Got some caps on the car for now, that at least resemble what it would’ve been running when built [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Small update, I think I’ve figured out a name of who owned the car in the 1960’s, George R Haynie. From one story I’ve gathered that the car was...
Shifter location isn’t as terrible as it appears. I’m 6’4 and drove it 40 miles home without thinking the shifter was in the wrong spot
Yeah, best I can tell the donor was a 65 falcon or ranchero. Has the 289/4 speed/rear/wiring harness/seats/instrument cluster/and pedals
Anyone know any history on this car? Picked it up off of marketplace in Upstate SC. Appears to have been a pretty well thought out project. Well...
Thanks for all of the pics! The gold model A is mine. Someone mentioned ET earlier on in the thread, As far as ET goes, most of the top running...
yep, it was out of cert but did its job regardless
approx 9,100-9,200 rpm, i was right at the stripe
Charlie, the guy that letters alot of the SEGA cars uses one shot paint i think. IF you have trouble turning up a block, i can beat the bushes...
Cool car! Pretty sure i spoke with you and your wife for a while at the race. I own the 31 model A, the southern flyer. Hope you enjoyed the race!

Suffered a massive clutch explosion right at the 1/8 mile mark first race of this season during qualifying. We were able to piece it back together...
I sold them to the first guy i mentioned them to, but i have a buddy with a set he is selling. Not as perfect as mine were, but still nice
No, re-used all of our stuff, just tweaked here and there I'm familiar as to how big of a pain mag is to keep polished, but if the look is worth...
Managed to double up on the wins, bringing home the Knoxville race last weekend [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
The labor to polish them the first time wont be bad, all 4 were polished at some point in life, so all of the rough casting marks have already...
Can’t make up my mind If they need polishing or not [ATTACH]
Picked up a different set of mag wheels for the car too, I was ready to change the look up [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I managed to win my first race in Ohio a couple weeks ago[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Pretty cool thread, that i just randomly stumbled across. I built the model A sedan that someone pictured a couple of pages ago. Ill be the first...
I was right, I followed the build from near day one!
ive wondered the same
Basically engine rules for the SEGA dictate that the engine geometry and layout is 1970 back, excluding the BOSS 429 head, since it was so exotic....
Got bored and polished the lips on the mags. Really hoping to find some halibrand or kidney bean fronts and some American standard rears that...

its a 407ci sbf
Guess I can update those of you who don’t follow me of fb or Instagram. The car got a few winter updates [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
