No Rods in my neighborhood during the mid 80's (north end of Bothell, Washington), lots of muscle though. We had a legit 69 1/2 Road Runner with...
There's an "Unsafe at any speed" joke sitting right there, but Diana looks like a lovely lady, and since this photo was from the 70's I would have...
and a titanium cup I hope.
I'm close to the Winterport Strip in Maine. They run lawn mowers there, and some of them are pretty fast (for a lawn mower). It would be a ton of...
Anyone have photos of that mini altered? Very cool.
buy a reamer and have it sent FedEx.
My 8 year old son and I saw them play last summer. Great show. Those guys sound perfect.
I'm not sure I could live in snake country. Venomous snakes CREEP me out. I grew up in western Washington and the worst thing there were black...
If it's hoarding, he's a better class of hoarder. Way better than a 2000 sq ft of home filled up with refuse and dead cats.
I use a dedicated wheel on a grinder for tungsten. I also keep an old beat up cordless drill by the grinder and chuck up the tungsten in the drill...
I've been doing the budgeted parts sourcing game the last 6 months or so. Trying to scrape together parts to do an on topic gas altered '23 T....
A tooth or two off when installing a new cam/timing set. The bent push rods were the first hint to my mistake.
Born in 1969. At first I was into VW's, but a family friend who lived down the street turned me on to muscle cars and tri-5 Chevy's. He had a 69...
Anyone using a Toyota truck axle, the type that uses a third member? I think they look better than a 10/12 bolt or ford 8.8", and there are a...
I should get the parts sometime this week. Once I'm positive I got the right parts I'll confirm I used the correct part numbers. The full $100...
I figure everything's been done for the first time by 4 or 5 different people, so I assumed this was done somewhere, for some reason. Just figured...
I'm building a T gas altered to run at our local 1/8th mile track (Inspired by SamIam's BFD). I'd love to run some vintage spindle mounted 12...
I'm building a gas altered using a T body and turtle deck. This scenario sadly is not even close to how things are for those of us living in the...
I'm trying to work out a clutch arraignment on a small block Chevy with a Lakewood bell housing and a 318 Muncie 3 speed. I'm thinking I'd like to...
I vote for the gas/fuel altered. A 96" wheel base and lots-O-motor........ I've started one this spring with a '23 T body and turtle deck. I'm...
Honestly, I've never seen that kind of setup. I've seen the couplers used on front engine dragsters, but never a solid shaft (outside of a torque...
I'm putting together an altered chassis with a solidly mounted rear axle and I'm looking for some input regarding the rear axle install. The axle...
I do have sfi 10.3. It's 90% specific to the cage and for modern altered cars 7.50 and slower. I will no doubt fall into that "slower" category. I...
I'll be running at a local 1/8th mile unsanctioned track for the most part and mostly during the vintage weekends. My chassis inspiration comes...
I've been collecting parts and tools to build a early/mid 60's style gas altered T. I'm ready to start the chassis but I have one last question...
One of the few reasons I'd go back in time to the 70's would be for this reason. All those bad ass muscle cars collecting dust on dealers back...
Was the place in your picture right down by the water in North Seattle? I grew up in Bothell in the 80's and a friends father who lived down...
There was a special edition mag with all the build articles put out and I read the Sh*t out of that thing (it's tattered remains are in the house...
I'm not looking to run front brakes, I'm putting together a 23 T gas altered. I'd like to run a pair of spindle mounted vintage magnesium spokes...
Do these run on the Ford spindle bearings?
