    Hey Min301....bring your drool towel

    You mentioned that your dream machine would be a tube T-Bolt replica with a cammer in it. I can't do the cammer, but I can give you some REALLY good direction on the rest of the deal, and offer you an alternative engine as well.

    A friend of mine is having your dream car built, although he's filling it with a 600" Kaase BBF that makes 1150hp N/A. It's going to be a small tire drag car and yes, it has a passenger seat.

    The funny thing is....he already owns a real T-bolt, along with a real lightweight Galaxie, and a LARGE number of other pieces assembled from original Ford unobtanium. If you ever come to Boston for any reason, we'll get together and you'll get the full deal tour of this guy's stuff. Not many people have seen it, but you bleed blue and this guy totally does. You'll be instant pals. Awesome guy, down to earth, just really successful and a lover of all things Ford.

    Withouth further delay, here's a rundown of photos of the car.

                      Not in Quincy, and my car spent quite a bit of time in that place. I even found some blue drool on one of my fenders. ;D

                        I just added a couple to the project page. Should be up at the top.

                        Thanks, Dan

                            Having notched and welded a (very) few tubes, I'm always amazed at the craftsmanship chassis builders have. Imaging figuring out all those angles, and cutting and notching every tube perfectly. Wish I paid more attention in high school Geometry....

                              Rusty, I'm with you.

                              There's a cross bar at the rear of that chassis which I couldn't get a clear photo of because of it's positioning. There are two spots on the bar where 4-5 pipes come off of it like spokes on a bike tire. It's enough to bring tears to your eyes if you look at it long enough.

                              Craftsmanship...pure and simple.
