Okay, gonna bring this one back from the dead. I'm sure there's more crank driven blower info out there! And WHAT IN THE HELL is that engine in...
I recognize them bikes! Drove the truck that hauled 'em up and back. One is a '53 Triumph speed twin, other is a 43 Indian Scout Pony. Both 500cc....
Kicking it again. Maybe someone knows something?
Kick for the evening crowd. Anyone got any pictures, reports, anything?
Kick for the morning crowd
That was very likely the sponsor of the car. I've also heard Ak Miller was involved with it, which would make sense as Ak seemed to prefer...
The title pretty much says it all. Ran a blown 331 Cadillac and I think it had a chopped Austin Bantam body. Anyone remember anything about the...
Fix the offy heads. Those Edmunds heads will be worth a lot to the right person.
It doesn't run 'cause God thinks converting a points system is sacrilegious.
That's incredible. Do they mention who is behind this attempt? I see everything was being made in LA, but they dont't get any more specific than that.
Well, the service was great. Lots of folks had stories to tell about Fritz, including some from his wilder days, like streaking the track at the...
I saw a picture of that car a long time ago in Hot Rod (I think). Same model t steering wheel, same everything.
Yup, still cracks me up when I see the picture. Married on the salt with the groom wearing flip-flops and shorts.
The very first thing I would do is take the points off the coils and sand everything until it was shiny. Sand the nuts on the side that holds the...
I didn't know Fritz was born in Nebraska. Interesting. I do know his dad ran Newport Plating for many years, so I always assumed he was born in...
Fritz Kott died at the age of 66 on Thursday, June 2, on the way to the hospital. He had been working on a 1953 DeSoto in preparation for the...
Well damn, I thought the exact same thing.
Damn, talk about a stupid motherfucker. He made it look JUST LIKE a street-rodded '34 ford. What a waste of a good rare car. If he was going to...
Model A fords had a similar setup.
Join the club. I want a Duesenberg SJ. I mean come on, it's got a 320 horse straight eight! Or perhaps "Babs". A Liberty V-12 powered...
Make sure you run up to the LA area and check out the Petersen Automotive Museum.
Orange all the way. I'm normally not a raving fan of Deuces as they're such a goddamn cliche car, but that is fucking neat. The built Jimmy 6 is...
I'm also in Vista; Welcome to the HAMB. I saw that T a few times at Grand. Rather fun little car.
RIP Bettie. It's been said before, but bears repeating, the world is a bit uglier now.
Aluminum is a bitch. You are running a bit hot right now; your puddle is a bit too "teardrop" shaped. Varying the current is a good way to go. Hit...

May all those who fought and died in the attack rest in peace.
Damn, that's lit up like my uncle on a Friday night.
They'll do 60 if you balance the crank and put a high-compression head on there ;) I know a guy whose boss owns one set up that way. Bone stock...
Yup, that's a Schneider racing cams sticker. Very slick.
