    Those were more for scavenging than "boost" in that application as I understand it. Detroit's are the original source for the 4,6-71 blowers.

    As Bill says above, it's all about application. Modern small displacement engines use smaller sized turbos to boost performance with minimal lag,and couple that to 6,8,10 speed transmissions to keep the engines in it's power band

    Supercharger's also have parasitic loss, they take power to turn. Turbo's build heat,as do blowers, there's no free lunch. Superchargers tend to make power lower in rpm, Turbo's the opposite.

    RPI was the first one that came to thought. Good luck getting those printed 👍

    Another option might be a "maker's space", we've got a couple down here in Albany that print,but you gotta sign up and they fill up fast. Also,there's a few guys down this way that have printing services, I have no experience with them,so I can't speak on quality.

    The blue cap is similar to tamiya extra thin,in my understanding. Dries super fast. The yellow dries slower and is thicker, I use both,no complaints and no leakage, but I'll keep that in mind

    Nice haul, I've got the ford and the buick

    Great toolbox, you've kept that in nice shape. Considering the cost, and the fact it's an investment in your career, I hate to see them beat to trash.

    Congratulations on the new place, you've got some great views to enjoy. I like the old architecture, much nicer than cookie cutter communities today.

    Awesome work on an iconic hotrod, Zippi. This looks amazing. 👍👍

    Thanks. It was a royal pain.

    Tonight I spent entirely too much time making an alternator bracket. Probably could have made the full size one in the same amount of time.

    Ouch. Paint looks great, hopefully you can get the warping taken care of.

    Cassowary on steroids.

    They really give you that hard of a time over that. I'm barely legal on my kawasaki (no directional lights and just over minimum seat height) and have had no issues in NY. Inspection sticker isn't on the fork,either. I thought NY was bad.

    Great job on this, awesome color choice.

    Great start, always nice to re-create something you had. 👍

    Yes it is a Crosley. It wasn't in bad shape, pretty solid car. The Ranchero wasn't too bad either, some rust and l someone hacked the tunnel for a floor shift. Everything Around the shock towers was solid. Both were pretty complete .

    Came across these all at the same place. Guy was super cool and had an awesome shop. The vw was just down the road.
  24. johnyrotten
    Awesome. I went "dragged out of a barn and cut up" with mine. I like the period correct idea a bit more.
  25. johnyrotten
    Nice haul, I wish mine had deals like that.
