Technical ***July 2017 Banger Meet - A Midsummers Dream of Bangers***

This is what many of you missed on Saturday the 8th..The Santa Margarita Ranch Time Trials!

 

was that car blue before ?

 

Nope! It's always been bare aluminum! The guy lives in Santa Margarita. He went to one of Ron Covell's panel banging workshops. Went out and bought all the tools, including a plenishing hammer and English Wheel. Took him years to craft this body. When he was done and put the car together, he sold all the tools.

 

GO HOME AND TELL YOUR MOTHER SHE WANTS YA!

 

thank you on the car

 

two pictures- that's all we get?

 

Now I need a 5k mechanical tach

Just picked this up last week...

 

Nice!
Let me know if it ever goes on the market. I really regret selling mine!

 

I discovered for some reason, even though I am still "watching", somehow the notifications part changes....its bloody weird .
SO , If I don't see any bangers notifications for a few days , I log in and unwatch the current banger thread...then immediately "watch" it again , making sure I have changed the pop up panel from the default to " receive email notifications". Seems to work afterwards.

 

ryan has some kinda clitch as many do not get updates

 

Tachs are easy honest. There are a lot around I must have 20+ NOS mechanical ones
I've brought them all over for years.

Even have one for my Wife's Siata OHV equipped, supercharged Topolino Roadster
I have a S/W winged 4500 in my 39GMC for 30 years. Came outta an aircraft and ever has a built-in engine hours counter

Ask Want37 here on this tread.

Just a sample...........

 

Partial to silver myself. How come they don't get any luv?

 

just the way the head came .

 

Had some fun with cardboard. 96" wb, 8" drop in the front, 7" in the rear. 6" engine set back. 4" stagger on the seats. Ran out o material...ass has gotten bigger, had to expand the seat width (both combined) from 34" to 36".

lots of work . like the steering wheel

 

thank you! it was off the last speedster, the buyer got aggressive on the price, so i started unbolting parts until we came to an accord.

 

Based on your cardboard Rorschach Test this is what came to my mind. Bob

 

those are cool

 

Funny enough, I mulled over following the shape radiator top all the way back and having a really pinched upper cowl. It is still very narrow, but, not as narrow as the Laurel-Roof cars.

 

Front shot. Have some ideas on how I will get the bits all tucked in.

Love that super narrow look
This car has been inspiration to me
Go with it for sure

 

ok you have my attention . hopefully you have more pix

 

That's not my car. Just a picture I had stored

 

Andrew....
That car is a fake FRONTY lovely car if it ever gets a real motor.
It's kicking round the US somewhere. I once knew it's story but it's been thru so many hands the story has changed over and over

I like the "In case I get lost return me to" tag on the grill.......

 

Narrow front? Notice the oil tank........

@edfueler looks like a lot of fun. I thought I got covered in mud at the dirt drags running twice right after the water truck. That doesn't compare to your mud. Haha.
