Bloody good show Mates!!

You are keeping the standards high for the rest of us. Fine looking car.

[348chevy]

Love the pictures and I believe the rear suspension would help in the classification process. Love the Mcgurk manifold a real antique. Are those 94 crbs you're running? And lastly what car did your raditator come out of? I'm sure it wouldn't be available here but it is perfect in size. I have been looking all over for a used raditator for my car and all to no avail. New is cost prohibitive. Keep up the good work.:DRoy

[FiddyFour]

good lookin car here in the works gents... seriously good mates

An Opel Kadett has neat little radiator. If they haven't all been crushed by now.

[Toymaker]

Keep the photos coming, Lookin' good!

[Joe Hamby]

Hi 348, I found my radiator in an early dodge mini van, maybe 84, they have a radiator on one side and the condenser on the other side, so it's not real wide, and it has an electric fan with it, the motor was a 3 liter V6, so it cools my 3.7 liter slant 6 just fine, it even seems to cool better with the electric water pump drive, good luck on your search.

The car looks great I like the firewall position, with it between the box and bellhousing do you still need scatter shield over the clutch ?

Yes.

Keep at it boys, chasing your brake's now.

Cheers,

Drewfus

[Joe Hamby]

you need a 360 degree scatter shield, protects you, the crowd and other cars that you are racing and your own back tires.

[Black Knight Racing]

Yes.

Man, if you can do that well as a FNG I'm scared to think of what will happen when you reach Grenade Inspector status.

Sorry to see of your problems, when these old engines come apart they do tend to make sure that we can't put them back together again.

[348chevy]

Reminds me of about 40 years ago at Lions a fuel bike was coming up to the starting line and he run the revs up and the engine came apart. The carb was hanging from the throttle cable and the cylinders were gone. The guy looked down and gave the throttle a couple of twists I guess to see if what he was looking at was really true. :eek:Roy

[OBFB HA/GR]

Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye last sunday but we had to get home and packed to make it over to the hamb drags.they we even better than i could have hoped for.hope you get that motor fixed soon so we can race again.

[Rand Man]

OBFB, glad I got a chance to talk with you at the drags. Bet you had a memorable trip. Keep up the good work on your side of the planet.

[Rand Man]

What's going on on your side of the planet Aussies? Haven't heard much about your 2009 season.
