Amusing car stuff / funny / stories / pics , print / whatcha got

The last pic is how I tell folks that my welds look but the other ones show what they actually look like.

(yeah, I know that I stole that from the pix going around on social media)

Out of grease in a week!

 

Difference between a man that takes online welding coarse and a man that hands on learns to weld . I have welded for many years and the image of the finish TIG welds are aircraft grade welds not completed in one’s garage at home .

 

Think it would have helped to straight shaft and u joint past header tube location ? I know column and engine mounting are a mess .

 

Probably! Would have been much better to have added a long enough straight shaft to the bottom of the column, then add the U joint away from the header tube. Probably would have had to make the notch in the header pipe at a bit different angle then it is in the picture. Its pretty hard to determine for sure what is best, without seeing the rest of the steering shaft routing.

So... You think you have a big block?

This is a big block!

 

NO! NO! NO! THE OTHER LEFT!

 

This is how SAAB came up with the correct stance for their gasser project. Thats Gunther, chief designer. Gunther quit the project after a Hernia . Car was later named "Gunthers Gasser" in his honor. On his retirement day Gunther was given a stock SAAB which he frequently used to pick up chicks. After that fiasco SAAB went to the SaltFlats.

 

Wow,,,it is exactly how I remember it!
BTW,,,,,this is a result of that race!

 

I think that stands for Spin Tires On Pavement!
