Makes sense to me. That way you can fit the inners to an outer that fits the car - otherwise you're shooting in the dark.

The front bar and frame connectors along with a Maximum Motorsports 6 point cage made a HUGE difference on my car. Of course, I have a convert so it...

[DanStokes]

You're probably right. I can chalk it up to old age but in truth I never could remember stuff. I'll have to look on the mezzanine and see what I might...

I forgot to add Russell's name to the parts source list. Pretty sure he has a stash, too. And I think I still have a set of new chrome valve covers...

I'm trying to remember any details from when I built my 'Stang. Basically, the engine ought to be OK and you'll want to pick up an AOD. They have a...

That IS one of those fussy little jobs but it's also one of those things that make a big difference in the final product. Sand On!

Hope everything turns out well. But you're a good guy and I'm betting on you to come thru all this better than you went into it.

'Zakly!

Actually, I DO have energy - but I get it in about 3 hour spurts. So I start after lunch and do a bit 'till I run out of steam....

Same here with Mutt the Race Truck! Good buddies, great times, spending too much money!

And your '33 DESERVES the cover! It's a stunning...

Odd snag (though I've come to expect these).

Turbosmart evidently makes a great wastegate but for some reason they use unusual flanges which...

Sometimes Stude is a little harsh.

But yes, Pat is a real hard-core car guy of the highest order. I hope you'll look into his history a...

Metal Joining Experiment:

I have welded SS OK with the MIG, SS wire, and straight Argon. But I decided to try something new this time as...

I wish I knew more about Diesel/turbo tuning. Right now I know I have more fuel than air just thru observation of the exhaust plume but I don't know...

Interesting! I have an interest in weird European cars though I have no interest in owning one! My buddy Norm had a Sciata roadster when I met him....
