That is sad that so much has been stolen.
My car has a big wad of fiberglass in those spot.
I hear that the wire needs to be touching the base to start. Purging the gas flow is always done before a weld that needs it.
I found a new in the box Hobart spool gun for cheap on the market place that is compatible with my Hobart welder. Haven't had the chance to try...

RIP Gene. I met him at SEMA in 2005. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Probably running fat to cover the WOT mode.
The more engine setback you can get for a class the better in my opinion.
If you don't have the skills and tools to install a engine that didn't come in the truck you should look for an engine that was fitted in one of...
I drove a airvair for a daily driver for many years. I would go with the 65 and newer model, they are much better drivers.
That car needs a build or rebuild thread.
I always give those a good smack with a heavy hammer before I try to remove them.
This poor car was a bit of a mess to say the least. Just think I was driving this car close to 118 mph. :eek:
Blue sky garage opened up so jumped in and got some more of the rust cut out. Sure opens things up so I can finish the frame bracing. [ATTACH]...

That reminds me of using the power pole out front of my shop and a wrecker pulling on the car we were trying to get into shape.
Got the rear brakes and brake line on the back of the Biscayne. Now need lug nuts. This car may hit the streets this year yet. [ATTACH]
Got a free to me plasma cuter that has an interment start problem, hop I can fix it at a reasonable cost. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is the car that will get the fiberglass parts. [ATTACH]

That is the one I call my home track even though I don't live that close to me.
Looks like Clay Smith sponsored the T shirts. There is a lot going on in that picture.
I have a good friend that was racing in the Hemi Challenge series. He said they were running Honda rod journal size in the 426.
We ran a bunch of the 350 Chevy cranks offset ground and used small journal 327 rods in the sprint car.
Mile High Cranks can nitride the crank after turning down the mains. That is what I will have done.
I have a 427 Chevy crank that has been offset ground to 2.10 small block rod size. I need to have the mains and the counter weights turned down to...
The one advantage of offset grind with a smaller rod bearing makes for slower bearing speed.
They were tight in the front when service was needed on that end. They always seeped oil, a flat rate mechanics nightmare.
Mine is be on repair. :( [ATTACH]
