The Official NAILHEAD Powered Thread!

I know Russ Martin really well.We're both from Fremont.I think I know more about Nailheads than I ever wanted to just by hanging around him for so long, he is seriously a demented Nailhead guru......lol

 

The Riviera my nailhead went back into:

 

I've built a few over the years...gotta lov'm!!

'33 P/U...'31 C-dan...'65 Stevens flat bottom...'37 Chevy...what's next???

 

that boat is a win.

 

Here's my work in progress - 264 nailhead going into a '36 Olds coupe.

 

That boat is drop dead gorgeous.

 

Thanks.
I picked the boat up in pretty bad condition for the 354 Hemi that was in it and had planned on chopping up the boat and trail and junk them. I guess I took a little different direction with it!

We had a blast with it on the lake for a summer...but it's moved on.

Yeah that´s awesome! Did you fabricate the blower intake by yourself? Or where did you get? Is it 6-71 blower you got?

 

I made the manifold from 3/8 aluminum plate, and a set of eelco intake risers. Its basically a box that you bolt to the intake risers. Click my signature, and there is detailed pics of it on my build thread.

 

Here's my current project that I picked up from Russell Martin

 

I got Nailed a few years ago.,,, Here's a link:
