The art of racing in the rain was a fantastic read. Definitely on my favorites list and not because of the car factor. Used the library’s audiobook.

Very nice. Congratulations and good luck.

OK, fenders and running boards are off. I need to complete some minor body work and then we’ll get the roller out and see what happens. This weekend is the Duryea Hillclimb in Reading. Last Saturday I spoke with the man who will be installing my cage. He has come up with some modifications that will result in maintaining long term fit as this cage…[Read more]

Keep grasping, Roy.

The Chevette bar bends in the opposite direction than the Pinto unit…I wonder…

Don’t even think I was looking. She was screaming, though.

Finally got back to working on the car. My back went out over a month ago and I’ve been forced to do almost nothing for quite some time. Lots of chiropractic visits have finally enabled to maintain a vertical position. Yesterday I managed to jack it up and put stands under it. Today I was able to remove the front lamps. I have August and September…[Read more]

Patti came home and said she hit 140. I didn’t believe her and took it out on the PA Turnpike Northeast Extension southbound from Allentown to Quakertown with the pedal on the floor. It is primarily a downhill run but she kept inching up until I had to admit she was right. Eventually she crept to 147. And yes, it was bone stock.

If you were to mount it it would be out at the front of the body beyond the grille. No frame there to mount it to. It also seems to be unnecessary.

Does it even need one? My Ford based kit doesn’t use it.

Outran a state cop in Valley Forge Park in one of those.Another time , hit 147 coming down the turnpike.Ah, the stupidity of youth.

I assume its a frame mounted electric pump. Also assuming the pump makes noise like its running with the key on.Disconnect the feed line from the tank at the pump inlet. If line is open fuel should run out( use a drain pan) An older electric pump might just be getting tired and running intermittently. If you can, stick another pump in it. I now…[Read more]

I’m 6’2″‘ and with seat modifications I have plenty of room.

Pretty scary bunch, huh?;)

Welcome.

For example, in the classifieds there is an unbuilt Duchess and 95% Fiber Fab. Same price. Kit, I can do it my way, but how do I know what is the right way? Most all of you have done modifications or tweaks or changed after the build.The modifications and tweaks are to personalize and/or custom fit the vehicle in ways that please us, the owners.…[Read more]

That’s like asking which is better…”Blonde or Brunette” ?

The Ford 2.3 was in production for over twenty years. The Chevette not so much. The Ford suspension is the suspension of choice for the aftermarket rod builder. The Chevette…???.
