Wendell Scott and son?
Studebaker, but judging by the small ports not the later engines.
I thumbed through it at Barnes & Noble and put it back down. The gas dragster article might have been the saving grace but I didn’t even check...
Curved spring only on the 1932-‘34 cars.
Those are likely photos by Vivian Maier, she came to America from France, first settling in New York and then living in Chicago for decades. She...
Having the luxury of being in a large metropolitan area with multiple sources I have to ask because I don’t know the answer to this- if I wanted...
Yeah, McMaster and other industrial suppliers have them but you might have to purchase a large quantity. Is the bolt 5/16-18 or 3/8-16, and how...
Billy “The Kid” Scott, RIP, with Linda.
If a ‘34 coupe and a Bugatti had a kid ^
Frank Gorshin and John Smith in Hot Rod Girl. Driver ???
1948’ish Anglia, I imagine they used them for a few years.
And it would be the only 350 block that had the hole in the block next to the distributor for crankcase ventilation.
There were only 700 or so of that model produced and you want to find someone that’s restoring, or building a tribute car of a drag car that ran...
Here's the article on the Corvette walled in within a building, but it's not quite as I remembered. It wasn't entombed in a grocery, it was a...
It was easy to pick you out of that group Marty, that head of hair gives you away. And unlike most of us in our age bracket you still have yours....
Yes, you pretty much nailed it, there was an earlier article in Hemming’s Special Interest Autos, if I can dig it up I’ll scan and post it. I’m...

They look like they would accept the factory rubber mounts for a SBC or BBC.
The GM plant I worked in had 3 x 5 x 2” thick blocks, they came creosoted and when put down hot tar was poured on them to help keep them in place....
The post by @John Lee Williamson made me think of a local guy turned mobster. There was a Sunoco station next to the parking lot for a large...
That original condenser has the characteristic split where the brass was rolled over the Bakelite top. IIRC @tubman said he’s tested split ones...
Marty, do you think the Dragmaster Six car and the Dragmaster blown wedge car from the same era might have been one and the same? @123 do you have...
I’ve seen ‘60’s Econoline and Dodge van boxes, VW bus boxes and also early Ross steering boxes used. I think the Dodge might be a bit clunkier the...
Look at this comparison, I think the 2nd photo shows a wider scatter shield over the change gears suggesting that it is a Halibrand Champ quick...
The Studebaker DOHC engine was engineered by Leo Goossen and built by Indy mechanic Willy Utzman for a J.C. Agajanian car. When it was started in...
OK, I did a little digging and I found out that E.M. Co. was operated by Tony Cirello, he ran Engineering Modification Company and that was an...
I have no knowledge of your magneto but I suspect Cirello and the E.M. Company may have been taking a commercially available mag, adding the...
Penny pincher and pretty wise too. I heard years ago that when he match raced he preferred to be paid in gold whenever possible.
