holy ****.


thanks for the pics.

 

I love this shot.

 

Awesome, awesome stuff...thanks.

Hey, what is this?

Diagonal 4 cylinder with dedicated exhaust runners feeding the blower (I think?) and offset rear banjo, some crazy power steering front axle setup(?!).... wow

 

Supercharged Austin 7 special. Mark Sange, Bolinas, CA. Cylinder on tie rod is damper.
We are building a similar car with offset driveline at Infineon Raceway (Sears Point, CA)
Thanks for the post Alan, first time in 4 years I have not been able to go.
Thanks for ignoring most of the goddam Porsches!!!!

Jim (thought I was a GM guy till this car came along!!)

 

If you can't get inspired by these parts and pieces, you can't get inspired. Great.

 

Thanks for taking such great pics. Always liked the Dekon Monza. I know that hot rod legend Doane Spencer was responsible in part for building them when he worked for Chris Cord. Anybody know anything else about them?

 

10-4 Bonesy, that's what I was thinkin'...

 

the goddam Porsches!!!! were one of the feature marques...but they just never did it for me either...now that Ranger powered sprinter....well...

 

So you and Mark Sange are the enchanted elves...are you guys watchmakers too...beatutiful work!

 

Jeem and I were wondering about the front axle setup (the small black bracket on the drivers side that attaches to the sleeve? on the axle not the dampener on the tie rod ) awesome pics and an awesome austin

 

A great collection, Thank you very much for sharing

 

*****in'

Yeah, the damper (shock) is visible, but there is still the unit encomp***ing the tube axle?!

 

Glad you liked my photos!
This looks like "good ink" on the Dekon cars...

Seems the unit on the axle is just a mounting flange for the
dampener-body mounting bracket. Overly elaborate tho! The kingpin areas are also a bit over the top...............maybe an axle from something more exotic??

The dampener rod goes right thru the tubular body (black) and has a stop flange on the inboard end. A lot of sports bikes have this style dampener.
