Jack up only one rear tire. Mark your drive shaft/pinion and the rear tire. With car in neutral, rotate the rear tire 10 times, counting the...
We always put the quick box under the dash.
Dad bought his new, not long after I was born. It got killed in '90 after we left the sprint car races one night. A drunk rear-ended us, flipping...
I rode tens of thousands of miles in a 65 Econoline same color as that one when I was a kid.
Replace the coil with a known good unit, and watch the sparks fly.
I put Cars in the Top 5 racing movies made. This short looks fun. Thanks.
Yeah, and?
Ribbed for her pleasure?
What about thin oil for rear & trans. We used ATF in out quick change when dirt track racing. Lighter fluids rob less power.
John, Do you run the friction coating on trans & rear end gears? Or do you have pieces from a Nascar superspeedway car in the truck?
I suggest you balance that fan after cutting it. I had one that used up water pumps after being cut to fit an OT car.
Everyone has their own thing. You will have to find yours. A good place to start is at car shows. Around here, the only things we discuss are pre...
With the title, I was expecting small, yellow dump trucks. Thanks for the real cars. Nice photos.

Better every time I look. Go, mam, go!
The one I see in the photo, as just dragged from the bushes, $2k to $3k, depending on what it was, option-wise. But it really depends on what the...
If you are referring to a beach, then a couple inches should be fine. All beach race pictures I've seen are very flat and smooth. Getting to the...
THANKS! You answered as I was asking. Awesome museum!
Can you post a link to that site? When I type it in, GoDaddy wants to sell me the domain name of revs.org.
The drivers today are so lucky to not face the racers of yesterday. Little Lumpy beat the monster.
Probably half a dozen logging chains and tie straps, numerous assorted hand tools, a tow-truck chain with j-hook on one end and a "frame-eye tab"...
Left ain't right, and right ain't wrong.

Beautiful car. Simplicity in form with loads of function.
