I like the place. Hope it works out for you gents. :cool:
Pressure plate on the Barn Job. Hit the scatter shield hard enough to bend it, pulling both frame rails in. Hence, the spreader. :oops:
Chassis work's always fun & games. :rolleyes: [img] [img]
Built & ridden for 43 years. Finally had to part out to help cover some medical crap 5 years ago. Always enjoyed the screams & hair pulling from...
Wherizzit? Wherz da trofie? :D
Well, Kiddies, Putting my kit together for this coming weekend's run up to Eagle Field. Three days of real dirt pits, a genuine WWII Army Air...
Almost "road trip" coming up Thursday. Heading up to Eagle Field from L.A. for a weekend of proper nostalgia drag racing. :cool:
Hell, I'm just a rodder. So I guess it's karma that I can't afford anything I wouldn't change. ;)
OK, Kiddies, first round on the exhaust. Cobbled together a log(ish) type over three days for the first set-up. Ran it into a home brewed...
Well, it happened that CPW's Spring Fling wasn't scheduled against a meet this year, so I hauled the 'Brick on up to it. Turned out that a Motor...
Back at it, the oil pan & pump pick up this time. Modified the pan for the 28* tilt, and fitted the pump pick up to the new angle. Defeated...
Excellent. :cool:

Hardly. I'm saying I don't need yet another project even farther out in left field. :D Glad you enjoy the tin. :cool:
Yep, very few street "rears" over the years. Quite a few track ones though, with Red Case's being my own favorite. Here're the three iterations...
I do believe this buggy'd look great with nearly anything for wheels. :cool:
Now convenient that it's below Suicide Bridge? :eek: ;)
[IMG] We live on a hill, on a street aptly named "Hillandale". Our driveway qualifies as well. The only way to find someplace level to check...
I have to admit that I'd no effing idea there were as many of us S/D freaks as this. I mean, 53 pages worth now? Seriously? Well, there go all...
Not bad, Sir. :cool: You'll have to spot me 7 lengths now (your wheelbase, not mine). :D
Wow! :cool:
Now why didn't I think of that? :confused:
Dusting off the 'Brick, and putting some decently louvered side panels back on the hood. Got tired of the smooth ones. The extra weight may slow...
One for the rocker box thread as well. :cool:
Was the cast crank turned down? Cast cranks don't much like having the surface removed, sometimes gives'em improved fracture starting areas.
Cast crank?
Only if my "X" will do. :rolleyes:
That'd be cool. Yeah, the gasser scene at Eagle's pretty healthy.
