I forgot to mention the front axle was a little bent at the end of the day, pretty sure I can straighten it out and run it for now but I will replace it with a drilled out stock Willys axle I have before I race it again.

 

I'm sure not trying to be a smart ass, but have you checked that the fuel tank is venting properly at speed?

 

Damn Kevin that's bad ass!

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. The Triumph is a fairly worn hemi, the Indian is a less worn flathead, so it all evened out. Both bikes ran in the low 13s, (missed shift here, engine trouble there, you know the drill).
I hope we're back to the quarter next year, but 1/8 is definitely better than up and down the driveway.

 

29bowtie.....Yes, tank has a big vented cap that works fine, I have a bigger aluminum tank that will be going in when I change out the fuel line. There are some fittings back there that look pretty restrictive. It basically has a 3/8 line to the front which I thought would be no problem on a 283 but I guess not. Anyway let's not turn Bob's thread into a trouble shooting session. Let's see some more pics, tons of cool machinery there.

 

Love that thing by the way... The '37 that is!

 

Anybody know how 4bangertroy from Phoenix did? A black primered, red Kelsey'd, fenderless '30coupe with a vicious Model "A" banger. Troy, if you read this call me, I lost the last number of your phone number trying to text you yesterday... Damn technology!

 

Troy lost in second round. If I remember right, his times were in the 11.4 range.

Thanks!

 

Bob, thanks for taking the time ta post the pics. Steve

 

That '34 Hupp ragtop doesn't look like its running quite as hard as the Willys'.

Later, Kinky6

 

Thanks to you Bob for being willing to post all the great places and cars that most of us will never see.....It must be awesome to live in the California car scene....Much appreciated! Centurion9

 

Hupp ragtop kicked my ass.

 

What a prankster... where are the rest of the pix?!?!?!

Thanx for posting. Gary

 

Well...I hate to inform you guys,but I almost lost three fingers on a table saw today. Have to have surgery tomorrow to put the bones back together.
I'll see how many pic's I can post up with one hand.....SO BE FUCKING PATIENT!!!

 

Holy shit dude - Be careful out there!

 

hope everything works out for you tmrw BOB why are you playing with sharp shit ????

 

I'm in ALOT of pain right now so I think I'll leave the pic posting til I feel better.

 

Bob good luck with your fingers.I hope everything works out.I just had suegery last week and I'm on disability for a couple of weeks. I fractured mine.Take care my friend.

 

Bob,

I hope everything works out for you tomorrow.

I hope the picture taking fingers aren't involved.

I was ripping some window trim pieces and pushed the piece through,turned the saw off,bent down to turn the crank to descend the blade not realizing my arm was falling towaed the blade and BAM,my fingers stopped the blade! If it was still running,I would have lost the tips of my index,middle and ring fingers.

I'm much better with metal than wood,haha...

 

WHEELS UP !!!! Yee Haw. I wear my "Nasty Habit" tee every chance I get !!!
Great coverage as usual Bob, thanks.

 

Toms roadster looks sooo much better with the new tire / wheel combo.

Pete-

 

It's just really painful...
Did you make it home okay?

 

i was just joking with you man if you need anything let me know

 

Holly crap, good luck with the doc. Last fall I put an 1/8" saw cut through my right index fingernail. One finger was bad enough but 3... Ouchie !!
