Bonehead's Kaboom post reminded me of this "tractor". I wonder how this would look going "kaboom".... '22 The specs: A 42 cyl radial with 8757 cui of Russian origin (Zvesda / St. Petersburg ) Specs are: 42 cylinders heptagonal-star / 6 cylinder rows Diameter 160 mm, stroke 170 mm. 7 over...

Here are a few photos from the “Hot Rod Heritage” meet here in Las Vegas this weekend. Great weather, good racing and a light crowd made it great.... First photo is my grandson with Nanook...

Some short video clips from Dragfest.... Not the best quality, but you get the general idea... ;) In the first video, Bradford's Fiat staged and then shut down with some issues.... :( '22 http://img531.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bradfordsaafaburnoutgb5.flv...

Here are some rods from the Dragfest show... I still have about 700 more photos of FED’s, Fuel Altereds and Gassers to try and share when I have time. Awesome show and racing, well worth the drive. Deb and I had a ball and met a lot of cool people..... I probably got a few of the same cars...

Here’s a little something different, cycling New Guinea style. ;) My buddy in Australia sent me this one.... A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do..... (Free bird, yeah....) ‘22

Here are a few photos from Viva yesterday.. It was good to see Charlie (21 tat on RRR) and Javier (FEO on RRR) at the show and have a chance to BS and catch up on things. If some one is interested in more photos of a car, let me know, I “might" have some more........ ;) Enjoy.. ‘22

I went to the NHRA races Friday and Saturday and saw a car from the Henderson car show last September that I really like. Thought I would post a few photos and the video below as inspiration for Mad Dog and his Fiat build ... enjoy. ‘22 The video link...

I have a good used McGurk camshaft that I installed in the hi-torque 235 Chevy in the roadster... .430 in. - .410 ex. lift, 252 in.- 280 ex. duration. I have a set of good used lifters from the engine, but purchased a new set because I have heard that is the best way to go with a used cam...

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The mess finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank. The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees. It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around...

A buddy of mine sent me these photos of an Australian rod meet. '22 "Went down to the Cruzin 100th issue party at Carrara (gold coast) on the week end, it was a fairly good event with about 200+ cars and bikes, great bands, trade stands, cold rum bo's and the Jim Beam girls. Leanne and I...

There is nothing more motivating than to have a couple of hot rod friends drop by for a b.s. session in your garage and bring their trucks along.. :cool: The green truck belongs to FEO on RRR ( I’ll have to get him to do an intro) and the other to his buddy . I got more done on the roadster...

Heres an odd looking show car from the 50's... definately different. :rolleyes:

Yes, this is a drive it, no trailer queen site... :p But I have still seen some cool old trucks converted to car hauler status... Does anyone have any photos to add ?? ‘22 The first few photos are from a Whittier, CA. show with matching car and a Cushman 3 wheeler.

Ok, here I go off on another tangent.... :rolleyes: I like 2 types of motorcycle racing.. Speedway bikes and F-1 side car racing. My brother, Steven was involved in speedway for over 10 years and my garage was the home shop. Ascot, Costa Mesa, Long Beach Veterans Stadium (long track) were some...

OK, how many are old enough to remember amusement park bumper cars ? Cool designs on the body work and a lot of fun.... Ran across a guy by San Diego, Ca, who takes the old bodies, puts them on a frame with a 750cc Yamaha and Kawasaki motor cycle engines... He now has 8 of them for his...

I saw this small model T replica at the car show in Henderson, Nevada, in September (Yeah, I see the Chevy radiator emblem :rolleyes:). It looks like it could be one of the small T’s that ran at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca. in the 60’s. This would have been the Henry’s Livery Ride on...

OK, the boss says he loves midgets, the older the better, right Tripper ? We have it in writing... http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6515 Here are some old black and white photos followed by some colored ones... What these guys built using modified frame rails and what ever...

Happy Halloween.... All the clever innuendoes that I could think of for this one, but I kept feeling the Mod's "itchy trigger finger" on the squasher-vaporizer all the way over here in Russia. :eek: So I thought I better let this one fly on it's own... :rolleyes: Ok, yes I am bored...
