Were they bought out by anyone?

I was in Salerno 2007-2008........they lobbed more than rocks at that place.
Got on location a few days ago....seeing if anyone is up here at Camp Marmal or any where up in RC North.
Thats what I was thinking as well.....I guess I was kinda thrown for a loop for a second after doing a google search it showed transaxles....and I...
How much side skip would I be looking at using a trailing arm/swing arm set-up with live axle?
Was referring to the de Dion transaxle to banger. Are all of these rear ends trans axles, or are some of them just a swing axle?
I guess this would be a good time to ask for pics of a rear engine roadster with a de Dion? Keep in mind that disc brakes.....are too...
Any rough idea's what the length would be starting at the timing gear of combined 4banger, 39 trans, adapter, and coupling to center axle (also...
Can anyone post pictures of period correct setups....like the trailing arms/swing arm? Not just the Carrillo Roadster, but others as...
I want to go with what was done back then...I can deal with the short comings and adapt to how the handling is.....we all adapt to different...
Not all NC is that way......in Fayetteville they'll try and find something....whether or not it will get dismissed in court.
Are you gonna "z" the front as well to bring the ride height down with the back? Dont toss the axle or bones by any means.....the bones are...
The plan is to be able to run it on the street and at Maxton (should it re-open)or alternate location, and maybe a couple times at Bonneville. Im...
I think if its set up similar to split bones or a ladder bar set up, with transverse spring and shocks...that it should accommodate just fine for...
Pivoting would be much better than rigid. Its kinda a crap shoot, but Im not afraid to try it....couldnt be any worse than my old '60 Sportster...
Does the weight of wheels and tires also have to be computed when determining the CG?
So basically.....connect engine to trans, trans to rear, attach spring....make a hefty teeter totter and figure out the center of gravity and it...
See, this is all making more sense now.....going off old pics and cut-away drawings only goes so far. Was there anything in particular that was...
Are there any pics of these setups? HRM....you have any pics of the engine mounts from the Carrillo restoration?
Maybe not a tribute for say.....but, one cant argue that there is something very spiritual in the hot rod sense about a traditional REMR....just...
It couldnt be much different, but for the hassle of going up I95.....Bonneville all the way.
Yeah....not sure where there moving the event to yet......I think with all the support in the area that another suitable location will be found or...
Is there a thread on rear mounted engines on the site any where? I used the search box....and not a lot of tech articles. I may not be using key...
Lots of great pics of one of the finest modified T-roadsters out there. Maybe some more info can be added to this thread as far as specs and more...
