    Never understood the big tire thing. unless you are racing, it is a waste. the offset required makes it handle like crap.

    Budget turbo build input wanted.

    My research tells me that 455 bottom end wont like boost. HUGE leverage on a cast crank is asking for failure.

    Big Block Bantam

    If you run that extension horizontally, you are going to hate filling with fuel. Run it at a 45 degree angle.

    Transmission

    Had that same problem when I put a floor shift in an old ChevyII I had. I told people I had enough power that I didn't need 4th gear so I always left it in third. it was kinda true.

    Contesto

    I have too much time on my hands. Today, I caught myself wondering " if everybody in China jumped off a chair at the same time, would it jolt the earth out of orbit?" As an Engineering student, I did the math. the answer is "No." My wife thinks I'm a nerd. Do I get points for creativity?

    Did you guys know that the toothbrush was invented by a redneck? If anyone else had done it, we'd call it a teethbrush.

    Building a V-16

    With the amount of space you have, what about them separately and running "drive shafts" to a reverse transfer case that would funnel both engines into a common transmission. it would be possible to disconnect one engine with a splined coupler if necessary. Not as cool as a V16, but less of a...

    Mini Muscle Car

    Could you use and adhesive like liquid nails to bond the aluminum to the plywood? Spread it out a bit and weight it down. it would completely eliminate wrinkles and "oil canning".

    Air Ride?

    The airbag will replace your springs, both front and rear. you will need to install another method of locating the rear axle (4 link, trailing arm + panhard, ect). In front, the bag will replace the spring. The cup will be a spacer/ mount. You may have to trim the spring cup portion of the...

    Flames

    did one for a friend of mine. We used a motorcycle coil and plug near the end of the pipe. For fuel, we put a grille tank (propane) in the bed with a solenoid valve from a forklift. one button opened the valve and lit the plug. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! Give it a bit of throttle to...

    got a new toy!

    when you do a panel, it is upside down. lay your deck lid on its face, stand on the hinge edge and measure the height of the latch edge. add 4 or 6 inches to this dimension. now you can punch a curved deck lid. OVERBUILD your frame!!!! it cannot be too rigid!

    got a new toy!

    I will try to get a pic. It won't be today. Storming like hell here. I will tell you to leave room above the punch so that you can punch a decklid that has a curve in it. Mine doesn't and it sux! I have to do a flat panel and then add it to the decklid. The tank would be cool if you...
