Looks great except for those seat belts. The shoulder harness would never go back that far. Belts are kept as short as possible and the shoulder harness should be at a 45* angle downward. That's from Simpsons own mounting instructions. I build and race cars, and safety is the most important part to me, so that's why I caught that.

Reference vid with real Red Barron car and others.

Great looking truck.

I knew someone would find that reference useful.

Good idea. I don't think you'll be disappointed in it. It's worked pretty good for me so far.

Please see the footage at the two links below. You will not be disappointed. The film (broken into 2 parts) was made by the NHRA based on action around the US Nationals held in Detroit in 1959. There is footage of the Masters Brothers Dragmaster, Oties Automotive altered from Akron , Ohio , as well as Art Arfons Green Monster, also from Akron . " Ohio " George Montgomery is also shown. http://www.archive.org/details/Ingenuit1958 http://www.archive.org/details/Ingenuit1958_2

Thanks. And you have to post pics off site like photo bucket and then use the image button to put the link to your pic in the post. I dont know why they do it like that, but it's pain and takes a long time if you have multi pics to post.

Make sure to get one with a gauge. I don't think the factory gauge on mine is that accurate. I tried setting it and painting and the paint looked spotted, dimpled or something. Not sure how to explain it, but it gave me the idea it was still running too high an air pressure for my air brush gun. I still like it over all, especially for the price. I've sunk a few nails and staples that came with it and they work well. Here's a link where I wrote up a little review of this unit after I had it a few days. I've had it since about April. http://moparperformancechat.forumotion.net...ressor-t286.htm

I have one of them too. They are pretty good for small jobs like airbrush work and nail guns and such. Only thing is, they are pretty noisy though. The built in reg is nice, but I'd add another one after your water trap if you want to use it to paint with an air brush.

Thanks guys. I had not even thought about Grainger. I'll check them out and order me up a motor asap. Thanks again.

Thanks for the addy. I'm really wanting to build one for my specific needs though. At least I have there fan outputs to compare with what I want to use mine for. I might e mail them and see if they will sell me just a replacement fan assembly.

That's correct. With a squirrel cage only the blades are in the air stream, so there is very little chance of fumes getting pulled inside the motor to cause a flash fire. And yes, I want to use it for more than painting models. I have shop that I build race cars out of and I occasionally restore a muscle car or two. I own a multi show winning Road Runner as well. A table top booth about the size of a sand blaster cabinet would work real nice.

Where can I get a cheap squirrel cage blower motor so I can build one. I checked the local Northern Tool and they don't have one. I don't recall seeing any at Harbor Freight either, but when I was there, I was not looking for one at the time. I might have missed it. Any ideas ??

Glad you liked. I knew someone would. Should give inspiration for some builds. I have no idea where the tracks are from. When you hit that home button it just starts you over again. I did some slick checking, how about Virginia? Maybe. I was going to e mail my friend that sent it, but I broke down the link first. It's a college web site. Try this. http://www.vaautoracing.org/ Full Throttle: A history of drag racing. This online exhibition has been created by the Blue Ridge Institute & Museum of Ferrum College (BRI). They have some circle track stuff too. This just keeps getting better.

Nice build. I have one of those I am working on. About half way completed now. Pretty fun to build and pretty easy to. Finding stuff I want to use for detailing always makes it take me longer to build one than it should.

Nice car.

The neg. cable should always go to the left head on a Mopar too.

A friend e mailed me this link full of old drag pics. There's rat rods, coupes, diggers and all sorts of old cars in here. Including a couple shots of the "Kings" Barracuda drag car from '65 '66. Enjoy. http://www.vaautoracing.org/Gallery2.html

Welcome,anytime. I just could not find anything else on the car in a google search.

That's the ending. Along with the closing speech. And it showed kids drinking milk in the classroom too.

Thanks.

Amazon has it. 12 bucks. ANd colds getting better. Thanks. Too bad it kept me down on my b day. http://www.amazon.com/Food-Gods-Marjoe-Gortner/dp/B000RO9PV4

Here's some pics I found off the net that might load faster. The white and green W is in this list of pics with rats all over it. http://www.stomptokyo.com/movies/f/food-of-the-gods.html

I found this. Maybe that will help a little. http://www.nhramedia.com/wklynews/1998-amato.html http://www.racediecast.com/DRAG%20CARS/ama...enneco24act.jpg

Ok, thanks.
