Projects Hoodlum update

Hello! Looks great under the lights at the WOW, Dick. Had to stop some jackass yesterday when he was reaching in the car and messing with things.

 

those wheels were right next door at Judd Performance for a little while!... looks bitchen.

 

The whole build and the car are absolutely perfect! That is the coolest hand built car I've ever seen!

 

Man is this thing a blast to drive!

 

I was just talking about this car not one hour ago. Weird!

 

you totally nailed it well done

 

I love how this thing turned out. So many levels of awesome.

 

Late to the party here... effing amazing build.

 

This car needs to be in magazines. I can just see it on the salt flats in some photo shoot........after it sets a land speed record of course.

 

My brother Steve lives in Salt Lake.He's an extreme athlete type person.Sleeps overnight suspended from frozen waterfalls and such.He also is a videotographer and a musician.He makes really cool video.The plans are to go to Salt Lake in August and let him do what he does.I'm looking forward to it.

Crazy brother,ot but you can check this out.

sleeps from frozen waterfalls? WTF? he sounds "ghostly"....must run in the family. But sounds like a great idea on the video shoot.

 

btt-please

 

Got the Gene Winfield Pick Award at the WOW car show this weekend. Cool guy.

 

What a great thread really enjoyed going throu it, the car is just awsome...

 

I've been spending some time doing some alterations to the Hoodlum.
The car was really tight in the cockpit and if you were taller than 5'6" you were not going to be able to drive it. So, to make more room to make it drivable for a taller person I've set about making some changes. I pulled the 235 and am installing a 327 powerglide. I gained enough room to get someone 6 foot in it and able to work the pedals.



I added some side panels to keep some of the heat out.


Had to change the steering box out for a reversed Corvair. Moved the brake master cylinder to accommodate the new pedal location.The fire wall is a good 5" farther forward than it was with the 235.


I've got a ton of cleanup work to do getting rid of the previous motor and tranny mounts.

 

be a nice little power improvement,neat car

 

I'm hoping to more than double the horse power. This should be fun.

 

Always happy to see updates on this ongoing saga from you Dick....

 

Would that someone 6 foot be me for the first tall guy test drive,haha! Can't wait...

 

glad to see ya out in the garage building something. looking good.

 

You'll shoot your eye out!

Nothing like a dozen donuts.

 

Bringing it up again. Sure do miss this guy here. Life is too damn short.

Anyone know the status of the Hoodlum today ? One of the best builds on the HAMB. Dick Warsocki always had some cool stuff, going. Amazing guy.

 

Rob Lee would know if anybody does.
