While I grew up in a family that was primarily a Ford family, I started the trek being a die hard Chevy guy. My first car was a 71 SS 454 Chevelle, and just about everything after that I owned was always a BBC. Even when I started racing, engine of choice was always a BBC until.....I was...

I have a Lincoln and think it is one of the best things I have ever bought. About the only thing I wish it had is a water cooled torch. When welding aluminum, the torch gets a little hot but other than that it works great.

Let's see if I can take the idea I have and put it to words that make sense... I was going to run a shaft perpendicular to the frame rail where it is required to go. The shaft would be be bushed or have bearings installed for smooth rotation. The shaft would have to pass through a cross member...

Has anyone ever had to offest their master? The reason I ask is that I want to mount the m/c below the floor, problem is that it can not go in line with the pedal for issues concerning exhaust placement etc. I would like to mount it closer to the tail stock on the tranny, this solves heat issues...

Eh? Just south of you in Bradford. Just below Barrie for those that haven't been through the black hole....

I've posted the introduction and thought I would share what I'm planning and what I've got done. Once I quit racing, I spent a while trying to decide on what to build. I love a lot of different things and opinions were like a ping pong ball on crack. What I finally settled on was building a car...

Here's a cool shot.....

I have two options, one is mechanical injection and the other is dual Predator carbs. I'm not too sure if I can get the mechanical system to be street friendly, and the Predator carb option is only because I was told that it wouldn't work. Just need to prove someone wrong...lol.

I guess that I'll fit right in then. What I'm building doesn't fit any description that is pure, it's not a 'rat rod' by some people's definitions, it's not a 'street rod' because it won't be pretty enough and it can't be a 'hot rod' because I'm using a glass body. All I wanted was to build...

[/URL][/IMG] Hopefully this works, what I got tired of..... [/URL][/IMG] The 34 I'm building.... And by the way, I have always refered to Canada as the North Coast. I like to beleive that we are more than just neighbours.

Thats right, the North Coast. Used to be heavily into nostalgia drag racing, got tired. Currently building a 34 for fun.
