Thanks Sieg!
Good point... I just want to do this once.
When I put the cross member in I didn't have to break out the crowbar... I just gave it a hard kick and it popped in

The shot of Old Gold is awesome! Love that car. You have to hear it and see it run to understand just how well this car functions. It's just so "solid". It leaves hard and pulls hard and it never bogs - burbles - or skips a beat. Hard to describe really... until you witness it.
Dale -- if you need some sheetmetal fab help... you might contact Tim Bruning - he's there on your side of the river and has a fantastic home shop as well as mad skills.
PM or email me if you want his contact info. His son posts under TJBRUNING
You should get to know him regardless of whether or not you need his help. |
Thanks Greg!
Paul drives Ol' Gold, and his dad Bob does the mechanics. It's a great family team. You're right... it rarely breaks loose, and launches like it's on rails. Those big slicks look cool to.
I sent you a PM... I am interested in contacting Tim for some possible help... Thanks
