Not sure if i already posted these so ill do it again, or maybe not...I dont know. We built these in our shop. The fairlane was built by my hotrod class. Just a bunch of 16 year olds and myself. Willys is all steel. and the 57 has been around since "The Day" I just cleaned it up , built a hood scoop, and shot some flames on it.
hey i work with Jim Sibley and have been talking about making a gaser out of my 67 datsun. i have started gathering parts and i was just wondering if you know how much of a chop that is in the drawing
Hey man, your car is OUTSTANDING in every way...but those plastic fuel lines running up alongside the belt and hugging close to that front header tube are freakin me out. Hope you don't think I'm a dick for pointing that out, but charred race cars were a way of life for me for a long time so I'm kinda anal about that shit.
hey dave ,Mark Moore here i would like to know where this pic of the 33 plymouth was taken looks real familiar to me
I'm build a one of none '63 Pontiac Catalina Gasser. Grew up with gassers and always loved Pontiacs and early big cars. So I combined my loves. Might name It CatZilla. I'm building a full forged '60 389 .090 over to 406. Forged crank, aluminum GRP rods, Ross blower pistons, full roller boost cam and using an intercooled turbo. I would love a big ol' blower but once you've driven fast turbo cars, they are hard to leave. The Blower would look and sound better though. The heads are a set of KRE D-port 325 cfm aluminum wind a Victor/750 CSU blow thru carb. Building the rear frame rails right now to get those big rear tires/rims under the car. . I'll be dropping the motor back into the firewall, how much is to be determined. Either a full built 4L80E or a built T-56 6 speed. I want the 6 speed but the turbo like automatics better for all out ET. Mark L
Umm... Many photos of the American Rik-Shaw at this website: http://rikshaw.squarespace.com/ [/IMG]http://www.autodrawings.net/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=detail&id=27048&Itemid=335
I have a few updates since my previous post. Got the frame narrowed, the rearend widened, and the wheelwells tubbed. Tilted the front end, cut out the firewall, pulled the cut out section back, and filled it all in. And just dropped the mock up motor/trans in to start the mounts. Mark L
Here's one that's pretty high by today's standards. The owner and I did this as a joint effort at his home shop. Can't wait for summer!!!!
