What up. New Vmax owner. First Max but have owned, Vrod, Buell, and a turbo sporster. I'm an old school hot rod guy. I own a shop in Boyd Texas. Built With Faith Motorsports New business venture after I retire from the Chair Force. I do powdercoating, Cerakote and as far as cars go, EFI installs turbo builds and restorations. I own a few toys. 67 Fairlane Boss 9 Twin Turbo. I plan to run that in Texas mile. 69 Mustang coupe ,sons car. Anywho. Bike was a 800 dollar purchase 3 weeks ago. So far, the parts list includes. Morley muscle jet kit. Voodoo pipe. Progressive rear springs, that I custom powdercoated, progressive fork springs not installed yet, ignitech ignition, cop swap and bunch of factory parts that were missing. I have been buying a bunch of parts off Facebook and Sean Morley I plan to wrap this up this weekend. Paint will be a flat Charcoal metallic gray with Playboy blue powdercoat for accents. Bike was a rat, I'm doing a quick build so I can get back on two wheels. Y'all be blessed, I know I am.
I will keep y'all updated.

Did you say, a Boss 429 twin-turbo Fairlane? Talk about 'wretched excess!'

The Boss 429 was probably the highest-HP Ford stock from the factory that I'm aware-of. I'm not counting SOHC 427 drag cars or NASCAR superspeedway King Cobra Torinos with the fiberglass nose and all the aero tricks, or the Super Shelby Cobra supercharged 427, they made two of, one of which Bill Cosby bought, and eventually returned to Shelby American, because it was so-temperamental, it never ran right. The car was re-sold to another eager buyer who killed himself in it trying to exercise its HP on I believe a Pacific coastal road.

I think a car like yours should be capable of 1,000 RWHP when running well. The aero factor of running a brick like a 1960's Fairlane at well-over 150 mph I suspect will be the speed-limiting factor.

I recall the heyday of Stormin' Norman Gray and his NOS Fox-body Mustangs ruling Pro 5.0.

One of the local guys who ran his own shop here in so. FL had a early 1960's Ford Starliner pillarless hardtop with its swooping curved B-pillar, which had a SOHC 427 in it, licensed for the street. No, I don't believe it was a factory car, but just seeing that wide-valve cover pair in there with that sexy roofline, was most-impressive. The outside wasn't radically modified, it looked pretty-stock, until he started it.

I see a new R/R, a good move to eliminate possible charging issues. The Holeshot exhaust is it? Now replaced by a UFO-style megaphone from Voodoo instead of a canister? Are you going to make everything work properly, before doing any internal work to the engine? Because of your other vehicles, I suspect the VMax will undergo some engine mods. Are you a machinist too?

I like the GM mid-1960's cars, like the Olds in the driveway. The 442's had great-looking wheels, guessing a Kelsey-Hayes product.

I disagree. Mario Andretti ran a 67 Fairlane in Nascar in 67 ran over 180 mph in a circle with less power. Challenge accepted. 200 or bust. I am not a machinist, but eventually I may twin turbo the max, just to say I did it. For now it's a cruiser. It had holeshot slip ons, now it's full exhaust from. voodoo. I have already rebuilt and jetted carburetors. I will be tuning it soon once I install brake light and fix leaking slave cylinder.

I may twin turbo the max

A Yamaha Warrior V-twin twin-turbo my buddy and I saw at Daytona Bike Week a few years ago. He said all of his H-D riding friends know better than to challenge him, because not a one has beaten him.

That's cool! I like boost!

Well, here's another type of boost done at my friend's Ft. Lauderdale area FL shop. Pic taken years-ago at world-renowned Boxenstopp in Daytona Beach/Ormond Beach/Holly Hill FL, home of Joe Rauff's creations. Joe, sadly, is deceased and Boxenstopp is no-more.



And because boost is fun, who says you can't do it to something you don't expect to see it done-to?



I have more... .

Sean Morley has lots of pics of power-adder builds he's done over the years.

WOW! Just fricken WOW! Some awesome machinery, all of it!

I'm pretty sure I have (somewhere) a short VHS tape of your friend doing this burnout. Bummer that he's no longer with us. The guy definitely had some original ideas where these bikes are concerned.
Love those old blower builds, they were amazing! I always wanted to do one, but back then I was married with children, so... [/QUOTE]

 

[CaptainKyle]

Here if you like Turbos my buddy built one of the nicest looking Turbo Vmax's I have seen. It is a 1500cc pushing 20 lbs of boost.

The guy doing the burnout on the supercharged VMax is not the shop owner. He is still-around, and is from so. FL. It's the Boxenstopp owner Joe Raulf who is unfortunately deceased. Joe liked metalflake, I have a pic on another computer of his pretty blue metalflake bike. Here is a thread I did on Joe's shop: (113) Inside FL's Boxenstopp shop | Yamaha Star V-Max VMAX Motorcycle Discussion Forum (vmaxforum.net)

I found a pic.

..Please... STOP giving me Turbo Ideas !

Fire-medic, that metal flake paint looks like it came straight out of the 70's.

THAT is a great looking bike!

I like metalflake! The old phrase, "it's so-thick, it looks like it was applied with a trowel" is fine by me. I recall in the 1960's you could get seat upholstery in a metalflake pattern. One of my buddies had a Bultaco enduro with that.

I like scallops and flames, and pinstriping, like Ken Howard's. Moving into 1970's paints, I wasn't as-big a supporter of lace patterns and murals, like lots of vans had and bikes used then. Some examples I've seen on VMaxes.

This is what I did today.
