No problem. I am just hoping to buy some space at the show to sell some of my stuff. Wanting to plan the weekend now. Can't find any info on line.
Thanks for the list. But April 22-24, 2012 is Sunday through Tuesday. Those are the dates for the 2011 meet....
The 2011 meet at the Creek County Fairgrounds was great. Does anyone know about the 2012 meet? I have been looking on line but can't find any...
I have three things to say about that. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. The starter should have never started the tree with the car sitting...
Those who don't have a 41 Chevy probably would not understand.
Top of the kingpin leaning backwards toward the rear is positive caster. Dragsters run large amounts of positive caster.
Serial number tag should be on the floor in front of the passenger seat. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=460529 Actually,...
And, in Episode IV, Skywalker says that Chewy is a "prisoner transfer from cell block 1138" when they go to get Princess Leah.
There is some slope down to the rocker boxes. The braces all have a certain amount of curve to them. All of the replacement panels I have seen are...
Absolutely. My understanding is that the GM plant is closer to Shanghai than the Ford plant. They told me that is why you see more GM's than...
Been to Shanghai twice. Last time in September. Didn't see any hot rod activity. The traffic was crazy. First time I saw a Buick Lacrosse was in...
It all takes some tweaking, but it looks good. With the fenders adjusted, it looks like Chevy made it that way.
The EMS pan comes tall enough to blank out the tail lights. I cut mine cuz I wanted to keep the stock lights.

Entry 181, photo on the right, shows the stock core support on the right and the one I modified for a larger radiator on the left. You can clearly...
Improving the appearance without popping for a new radiator. Depending on your skills:...
The front sheet metal on the 41 is supported only by the center of the core support. To stabalize the front sheet metal, Chevy put a "V" shaped...
I have a 41 2 door sedan. Even though it is a 4 door, since it is running, it is probably worth the price. Remember, it has a splash and pray...
As far as I know, nobody makes those mount reinforcements. They reinforce the floor and tie the floor, wheelhouse, and cross brace together. It...
Muscle Car TV will be re-running the dual snorkel show Sunday, Jan. 2 at 12:30 PM ET. Step by step and Rick puts an awesome paint job on it.
You are thinking like a guy building one car. Having all of your bolts grade 8 might cost you an extra $5. No biggie. But, if you are building...
Not quite. The GT had the aluminum extend out to the edge of the wheel. These are more like S/S's. The centers have a matte finish rather than a...
The thing you must remember about these cars is that the rear springs held the rear of the car up and the torque tube controlled the "wind-up" of...
Got my Stuka selling greeting cards. Mom was scared to death I would kill myself with it. Had a family friend who "knew" how to fly them. Wouldn't...
