Hot Rods Everybody's got a Dream...

Hot dammm Jeff that is one bitchin roadster.

 

Jeff, Great! Now you will HAVE to come out to California when you get it done, to either the GNRS or the CHRR...Doug

 

You sick bastard! I love it.

 

How about what he put on the back of Gibby Haynes' Chevy! (A rotten arm w/ a hypo sticking out of that said "Mother" under it!) Fantastic!

 

Your artwork is out of control as well....VERY GOOD.

 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow! Love it, Jeff! This car is gonna be pure bad- ass! I cant wait to see the progress on the build as well as the finished product. The illustrations look fantastic! Nice touch with Snidely Whiplash!

 

Nice!

 

thats ahsome!!!!!!!!! U drawer gewd..

 

Jeff--glad to see some drawings. That's a bitchin' finned Moon timing cover on that hemi of yours . . . . And I'm glad you got the approval of the better half.

Matt

 

Awesome....

Now hurry up....

Cheers,

Drewfus

P.S. I share your influences, although I want a 3 window coupe, think 'Sheldon Schmit's coupe (PHR Oct 62 cover) and you'll see what I mean

 

That's my kind of build Jeff! Will we be seeing you at Bowling Green, or will I have to make a trip to Lancaster to see it??

 

Damn, you are one talented son-of -a-bitch! Awesome vision...Can't wait to see it come together.

 

bitchin' vision !

 

HAHA, awesome........Dick Dastardly on the insert rules.

 

Happy with high 10s or 11s? Blown and injected on alky, and you can shut it off at 900 ft and do that. Give yourself (and Neil) some respect.

I'm liking the radiator for an injected motor though. No worries..ever..about getting hot.

I've never tried injection with gas. I understand it's more tempermental than alky.

It'll be way cool regardless. I wanna run you.

 

good lord... at least you don't need help with the sketches do ya?

sick man, real sick.

 

You crazy, man!

 

Jeff, I appreciate that. I'll tell Terry and Randy you said hey. Blown alky makes a lot of power though. For real. It will be fast. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'd do it if I could.

I like injected alky. If nothing else it looks cool. You can run a 9s or 10s pretty easy. There is more maintenance than gas and a carb, but not a ton. Biggest thing is to get all the fuel out of the pump, lines and nozzels when you aren't racing. Hilborn has a guide on their site you can download.

You can start it in the pits, drive to the line, race and drive back. I prefer to have a both a cooling system and good charging system. Makes the car trouble free.

Also remember there is a lot of cost in safety equipment, parts etc if you go fast, especially in an open bodied blown alky car. -20 firesuit, fire system etc.$2-3K at least.

You're gonna have fun fun fun no matter what.

 

I dig it!

 

Jeepers Jeff! I need to sit down and try to draw some things up for my car... It "looks" as good as your drawings do in my head, but once I sit down with a pencil and paper it all goes to snot. If I created some "schematics" like you did I think most of the hard work would be done.
Can't wait to see progress on this!

 

I can`t wait to see it run at MOKAN!!!

 

What's the oil change interval on Alky, I was thinking when I was helping crew for Bernie it was changed every other round? It sure turned it to milk but was cool to see the injector hat with frost on it after a pass.
A simple one man show is a good idea on the mechanicals, once you need fuel squirted to fire,arm restraints and a fire system it's not really a one man deal anymore.

 

On the injected Fordoor we have a fuel pump plumbed into the barrel valve , momentary switch on, self primes while your cranking it, it works great It is the line in the rear of the valve.

 

DW: Norwell has been talking trash and wants to have a show down at the Round-Up.... Can you believe he's bringing his truck down?

 

I'm a cylinder head guy in a race engine shop. Alky and injection is no problem. Ask any sprint car guy. The two have been together for a long time and there is lots of info out there. To me the bad part of alky is the condensation and rust that comes with it. Total Seal Gapless piston rings help a bit with the alky/oil contamination but, they hold the moisture above the rings and can rust the cylinder alittle if the engine sits to long. Fog or pickle the engine at the end of the day. I don't type too good PM me if you want to. I can explain things better by phone.

Yeah yeah........I've heard that before.

BRING IT SON! hahaha
