I’ll second the comment about shifting well! It looks like the car falls off a bit after what seems a good launch.

You are one talented guy!

Thanks for your comments! The reality was the car needed to look 'period' from the outside. They didn't want billet wheels, electronics or trans brakes or later model hood scoops for example on the cars, but weren't terribly hung up on the engine details as long as there was a hood covering the...

I had a similar chassis in the mid 70's and put together an econorail. Mine had an early Olds rear end with a little less tire than yours, otherwise the construction, roll cage and bodywork was very much like yours. Fortunately I could fit in it, albeit with a bit of wiggling, but it sure felt...

Thanks! I remember the Amber Green days. Had run the car there quite a few times from 1974 through 76 or so. Hard to believe it's the same place they've improved it so much!

After a 32 year hiatus, I hauled my car to the Fallout event this weekend. Held at Rock Falls Raceway outside of Eau Claire, WI, this is a nostalgia themed get together, pre 65 only and cars have to look 'period' to run. I'd heard about it for a number of years. (think this one was year 7) I...

This goes back a lot of years but I recall a front segment length issue coupled with what front spring hanger to use when putting Mopar SS springs in a 65 Satellite. Seems like it was unique to that year for reasons I never understood completely. That said, you're obviously a talented enough guy...

Glad you caught that. It does make you sit back and think of what might have been. Stay safe!

Just curious what you attribute the spun bearing to?

Very well done article! I learned a lot from it. Thanks much.

Good for you! I'm close to being ready with mine after 31 years. Dont believe I'll be able to match your results.

Very nice. The color really makes it!

I ran into him by accident at the US Nationals at Indy way back when. I was leaning against an enclosed trailer taking advantage of the shade and he came walking around the corner of the trailer. Looked right at me, smiled and said "How we doing today?". We visited for a few minutes. Seemed in...

The long answer I believe is spinning a big block without any oil restrictions to the heads, you can end up with 4-5 quarts of oil 'up top', leaving 3 or less in the pan, considering the oil filter holds a quart. Under hard acceleration the remaining oil could climb the back of the sump and at...

One thing is for sure, you're one who knows what they're doing. Bet it will be a monster when done. Looks good!

I don't know how you guys can sit and watch those shows episode after episode. I may have watched an early episode or two, hoping it got better. The whole thing drove me crazy. I found myself wondering how some of the characters manage to find their way home without help. It's just more scripted...
