Bet that tire cost a whole lot less than the Quicktime bellhousing I am maybe buying. That Ed Losinski pic doesn't look like any So Cal track,...
Some bad news.... Fire tears through historic WWII blimp hangar in Southern California | Fox News [IMG] Fire officials said the only way to...
Major bummer, Pat was a real credit to our hobby/sport. I am glad to have met him a couple times. From what I heard (and I wasn't there), he ran...
28 spline 3.00 and 2.75 are pretty common. About the only thing that doesn't have them is the F150's which are 31 spline and usually 3.50 in the...
My car will bend the left tube forward more than the right. Every time it gets straightened it bends easier the next time so I build another...
The problem with too low an offer is real. I've had a guy shoo me out of his garage and close the door when he didn't accept the offer. Also been...
I have three garden sheds full of car stuff. A lot of which had been dragged to swap meets for many years and still never sold. Stuff I tried to...
At least with an Econoline rear end with two right side axles you won't need to worry about tires rubbing the body.... they'll be a foot away! The...
New in the very old box Mickey Thompson aluminum rods in standard 427 Ford length and journal size. These still have the shipping label from CT...
A good idea. I used to want a TVR Griffith until a guy let me sit in one at a show.... holy claustrophobia, my right arm sitting out level with my...
Wow, 6'7" fits? I'm a midget at 6'1" and before I bought my 53 F350 I went and looked at a nice 29AA farm truck... really too original to consider...
I watch the races on YouTube and would love to go to them all in person. It looks like a great series with the coolest cars. I love your...
The TBolt style bars will be much better than slapper bars. I run a 64 Fairlane with them and did lots of experimenting with different lengths,...
I hadn't checked this thread in a few years. Some great stuff. Frank Spittle is a prince of a man. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with him...
I see above mention of shortening a Econoline van long side axle. The "short" side axle of a 68-74 Econoline offset rear end is still a very long...
Uhh guys, it is in a 37 Ford, why assume the rest of it is stock? That 58 to 64 nine inch housing never came with that later style third member....
Is there a swap meet this year? I loved that swap meet. Bought lots over the years. I even went around to the Tulip Festival stuff and the...
Wicked shot from the long gone Van Isle Dragways there!
That is terrible to see. It was a beautiful car and i'm not sure any insurance settlement can make up for that. Glad to hear you and your wife...
I am using a 92 Festiva rack on my Consul Capri and it is 5/8"-36 spline, not sure if that is the same as the Vega or if there are different...
John, I've only ever seen a few of those pictures before. Very cool, never seen the butchered rear wheelwells on the Chilton and Dooley car, the...
I can't be of any help. I assumed it was something worn for playing baseball.
Texoma is easy to spot on Google, strip is still there. 3 miles west like it says, go west on 82 then north on 167, it's up 3/4 of a mile and to...
Gene Winfield doesn't look a lot different from that today. The man is ageless!
These are great. Really clear and showing the cars racing as well as in the pits. Not as good as being there but for those of us still wrecking...
up. Ditto, i've found several sites bog down because of that. I can't imagine being on dial up.
I just mine today and haven't read it all but the Ivo, Garlits and Danny Thompson stuff is great. I have been on the guided tour of Isky's and...
You guys really do gassers right! That looks like a great series. Gene's is very cool being a Ford 427.
If you check the map for Whites Canyon Road and Soledad Canyon Road it'd be just north of that intersection. All houses now.
I have to state i hate automatics and will never own one but in the case of higher stall speeds it depends a lot on application. The same...
