Hi Butch, is the Houston heat finally getting to you? Is it true that to bake a patato that you just wrap it in black plastic and lay it on the...
Hi old 6, from that angle, it reminds me of the old green monster of Art Arfons.
Hi Butch, I hope your foot is healing well. Your car looks great with the new body parts. You are just a couple of panels away from a streamliner....
Just look at the top right and see if your name is there. If not you will not have a message board to type in.
To this date there has not been a newer chevy 6, 230 or bigger, or ford six 200 or bigger to run at the SDRA races. But there might be three 320...
Thanks Rocky, now it looks like the first GTO motor. I really like to see different motors like this. It looks like maybe, an Early/Gas Rail....
What he said. You are the only judge of what you build. I have a later slant and nobody cares, It's still a slant. I hope nobody shows up with a...
Hi Russking, the reason for the cutout date ending with 1961, was that newer motors could possibly turn more rpm with seven mains. and the 194...
A 262 ford, that is a rare one. were they only made from 60 to 64?
Hi Kerry, have you heard of the www.southwestjrfuelers.com/ . There is three in the Tulsa area and more around this area. They run 410 in, iron...
Is anyone going to tell us about that one with the flathead straight 8?
To you slant 6 guys. I got my double roller timing chain from Clifford's. It came from Australia. Joe
Hi Butch, I put you and your car on the list of can yours do a burnout. I guess that you don't need to be in it to qualify as a burnout. From your...
I just received and E-Mail from Butch Nassau, that he had an accident and crushed his foot. I hope that he heals fast without any problems or much...
I think we would see more action with a broken parts list. I have a lot more of those than wheelie's (O).
How hard would it be to use a modern master cylinder and use the two chambers, one for each side.
Hi Robert, sorry to hear about your scarey ride. What jeep rear end are running? Has anyone in your area started to build one of these? Joe
Barn Job 18 into the 12's @ 105, just wait until he gets a new clutch. Are there any newer cars that have built to the point where they can do a...
If you can find a cv joint, use it. I have seen an aluminum one at a salvage, and did not think of it at that time, I regret that. The only thing...
That one hand thing happens alot when you are grabing gears. I use an aluminum corvair steering gear box. You can control some of the steering...
Hi Robert, you raise a good question. When I think about it, it one breaks you can have movement. With a third in there it should not move. But...
Hi Dick, that sounds good. 5 cars? can we get a full report with a little on each car? And have a great weekend. Joe
I think that Dick said NO on square tube. Thanks Dick
Hi Bobw, for your display, you could post pictures of some (the more the better) of other cars, and handout sheets of the rules. You never know...
If it is tilted, does that make it a wantabe slant 6? Have you found an SFI rating on that mail box scoop?
Well Bobw, I guess that I need to claim the fastest slant six HA/GR in 2009, 12.25 @108 before you get yours together, I am watching your build,...
Butch, how much of that summer heat did you can?
Will we see another little ford six at Eagle Field, Tulsa, or Mokan? good luck
If I remember corectly at that time, I did say build it, I think? but that's just me. It's only a theary, but I think that apposed or pancake make...
Welcome Superbinder. I don't know which way a corvair motor turns. If needed maybe you could turn a regular rearend upside down. Light motor, no...
