Nascar , like every other racing type is spec . They all have rules to follow , some of Nascar's have turned it into a clown show sometimes , but you can't say the drivers that go out there aren't the best at what they do . Everybody is on a new learning curve , so with the new rules the racing is dicey until they have enough information to sort the handling out . I like watching just about any type of racing until they start complaining about how close to each other they are , just separating the men from the boys . Go to any local racetrack on a Saturday night and see how real racing is done , side to side , wheel to wheel , bumper to bumper , fighting for position . Indy is a joke , only 1 car and 2 or 3? engines , Formula 1 is a close second (talk about spec racing !) . The guys that really impress me are the rally drivers that throw those cars all over the place trying to stay on the road and at speed . But , like everything else that's just my opinion .

Thanks for the dedication , Gregg

That's beautiful Bob .

That looks really nice , I found these , so you're close .

Looks like he was copying the cross ram with 2 2 barrels just to make it interesting . It is for sale on e-bay , $29,000.

another pinterest find .

This option is new . Found this on pinterest in a 60 Plymouth wagon . .

Temperatures in the mid 70's , garden planted , enjoying the sunshine .

nice

Love the old fords .

We have that problem down here , geese come in and stay , but the law here says , if they don't migrate , they're not protected and open game .

Was this ever finished ? I can't find it in Under Glass .

Nice

Looks like you've got the rusty , crusty down pretty good .

Nice chop .

I really like the conversion , almost Nomadish , with the tail gate trim . What kit did the roof come from ?

Nice

The carbs need to be facing forward , to get the linkage on the driver's side , but the stacks can go either way . Which way do you like ?

Hey Greg , any updates on this ? I'm fighting the same battles with the sedan I'm putting together .

Had a wonderful day with all my family , kids and grands , nothing like having everyone here , happy and safe .

Yep , that's the bunch , they must have been hurting to fill space . He just turned it into a magazine article .

Just received the Mar 2018 issue of Car Craft and there's an article on building nostalgia funny cars . Steve Magnante is the guy who built the Wilshire Shaker 63 Nova back in '01 . He's all about finishing an idea , no extra detail , paint or extras , but he has a lot of cars to show . Interesting from a how he does it stand point .

It's really dependent on how much you want to put into it and how much space you have to work with . My "work" bench (in the upstairs of the garage ) is 30" x 12' , that being said I have about 30" x 20" of workable space, it has a tempered glass panel that size to work on , durable and easy to clean . The rest is cluttered up with a TV , stacks of projects in containers , parts bins , supplies ( scrap styrene , a rack with new Evergreen packs , aluminum & brass tubing , tools and various boxes of cars ) and a display case hung from the wall . The bench itself is cantilevered out from the wall with diagonal supports so I can move a rolling chair the full length . It has electrical outlets mounted below the top surface , to the face of the bench for easy access . I also have a Harbor Freight tool box that sits next to my chair to hold all of my tools , supplies and detail parts I'm not using a any given time . I have 2 4' double lamp fluorescent fixtures centered over the actual work area and a desk mount lighted magnifying lens on one side . I'm a firm believer that we're like fish and grow to our environment , the more room you have the more junk you accumulate . You just have to decide how far you want to go .

All you need is a 6" steel rule and a single edge razor blade . Oh , and a good set of optic enhancers .

wow , that is nice .
