    What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

    I always thought a 67-69 Barracuda Fastback would make a decent speed car. I am sure you would have to tweak the nose and tail a bit to improve the car's aerodynamics (like they did with the Charger 500), but the car looks like it might be slippery enough at high speed. And if there are engine...

    Going Powerglide

    Hey, guys, I am not a racer. I have a question I hope one of you can answer. Why is there such a following for Powerglides in racing. I would think that a well-built Torqueflite, or some other 3-4 speed automatic, would be preferable over a 2 speed Powerglide. Are they that much stronger than a...

    Campfire pizza on the stove kinda night

    Hey, @pittsburghracer, could you post a few pictures of building them and a picture of one cut in half after cooked. From the pictures you posted, I can't figure out how they are built. Thanks.

    My race season is over. Dusters wrecked

    First of all, I am glad your son is OK. Second, it sounds like he did an excellent job handling the 'crisis', and third, that damage doesn't look too bad from the pictures.

    Just got car back from ceramic coating

    I did my new 2018 black Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2018 with the Blackfire treatment I mentioned above. It sheeted water for three years, then it just beaded water. It is time for another application. It lasted 4 years.

    Just got car back from ceramic coating

    I could not agree MORE with you. It is all about prep. Just like painting a car. I've been doing body and paint as a hobby for about 45 years. Take my 69 Barracuda, for example. I had at least 750-800 hours (probably closer to 1,000) in the prep for that paint job. It takes a long time to...

    Just got car back from ceramic coating

    The car does look awesome. Let me tell you guys about the DIY ceramic product I found. About years ago I saw a Car show on TV where they used Blackfifre Ceramic Coating from Autogeek. I tried some, and all I can say is WOW. It really does work. The $400 that @B3422w5 is reasonable. Autogeek...

    Drag strips closing in US...

    In Topeka there used to be 3 Drive In Theaters. One was the Chief Drive In Theater. It had the neatest lighted sign out front. It closed back in the 80s, and in the 90s, Walmart bought the property and built a huge store. To their great credit, they took the dilapidated sign, had it restored to...

    Machine shop woes

    Or you could try honesty is the best policy. Go there and tell him you like him and his work. You really do want HIM to do the work, but you are concerned with the delay. Ask him for an honest time of completion.

    Disappointed with my engine

    I think it is 90% with your heads. With those internal parts, you should be well over 300HP. Imagine this. Let's say you have a 500+HP 383. It runs great and you are happy with it. It has good Edelbrock heads that have been ported. So what would happen if you pulled those heads and put on the...

    Parts rant

    Oh my gosh. That is so funny. I did that once. I spent well over an hour fighting the driver's side into place and then saw the starter sitting on my bench. I called it a day and had something a little stronger than beer.

    Any Of Yall Seen This Yet?

    @MOPARMAGA, I couldn't agree more. When gas goes to $4 or $5 a gallon, and income tax rates nearly double (even though they were promised not to), maybe they will get voted out. I was TOTALLY being sarcastic. With 'MAGA' in your FABO name, I think you know the people I was talking about. I was...

    Any Of Yall Seen This Yet?

    Just the tip of the iceberg. I will just tactfully say that there are some highly placed people who hate car racing. Maybe we should all sell our classic cars and buy a Prius.
