Totally, totally cool tech and car.
THE WHOLE POINT of glass bodies is so that more people can own a given car economically. I'd like to own a 427 Cobra, but I wouldnt let...
I was once contemplating putting a holley on backwards to simplify the linkage. I called Holley directly and talked to a technician about this. He...
Think about it...who would weld the brake drums on when bolting the wheels on would accomplish the same thing? Anyway, I recommend a HF 4#...
Once you paint it a 'normal' color (black?) it might not need much else. Well, the headlights are kinda big.
Did anyone get video of Bruce Larson pulling all 4 wheel off the ground in the 1st match against the Frantic Ford? I was watching the Ford...
Loud is for kids. I prefer quiet. Im 51. And I still have my hearing.
Original is worth more. Very well done modified cars sell for more, but not for as much as it cost to get them there.
Me and 2 friends will be there late tonite (spectating only), we will be staying at the track. Im excited.
[IMG] NOT vintage. It is an altered, not a dragster. I lengthened it to 190" wb. Sorry about the dark photo.

Period correct appearing is always more appealing to me than strict performance. The so-called nostalgia TFs have the driver so high it looks like...

Heres what few consider: If you have a job, you could be making money for the amount of days that you would have to take off and make no money to...
I was in a very similar situation recently. I had a project car that I loved for 5 years. Due to time and money constraints, I knew it would be...

Pull the cam. In the past, Ive wasted too much time trying to tune around an unknown (later found out to be too-big) cam a previous owner put in a...
Ah yes, i enjoy my own stupidity and lack of ability. So, my 2 friends think thats $4400 worth of car sitting there I guess. I may be...
IF someone went to the trouble of dropping that car in my driveway for free, I would invest no more effort than to load it on my trailer and drive...
1 of 12,000 of anything is not rare.
WOW! Sounds like you should definitely get gas in Boston since its so much cheaper there. I only pay $0.92 /quart here.
