426 pack

Today I got the box off my truck.

Yeah the sweptline is one of the best ones I have seen aside from the fact that the drivers side fender looks like it kissed a tree but that is an easy fix.

I have convinced my parents to let me bring it home and there are 3 more vehicles that I’m going to try and Make a deal with the guy that owns them. late 60s Newport with a 440 1980s dodge W150 with a 318 and what looks like Dana 60s late 60s dodge sweptline with a 225

No I couldn’t the door was locked.

that is all the pics I got of it, the roof is painted the same colour, the hood is not on the car but it is might be it the General area, it was original a 383 car but the guy who owned it just bought it for the motor, it is missing the front suspension, it has a 8-3/4 rear axle, it’s sitting on its side and he will sell it to me for $50. That is all I know about it.

As far as I know it is a Plymouth satellite but would like to know if it is a factory paint job and if so how rare it is.

I spent the last 5 hours working on my car and truck.

Today I got the car to turn over. The reason that it didn’t fire up is because it is missing plug wires 4&6 and a bad battery.

I personally am not a big fan of the way things like that look. I do respect the amount of work that they put in to cars and trucks like that and there imagination that they had thought.

Today I stopped and took a look at this late 60s sweptline dodge. yesterday I stopped and looked at this early 60s sweptline Fargo. and next week I’m going to go looking through a feld of trucks and cars and there is suppose to be at least one sweptline there. (In case it isn’t obvious I like old sweptline dodge/Fargo trucks)

I have decided that I’m going to biuld it like the JATO rocket car because it will be a lot easier. Yesterday I painted it and today I started to biuld the cage to keep the rockets in place.

I would say yes you should have your own thread just for your engines as I would love to see all of yours. Or even a specific section for everyone to show of there engines.

Just seen a commercial for this on the history channel and I thought I would share it with everyone. travis-pastrana is going to attempt a jump that Evil Knievel couldn’t.

I have an old model and some model rockets that I’m going to put together to biuld something like the moth busters jato rocket car or the rocket sled spliting a car in half. JATO 1,2 and 3 The rocket sled. The model.

It was wet and cold here in northern B.C.

Technically this was yesterday but I’m happy that my mower survived the Canada day parade and got a lot of attention in the Canada day car show.

Hope all the other Canadians had a happy Canada day

I finally got my mower done. now if everything stays together I should be driving it in the Canada day parade tomorrow.

Today I got some old connecting rods and pistons to make into my lawnmower bumper.

The rear end is mounted solid with square tube without any suspension and the axles are either from an old big rig or tractor rear end.

I’m home schooled and my cousin has his own forging equipment (no power hammer so I did it all by hand). Thanks. It took a total of two days to do and a lot of blisters. The first day was just the shaping of it with a hammer and the second day I cleaned it up, did all the grinding, quench, tampering, 2 hours of sanding by hand and biuld the handle. But it all started as a leaf spring. Let me just say that after making a knife myself I have a lot of respect for the guys on forged in fire that can do it in 3 hours. Here are a few mor pics of it. this is it after day one. My cousin built a knife as well to show me what I needed to do. This is is my knife along side my cousins knife.

That thing is awesome. For school I had to make knife as a metal work project and I wanted to make a mini knife like that. I did end up making a knife but it was about 16” longer.

It reminds me of this.

I recently got an old amt callaway corvette for $7.50 and I’m not a big fan of the 90s vets so I decided that I’m going to put a 1962 corvette body on its frame. It will be biult box stock except for the body and rims. The rims are from a revell 1999 Ford lightning and the body is a revell 1962 corvette gasser. The engine is twin turbocharged. The wheel bas is the same but it will need some trimming up front and some material added to the back. Comments welcome

I went to some tractor pulls today and got a pic of everyone that was there. this one has pulled for 30 years and is power by a 460 Ford This 70s Ford is powered by a 460 This chevy is powered by an olds 455 This one has a 460 Ford This old white big rig is on a Chevy truck frame with a 460 Ford This Mack is on a old Ford F-150 with a 460 Ford This old sweptline dodge has a 454 Chevy This Chevy has a 601 big block They didn’t say what motor this one had but they did say it makes over 700hp 454 powered square body Chevy This thing has a 454 that liked to spray coolant the only mopar powered one with a blue block 440 (it died before it could pull due to dead battery) Another 454 powered tractor This one was probably the nicest one there and it is powered by a 460 Ford Another 454 tractor This one is powered by a Big Block Ford (not sure how many cubic inches) This old western star pulled the furthest and was the only Diesel powered one there
