Caster is relationship axle to frame; so if rear tire height is changed to change frame rake, that will also effect caster. Right???? Slight...
The you tube video about the Briggs & Stratton V8 show’s jewelry been build. Most impressive!!!! If that man every started building hot rods, I...
^^^. Would love to see all the details how it was built/put together
Work on hood lock down so remains open one inch while you drive but still tight. One inch gap to let hot air escape
Like the hub caps
U do have the experience - started with one horsepower. Love the detail of your build
Suggest you try it with helmet, fire suit & actual seat you will use. Last picture not much room above your head.
Love that video of 1914 Peugeot & been watching lot of of “Ivan’s shed” stuff. Wow what a collection. Always loved the few Bugetties I have seen
I do not understand the purpose of the mag & rotor add on if the mag is always set at 20 degrees advance. Been years since I used one
Been years since I messed with mag on a vette; but seem to remember always set at max advance that why hard to start on street duty. Manually...
Please put some kind of chain guard on that thing.
Sorry folks; for me the 55 & 56 were better looking then 57,8 or 9
Panhard bar? In hard cornering I believe cross spring with shackles allows some weight shift to outside of a cornering dirt car. Or the other way...
The only thing a 57 vette needs is 54 headlights ( god forbid the rocket taillights ) & a 5 speed
I see you only running a shackle on passenger side front spring. I know some dirt racers used to do this & eliminates need for panhard bar. Do not...
Your truck your choice. But I like the hood stripe splitting around cab & I like the bed side box stripe. Skip the fenders stripe.
How about a few pictures of restored altered
I do not know what the old show wheel standers did; but do you plan any oil system modifications to keep the engine alive for 1/4 mile pass?...
Love it. Had 1 day like that. Dirt, small tire & no wings, so much fun. Now move all the drivers on the left - inside of the turns. What the...
Wow, I am reminded of funny story. Many years ago, friends dad had lawn mower sales & repair shop. Started selling new brand Japanese motorcycle...
I have a rule try never to criticize someone’s car - but #4 at beginning list. The rims, the high/tall engine, the headers that sweep up, the rear...
^^^ agree “rolfzoller” post is crazy wild. Question: tube bottom of brake drum out to bottom spring. What is it? Some type of mechanical brake lever?
No, ask about way mag is driven. Pic on post 260 & 262 looks different
Looks like you made some kind of magneto drive change?
WOW, u want to make me a pair? You could sell copies, but, with your time & effort would cost a mint. Very nice work!
Dump the funny cars & bring back fuel altered. Hell, dump the fuel dragsters & bring back the old junior fuelers
Sure did a great job saving those rims - sweet looking
^^^. Thanks for write up on roller starts. Never saw one in eastern Pennsylvania. The push starts we’re part of the show years ago. See now that...
^^. Been drag racing long time - roller starter new to me. Tks for info
Sure unique rear shock mount for that Vincent special. Wonder if they work ok & do the job. Looks like strapped down on a “tune up” rack to also...
