Not only was Dode a drag racing and hot rod legend, he was also a WWII vet. I was lucky enough to pal around with a bunch of old hot rodders in...
Back again after four years. The Elto midget shown at the very top is now for sale:...
Anyone making that trip any time soon? Found a good roof for my bumpside f100 pickup. Sorry, not relevant hot rod parts - just trying to do some...
Spoken for.
On a totally pointless note, I tripped out when I saw your screen name. My name is Nathan Stewart too. Crazy.
Here I is. I ain't dead. Car's been sitting on jackstands since I bought my chassis dyno. Having the dyno and my side business has kept me...
It's been a long time since I've posted on here. Surprised my account is even still active. Anyways, I've got these big wooden mock up wheels...
Had a friend that bought a lawn sprayer pump thingy and he mixed diesel with a little kerosene (I think). Before he drove out onto the salt he...
a couple months ago i was walking out of an athletics store and heard the rumble of some vintage aircraft. i looked up and nearly jizzed myself....
the sheep are scared mate! this is big nate btw.... i'm a xxl aka american land speed racer. looking forward to seeing everyone!
why? because a 28-29 A sedan is too god damn tall, that's why. first thing i'm doing? not at all. the chop will be the last thing i do.
Thanks guys. The steering was one thing that was really hanging me up and it's nice to be making progress again.
Air was bigger back then.
Wow, an update! I finally got the steering box partially mounted. Lemme show you.... I think I mentioned it before but I cut off the flange...
Nice to finally meet you Doug. Great pics as always.

i went and i thought it was pretty frickin epic. definitely a once in a lifetime deal where you'll be able to see all those cars together in one...
Yes those are nice manifolds but way overkill for only 400 hp. Look back a few pages and you'll see the manifold I designed but decided not to...
300hp easy is definitely cool but this should make 400hp without breaking a sweat.
all moved in now... [IMG] my brother's streamliner [IMG] [IMG] turbo manifold. still need to add on the wastegate. [IMG] [IMG]
a very mild low boost setup (<7psi) would probably be fine for the street without having to go crazy on the motor. more boost means more money...
Progress has been slow. I kinda took some time off and have been spending more time with my wife and family. I did finally start working on the...
Mind sharing some details on how you made the flange that the tunnel attaches to? [IMG] Thanks! Loooks great BTW.
I think it's cool as hell. Dunno if they'll get 7500 people to sign up for it though.
Looks as if 'gas' class (probably gas coupe/sedan) didn't allow top chops so in order to run in 'gas' they had to add height back in to the top of...
LOL well it definitely wasn't me coming in that kicked you out and the 10 member limit is long gone. I didn't come into the club until '97 and in...
