    No reason to ever let off Rocky! I've never had so much fun getting beat!
    Robbie is talking me into coming down to Eagle Field, so maybe you can whip me again! LOL
    Your rail is too cool!

    Hahaha, the one thing I couldn't find at Turners was the pivot ball for the fork. So after much thought I decide on a 1/2" ball out of a rod end and cut a 1/2" bolt to size and tapped it to thread my clutch cable into it. A note about the tranny, the input area that holds the needle brgs was packed with Hi Temp Brg Grease and I try to avoid letting the car run in nuetral, lessoning the problem of heat build-up in this area.
     
  9. Most impressive!
    Loved the trans remake. I suppose you had a hundred folks drop by telling you it couldnt be done too. That of course is always a sign you ARE on the right track.

    Look for the TWIN to appear, NOT Race (saving it for Eagle Field :D) Friday Sept 7th, Hot Rods on the Bluffs, Fresno CA........ Saturday Sept 8th, the Kingdon Drags, Lodi CA........Sunday Sept 9th the Valve Burners Car Show, Snelling CA, and September 15th, Billetproof in Antioch, CA.
    Look for the Speed & Chrome Booth along with about 6 other Friends to join us @ Billetproof. Then its time to get Ready For Eagle Field, October 6th!
