just amazing stuff here.
Awesome collection of films! Thanks for sharing.
yes, I have that one too. it's a bit of "weren't the old days great" , but a great insight as to what it would have been like.
American Road Racing: the 1930s by Joel Finn. one of my favorite books in my collection.
I have some photos of the car from the late 40s if that is if any interest. I've always liked the idea of the car after reading about it in Joel...
This was part of a 3 DVD set that Al Moss sold. Just some amazing stuff on those dvds. They are well worth checking out. At the beginning of the...
made b17 seats that I later sectioned.
Dude, your manning build is going to end up so much nicer than mine. This is why I was embarrassed to post pics of mine. What type of steering box...
Ha! You are correct about The devil's hairpin, I have that on 16mm film. The movie called "The Road Racers" is particularly awful even though it...
There is a terrible 1950s movie that has a ton of cool specials in it (coolest being the Tatum special) called Johnny Dark. There is an Irwin...
Thanks! like Jeremy said, it's a 3 speed manual transmission that technically could have 6 speeds but the 2 speed rear is really only meant to...
Good eye, its a Manning clone/recreation I'm making from his blueprints. I'm trying to be as accurate to the original as possible, all the way...
It is an Irwin Lancer. Powered by a 59A Flathead. It has a true Lincoln transmission (not just the gears) and a Columbia 2 speed. [ATTACH]...
Some of you have some seriously cool stuff, so much so I am kinda embarrassed to post my cars but here are my 3 specials. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
So there are no ball joints at the radius rod attachment? I guess he used the rubber from the motor mounts as the flexure? This dude sure did...
how were the front radius rods attached to the frame? Heim joints, tie rod ends?
I may have some info on those copper finned brakes for you. That is one wild chassis, who was the builder and where was he from?

Although I have never seen one run off the front of the generator, that isn't what I'm looking for. The car I'm restoring had one that was run off...
I think this is one but I'm not 100%. I know they had a kit for it in 1949 but I never seen what it actually looked like. [ATTACH]
We've all seen the dizzy tach drive Stewart Warner made but who has pictures (or is using one) of the generator tach drive they sold? I've seen...
4 years late to this conversation but here is a picture of my Lancer when we picked it up. These cars were large. Over 170 inches long for a 2...
I love the original body of the schaghticoke special. John told me about how it was made from many different random sections of body panel from...
Also, talking with some people that helped manning he decided that he didn't like the cycle fenders because they kept flying off during the races....
So, Manning and Dave Margolien built new body segments, the front fenders and the rear section were different from the original manning...
Superfleye, these pictures were given to me by Chuck Mannings nephew not his son, small details. I do know that he did not build another...
Close, this car was a clone of Chuck Manning's made by D. Margolien. Margolien was a friend of Chuck's. This one used the same molds to build...
This car was called the ardent alligator. It was owned by one of the Collier brothers
He may have told you but those photos came from this video http://vimeo.com/9378621 Whats cool about this video is that both the Morgensen and...
