically sound, and roadworthy, and enjoying the Ranchy for a while, as is, or will you be starting the drag car build immediately?
Will you be fabricating a fibreglass front end, doors and tailgate for weight reduction?
