Yee Haaa !!!! I finally get to plumb a car that is also made of round tubing. :beavis:

Mark,

I'd bring you the car but I..... uh...... can't find my keys!.... that's it.... I can't find my keys......


--Eric

Your keys are useless if there's no fuel or brake system. Bakersfield is North of me just push it down.

:rofl: :rofl:

Love that response -- Yeah Eric!! Just get 'er to the top of the ol' Grapevine there and use the plumber rule.... you know -- it goes down hill!

OOPS... No brakes could be a problem though...

That's funny,......Also, your tubing with Rodger's tubing would look very good together:unibrow:

Tracy --

We don't allow that kind of thing on Lateral G !!!


:lol:

NOT WORK SAFE guys, jeesh almost got fired here.:lol:

hey Eric,that chassis looks really familiar,TOP SECRET:D

What no..... Junk? Don't get soft on me Weaver.

You guys crack me up!


--Eric

Thanks Darrell!

It was great seeing you at SEMA! Hope to catch up with you soon at the 'Knotty Pine' for breakfast.


--Eric

The inner fender wells turned out so clean that I was afraid they would get cut up too much for header clearance...... WRONG...... Ironworks did their magic again (I guess I shouldn't second guess Rodger anymore).

Here is the inner fenderwell before header clearance has been added. I love this shot..... all of the fasteners are hidden!

Here is the inner fenderwell with header clearance...... (I like it!):

Man, That Kinsler Crossram looks great on there. We might have to try a Precision Manifold just to see what it loks like, I have one laying around, Should we give it a try? What do ya think?

Rodger

Well, let me think about it....... YES!!!! Give it a try, and send me a pic.


--Eric

Eric --

I checked out your Nova on my way home from SEMA -- it's killer!

And as you pointed out - Ironworks just does fantastic work.

Love the Kinsler X ram too!


:cheers:

Thanks Greg!

It was great meeting you at SEMA. Hope to catch up to you again someday.

The Kinsler Cross-Ram is Rodger's....... I had him put it on there for this latest batch of pics. Maybe he won't miss it..............


--Eric

I might not miss the crossram, it is the 484 cu in LSX with Allpro heads that was port matched to that Kinsler manifold. Would be interesting in there but would be alot of power for a daily driver.

Rodger

Lookin awesome!! :thumbsup:

^^^^ What ???

And how much power is under the hood of the Farm Truck ??

:thumbsup:

600hp

600hp Farm Truck: NICE!

If you look at the Kinsler Cross-Ram in the pic below, you can see fuel rail below the manifolds AND you can see that the manifolds are machined to accept two more fuel rails on top....... serious fuel flow (hp) there!!!!

--Eric

Well, since you have one lying around... I don't think anyone would refuse to see pictures of it mocked up. Those manifolds are really nice. Hell, we bought one pretty much based on looks, and also because we couldn't justify spending as much on an intake as we did on an engine. On this car however, I think the Kinsler intake might look better. Never thought I'd say it but Jeff's manifold might might not stand out much here among all of the other nice hand formed panels. What color are you planning on painting the engine bay?

In any case, pictures of both please :unibrow:

Matt

Amazing stuff. It's like watching a top build and a comedy channel special all in one. Keep it coming.

Doug

Precision Metalcraft Manifold..........
 

Here you go! Sorry for the delay....... The internet is a little slow sometimes between here and Bakersfield.

Sure fits nice.

--Eric

Not done enuf yet,I will wait till you have alot more cool stuff on it.( new tactics).:rofl:

Also I vote Cross Ram..

I like the Precision Manifold for the fact it is smooth just like the rest of the car. The engine looks like a Diamond in the jewelry box. Nothing sticks out more then the other to your eye. The Kinsler is awesome but just the wrong style unless we cut up your car even more.

HEY, Who asked you? And how can we trust the opinion of a guy who wears a button up salmon colored shirt with no collar. Thats like a LARGE "FELLA" from Arkansas wearing a Really Light blue polo shirt. :D :D :D :D

Like Doug said: Comedy Channel Special here!


--Eric

Jewelry box !!!! When is the last time you've seen blue tape in a jewelry box. OH !!! That must be covering the Diamond.

My black shirt and socks were at the cleaners.......(Talk about a thread hi jack,Sorry Eric)

I like that manifold,save it for the car next to Eric's:yes:

That is an awesome car next to mine!...... (It's Darrell's car.)


--Eric

Simply and purely Bad Ass.....

Thanks!

I (briefly) met you at Columbus this year...... I love your work and I'm glad you guys are using your own name now.


--Eric

Doug, 100% agreed!
If Kenny Davis gets into the mix it gets worse.

Lookin good Eric, I like the lines of the precision manifold it flows better with your inner fenders. But what do I know!

Thanks alot!!! Really wanted to come over and talk more but you know how the shows can be!! Definately have to hook up next year..

:rofl:

John

Anything new with the vert? what color are you guys going with and what color top?

thanks

Thanks for the inquiry.

We are about to do more on my Nova. There is a lot of detail work to get done, like fully welding the frame, etc.

We are, however, digitizing the control arms..... which will lead to the design of billet control arms.

Right now, the goal is to get it on the ground, verify suspension geometry and steering geometry.
