Yeah, would have been nice to meet up. It was kind of a last minute thing. We went later in the day which seems to be the better thing to do. This show seems to get better in the afternoon.

Yes. Friend and I went on Saturday. Great show. Always a great show.

Damn, I missed this post. I went today. What a great show. Sorry to have missed meeting up with you

Mike, I like what you got there. I have a 38 Plymouth. I would have left it stock but the lower part of the trunk area was rotted about 10" up. So I changed the look I was going for and decided on the look of a different era of dirt car. My engine is setback 10" and the body is set back 5" with...

Amazing car event. 1500+ cars. 3 Days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsPPujK6X4M

A little late, but thoughts and prayers for all our members that were in the path of Ida. Hopefully everyone got through unscathed. It's been a couple of crazy days here in central New Jersey. We got around 8" of rain in about 4 hrs. Lots of flooding and damage. I was lucky with not getting...

Not really finished but damn close. It's been 5 years. Oh what fun!

How right you all are! Unfortunately I live right in the middle of town and we are close together. I usually try to be a good neighbor. Be mindful of the noise I make, but this was too good to not do. However the mufflers I put on are a good compromise. Car is still loud but without the...

Well I found out how many people don't like the sound of a open header. More than a few neighbors have stopped to say the car is too loud and it is shaking things in their houses. It actually has small racing mufflers on it but I guess they are not enough. I didn't want to get bigger straight...

With work being so crazy the past month I haven't been able to get on here. I been working on the car. The engine is put back together again. Got it fired up and runs pretty good. Needs a little tune and adjustment, but god, I love the sound of and open exhaust. I forgot what it was like. Also...

Except for this year, I get to quite a few local shows but try to make the bigger ones, like Dead Mans Curve, Macungie Pa, and the Flemington Speedway show. I don't always show a car, but I have a 68 El Camino and had a 86 El Camino that have been in shows.

Well, I took the engine aprt to find out what was wrong and this is what I found Other than the head gasket leaking, I also found out that the bolts for the heads were only hand tight. I feel really embarrassed because I never took the heads off to check the condition of the engine when I...

Welcome from central Jersey

Thanks. Actually, it's a old Hilborn manual fuel injection unit converted over to efi. The injection lines on the outside of the manifold are actually vacuum lines that go back to the fuel metering block that acts as a reservoir. The real fuel rails and injectors are in between the throttle...

Man, these things really test your patience! You get some things done and are really progressing and then it smacks you in the face. I finally got the wiring done and had been struggling with the fuel injection system. I think I got that sorted out and go to start the engine and it happens. It...

Welcome from central Jersey! Looks like you have a good start

Sorry, here is a picture of the shifter.

Also picked up a few things. Got a deal on a racing shifter that I'm not sure if I'm going to use. It has a very long throw to it and it's short. I couldn't pass up the deal. It came with linkage and a shift lever. Also picked some used door panels off a race car to use as interior sheet...

I think I'm almost done with the wiring thing. Got the battery box mounted in the trunk. Also mounted the fuel tank. Just need to attach Terminal ends to the battery cables. Then I can start testing systems to make sure everything is ok.

I have also put together the rear bumper, but can't decide which way to put it. It is upside down in the picture
