MCM Ohana (6/6)

I worked on quite a few of those back in the day. Leaks were the issue, aside from such a small cfm. Upping the cfm and upgrading the ignition made them far better. We got a few to melt so.e tires here and there. CFI is inherently a poor design. I'll not get into runner length and all that, but suffice it to say GM was looking at MPG and staring CARB in the face while also trying to make young buyers happy is a trick that simply was impossible at the time. Or so it seemed.

'63 Vette NASCAR Modified DONE!
Dragline replied to bobss396's topic in Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Stunning Vette, first one I have ever seen as a Modified. Salvinos chassis? It looks familiar. -
Gru's Car...

How do I get one? And it's spectacular of course. The reason for my inquiry. -
AI used for nefarious means is in its infancy. It will get worse long before it gets better. I believe very little, so for me it's simply not an issue. For others? Be on your guard and assume it's a scam before you believe anything. Dig deeper if you want absolute confirmation. Caveat Emptor applies here as well.

Sorry to hear Carl. As we age we get just a little more fragile. I am starting to feel the effects of skateboarding. At 60 I considered an "elderly" skater. Problem is, I only know one way to skate. Full On. And that isn't conducive to NOT falling at some point. As for a modelling crossroad though?

Dragline replied to Mr mopar's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Now THAT is what I'm talking about! I had those as a youngster and I loved em. I had all 4 or my shelf. If they have these I'll wager they have the 1/32 gassers! Very exciting. -
I was good friends with mechanic on Tasca cars John Healey. He worked as a driver at NAPA Seekonk Ma. We talked racing for hour after hour. He is in the New England Drag Racing HOF. Prudhomme was the keynote speaker at his inauguration. John was well loved and was a super dude..much missed John Healey R.I.P.

Thoughts and ideas that hold forever true..........
Dragline replied to JollySipper's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Hence the reason school curriculum has been so dumbed down. In the name of equity, which is not at all like equality. Arguing it is the mechanism of low expectations is easy. But if it falls on dumb ears in a forest, will it make a dent? School is where it all happens. Take for instance the Frankford School. I urge anyone interested with current day to look into it. You'll find French subversives amongst the clattering of post war nihilism and not a small amount of things I cannot utter here. -

It seems you have. Well done. -
When do you NOT crush a project Bob? It seems I am to always expect nothing less than your best and it is always a beauty. Yet another fine example of what can be accomplished with imagination and a flair for the dramatic.
