Let me know if you come down. The 300c belongs to my wife. She is very sentimental about her cars. Currently all bays are full at my place. I have two cars for sale and no interest so it might be this way for awhile. : /

I have been tempted to pick up a kowalski-ish 6 speed with a V-8 for quite some time. I get cold feet when I think of our 48k mile '10 300c srt8 in the shed that sits unused. Ground clearance is often a factor in vehicle choice for us. The LX cars can get torn up on some of the parking lot...

With the hydraulic ft issues I am of the same opinion on tappet choice for a performance engine. If I had to go hydraulic ft it would come from Jones or Oregon Camshaft. For the last build we used bushed comp sportsman roller lifters with good results. I was interested in trying out the comp...

My grand excuse for having a climate controlled shop is so my machines don't rust. The true reason is that it is way too cold and wet all winter and spring and summer can be brutally hot aka >105. It is much easier to get motivated when the work area is well lit and comfortable, especially for...

Sometimes it's the little stuff. For instance, my shop is well lit with bright white walls to help make the dark, cloudy Oregon winter a little less...dark. My point is try something and you will be sure to find something that helps. Your testosterone is just a number. Do you consume energy...

My step dad is 86. He still works in his wood shop every day year round. My neighbor is 87 and he still cuts his own fire wood, cares for his wife and hand loads a small trailer with gravel and fills potholes on his mile long gravel driveway. A few weeks ago he asked me to fire up my hoe and...

Really nice family pictures and great cars/trucks. Keep up the good work!

That is really cool. I'm a bit envious in a good way. How old is your boy? I have 6.5 and a 1.3 yo boys and it's a lot of fun.

Awesome family pictures and very cool car.

I was replying to the OP. That is inherently implied when a person responds to a post without a quote. Thank you for just sayin lol.

People cannot troubleshoot well due to oversimplification of most functions as a human. I am constantly telling people that I cannot help you if you do not put forth any effort. Effort is key facor...as Homer S said, "trying is the first step towards failure"

I respectfully disagree. If somebody wants to offer the group 3000 parts get them out there so we can have at them lol. Those are usually the best sales when a guy cleans house. Look at all of the cool stuff JohnGTX sold out of the Super Stock racing operation. As for the comment if...

We were all excited about this upcoming storm. So far just a few wind gusts and rain. My kids are going to be devastated when they wake up to no snow lol..

What a shame. I cannot count the times people have egged me on to do something stupid in a poulated area in one of my hot rods. I never have to look very far to identify a potential hazard (driveways, cross street, pedestrians, livestock lol, telephone poles, trees, large drainage gitch etc...

I appreciate random acts of kindness towards deserving individuals. Nice post!

Both of the above loops will not withstand a high speed drive line failure. I still use the old school flat strap style or make one out of tubing and mount it within 6" either side of the hoop. Lots of stored energy in a driveline! I would break out the tubing bender and overbuild it unless...

It isnt much worse than a Performer from the 70s-80s.

I have one of each. If I am towing something low I use the dovetail with diamond plate deck. It works well for hotrods. For barn finds, equipment and supplies I run the 2x8 wood deck that was pre-treated with Rustoleum oil base ( 1 gallon black + 1qt white ). The boards are attached with...

The heads are currently $1200 per set. My 511" Stealth headed engine has a big solid roller. It makes excellent power even thought it is over cammed for n20 use. The only thing required for that upgrade was .080 lash caps. I am going to have a set CNC ported with MW port windows. Those...

I have experience with them and it has been 99% positive. A mild 440 can make 475hp pretty easily on pump gas with 9.5:1, 750cfm carb and headers. Three thungs I do before running them (specific to these heads): 1) Use a rotary file to improve oil drainback, especially around the spring...

I poke fun at guys at the track for wearing all black on hot sunny days. Everyone wants to be a street outlaw these days.

Hopefully some of that moisture reaches the Northern end of CA. It would be cool if the Smith River canyon wasn't on fire for the next three months. Check out the firey 12 hour time lapse in this tower top camera: https://alertca.live/cam-console/2504

Look at it this way - the cars are 50-60 years old. They still have a very strong following despite the doomsday "I can't afford car parts but have premium cable tv" crowd. I think a lot of the price points are driven by TV/internet content and big $$$ collectors that are out there every day...

Family car days are best spent at the race track.

DMT is an excellent vendor.

-8 heat range is what I use for a 300 shot of nitrous. As said above; too cold. NGK heat range scale is oppoaite of Champion and Autolite. A typical pump gas streeter uses a 4 or 5 heat range plug. If it was mine and the compression was marginal for pump 91 I would start with a NGK projected...

The roads in N. CA and all S. Oregon have been treacherous this week due to nighttime temps going into the 20s and daytime exceeding 32. Add snow to that black ice and the wreck is on. I have worked through extreme weather traveling up and down I-5 and it's tributaries for years and the only...

You are hired sir!

For the record, any member that has purchasdd from us may still be unwrapping the parts from last year lol. I don't mess around with shipping and appreciate when others pay me the same respect. So...should we have a "would you have shipped this?" thread?

I had that happen here and the shipper made me wait 3 months to get paid lol. Some people I tell ya.
