I'm gonna be that guy... we have the 303 from the '31 Cabriolet on a stand for some new seals and a bit of top end work. I figure while its apart...

Here's how we start things off here in Phoenix.... With dragsters in the middle of the neighborhood and "shutting down" public roads....
A few more shots from the No Fly Zone event turned up today. We're doing our annual Thanksgiving morning cruise in a couple weeks and I'll update...

No idea on the rear ratio. I've not taken the time to figure it out yet. I would imagine it's got 4.11's. I think it'll be a bit faster if I can...

If it helps me get this car back on the road you're welcome to use a thousand question marks!!
My luck has run out. A big old crack developed in the cap on the DuCoil I'm running on the 31 Cabriolet. I know how rare they are and I'm hoping...

I was half joking when I made my comment but if I do end up with this my plan would be to clean it up and drive it as a daily like I do everything...
I've got a couple other projects going but I fit the description. Young, somewhat talented, broke as hell..... Sent from my SM-G955U using The...
So... build it like a tank and have it heat treated? Seems easy enough. This is the sort of stuff I don't think about. Sent from my SM-G900V...
