I also met George in the early days of the internet. We crossed paths a couple of times a year for a long time. He was a quiet man who loved to...
That last roadster is the one he built when he lived near me. A friend painted it. I think Rod Powel did the flames. Rod did a lot of his flames.
Yes, we lost a great racer, builder, and hot rodder. Godspeed Norris
I met Tom when he lived near me years ago. He was a very interesting man and I enjoyed visiting with him. He told some great stories. He will...

I am currently building a semi off topic vehicle and I plan to fabricate an intermediate bell crank in the throttle mechanism that I will attach...
The 700 style transmission is different than the 350 and others. The attachment of the tv cable is critical for the life of the transmission....
I agree. I kept a lot of stuff from Bonneville and the HAMB Drags. They both meant a lot to me. I hope someday someone else will note their value
I have had bad experiences with name brand gaskets lately. The two holes are slightly elongated and it was enough to cause a leak at the bolt...

I built this tool to help me bend radius on sheet metal. I saw photos of something like this, so I made one. I have no idea what they are...
Very nice work Dave.
I remember that day but I had not put two and two together. Thanks for reminding me. Some of the best days are the ones I have spent with my car...
