Old Nasty

This coming weekend is the fall vintage classic at Road America. I'm looking forward to it. Only 50 miles away.

Recently purchased. Needs a little cosmetic work but mechanically stout. Just another hobby.

Actually this quote is attributed to Juan Manuel Fangio. It goes "whats a behind a me is no concern of mine". He then rips off the rear view mirror & tosses it.

I cut down a piece of 1x4 pine with a hole (1-1/8" I believe) drilled in the center to accomodate the circular base to the upper portion of the stand. I then mount the pine block in my articulated vice & I can position it any way I want to apply decals & fine details to the body. Works great.

I am currently building the 427 SOHC version of this kit. My only complaint is that the screws don't go in far enough because of the paint in the threaded holes. I don't have a tap that small to clean them up. Otherwise, a very nice kit.

Carroll must be asking "What the heck is that"?

Yes.

I believe the valve covers on the one in the middle are backwards but nice looking engines none the less.

Nice car but it's a '57.

Thanx Bill.

Thanx Snake.

Thanx Steve. Who makes them?

Does anyone make a kit of a late 60's (series 2) Baracuda with the sport roof? All I can find is the fastback. Thanx in advance for any replys.
