Some one should be flogged with his own hand tools.

Blasphemy! The only way that would be right is if the back contained a hot tub with swimsuit babes in it. Then I might not notice the car. sorry Eagle.

Re: Pic of the day.

Why is it so hard to make a properly shaped Chevy emblem? While the one on the '57 looks horrible anyway, they could have at least made it in the correct proportions.

Re: Pic of the day.

Jack Brady took the photo but it was shared with me by Don Roberts.



Here's a description by him from another site:

you will remember the roller starter unit in the pits. Desoto hemi powered and built by Jack Doyle and Sy Sidebotham. This shots is 1972 or 1973, and the dragster that is starting up is the Coppolla Brothers Ford 6 cylinder powered car with brother Larry at the wheel.

The Desoto engine came out of Doyle's mother's car that was totalled in a wreck. She was ok and the engine and trans wound up here. The roller starter was new at the start of the 1968 season.

HMMM, how do I put this? I can't say I hate it. Prolly looks better than the 4-door it's made from. If someone "re-styled" the roof/rear glass, it might not be too bad

Re: Pic of the day.

Here is one 4 door,that has been grafted to a Nomad rear clip.

Re: Pic of the day.

Got VHT?

Re: Pic of the day.

Strings may look cool but it's a sign you are either off on your mix or you have not let the VHT cure long enough before allowing cars (or in the this case Jr. Diggers) back on it.

The VHT is supposed to be pulling the rubber off of the tires....the tires are not supposed to be pulling the VHT off of the track.

Not trying to be a dink....just 'splainin. ;D

Re: Pic of the day.

Here, I got your "pic" of ther freaken day :'(. I was gonna fire the 383 in my 38 gasser yesterday. But, after filling the radiator with water, here's what happened (see pic of the day :'(). Water's running out the header. Good thing there was no exhaust system, or I'd never known of the prob. Funny thing is I usually won't start a motor unless it does have exhaust so's I can hear any potential probs. This motor's not fresh (just a head change), so I wasn't worried. Anyway, I pull the plugs and NO WATER. Shit, there must be a pinhole in an exhaust port, and that valve's shut. Pull the header.....and the "porter" got a bit carried away. Well, as luck would have it, Larry Ofria from Valley Head Service made his very rare, once in a blue moon appearances at our local cruise spot last night (Bobs), and gave me a hug and said "easy fix". I'll warm er up the oven and put a little brass in there. Ceeya Monday-Tuesday Larry. Bitchen guy. He's got a very fast 57 Chevy he recently stopped racing, that if I remember right, he drove to High School yrs ago. I saw him run bottom 8's with an un-blown small block about 12-15 yrs ago. Kept up with some Pro-Mods til the 1/8. Back to my 38? It's a "rescued" project. So, to not ruin the rest of my day, I'll bleed the brakes I'd plumbed earlier this week. Fluid's coming out of the RR backing plate. Leaky wheel cyl? Jack the car, remove tire/wheel, and drum....... NO FRIGGIN BRAKES, and the 2 wheel cyl pistons laying on the ground. Amateurs!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay the F*CK away from the car and put the tools down!!!!!!!!!
