XL On Display!

I have been MIA the past few years busy with work but needed to jump on and get this out there. I am posting this on behalf of Sinc and some others behind the scenes. Sinc works here at the Simone Museum and with a little bit of his networking skills has pulled off another milestone for MAC and the whole Slick group. Thank you Sinc for helping to make this happen!! For those who are new to this club there is a long story on this truck.

Enjoy!

Sorry John, but that is dual quads on a medium-rise intake. I'll post some more pix when I get home tonight.

Later...Sinc

Truck looks great! Glad to see it spruced up and in a position to get the attention it deserves. The last pictures I saw it looked like it was suffering from neglect. Would love to be able to afford to fly up and take a look in person.
My bucket list includes: Build a XL100 clone

Hey Guys,

Here are a few more pics. Also, Ford drag cars were VERY well represented at this show. I'll post those pics later...

Many thanks to Rich (aka Beagle) for braving the foul weather. He was the only MAC member to attend the show...

Later...Sinc

The 100XL is one sweet truck. Id love to have that motor sitting under the hood of my 65. My 63 will be updated to a 390 anyway.

it's not late enough in the season for duck shoes yet is it? at least not here, but it's coming.

definitely too early for them! we had about 4 inches of wet snow and as a result I was clearing fallen tree branches out of the drive way before I drove down to see Sinc and the XL-- didn't have time to change out of them, wanted to get to the museum before the free cheese steaks were gone!

It is so cool it's all back together (last pics I saw the engine wasn't done). Cleans up real good doesn't she!
Are there any plans for running the XL down the 1/4 once or so for old times sake or in at vintage races? Slick Stock 5 would be a good place to display it too.
mmmmmmmmm - real Philadelphia cheese steaks - mmmmmmmmm
If you have never had them those a real treat guys! Thanks to Sinc for introducing me to them too! The MAC guys have a real knack for treating you like family if any of you ever get out there.
You are right Chris - it's probably under appreciated but then again - how many people don't know it exists or maybe don't know it was even built? Be a cool feature for Hemming's Muscle Car magazine - they do articles on vintage racers too.

More Ford Drag Cars...

Thanks for the great pics Rich. Always good to see the F100XL in pictures and wish I could have seen it there too.
Free Philly Cheese Steaks?????MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! TR

Darn it Bill.....you NEVER mentioned "FREE" cheese steaks.
Looks like a great time, sorry I missed it. How is the old farmer anyway?

Farmer Bill stopped in tonight and we talked for a couple hours. He wanted me to pass on a Farmer Bill Hello to everyone. His computer crashed a while back and he has not replaced it. He tolded me he took it out in the driveway and ran it over with a tractor. Truck is doing well and looking good from when we first saw it in 2005.
