I had a similar "AHA!!" moment somewhere around '95, after being a Euro sports-car snob since I drove my first Porsche around 1970. Combining the virtues of sports cars and hot rods has been one of my main interests ever since. Really like the look you have going here. It'll be worth the wait to see where it goes.

Yesterday was the First Day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Solstice, and the longest day of the year. Days will now be getting shorter again until the whole cycle reboots on Dec. 21.

Sounds like a great idea to me...maybe pinned under "Tips and Tricks". PS. I'm off to rip some zippers out of old shredded work pants.

Yes, but mostly dry mud. In the 1930s-'50s in California, timed speed runs on dry lakebeds like Muroc and El Mirage were popular alternatives to illegal street racing. Bonneville, the huge dry salt lakebed in Utah, was pretty much reserved for well funded private and professional land-speed-record attempts. The dry lakes in California were the spawning grounds for many young men who would go on to become legends in the American hot rod and racing community. Names like Ed Iskenderian (high performance cams), Ted Halibrand (wheels and other competition parts), Stuart Hilborn (racing fuel injection), Mickey Thompson (race car builder/driver, record setter, team owner, parts company founder) and many others got their start on the dry lakes. The days of dry-lakes racing were one of the golden eras in American motorsports. https://www.motortrend.com/news/0905rc-dry-lakes-racing-history/

Older is not, unfortunately, any guarantee of wiser.

Love this car, love this kit. Have 2 gluebombs (yes, hard to believe some incompetent would get their hands all over one and make a mess) and one virgin. The virgin will get built as kitted, one gluenomb will get restored but modified as a competition-only car, and the other mess will eventually be a flathead-Ford powered dry-lakes car. Looking forward to following your journey with this one.

When straws are outlawed, only outlaws will have straws...

Yes indeed...nicely done.

...and make one of these... Oops...

Superb.

Exceptionally nice work.

Others' ridiculous and often unfounded yet infinitely rebleated opinions have no power over individuals who seek the truth, and who possess the intellect to recognize it when they see it.

However you configure your search, just remember that the algorithm is pretty stupid. Using slightly different terms in multiple searches will almost always pull up more relevant results than a single search will...even within the same very narrow category. A good general tool-use rule: step one is pretending you're smarter than whatever tool you're using.

Tomorrow will be in the toilet if you don't live in rational reality today, and rail against the irrational that's become popular in some very vocal circles; evil triumphs when good men refuse to look at it, acknowledge it, and fight it.

Super slick job of fabbing that 90deg pedal setup, and getting everything to fit...and look believably functional too. A+.

I'll be very interested to see this project come together.

Life in a free country is the most precious gift imaginable; don't allow the stupid, the ignorant, the greedy, the mindlessly power-mad, or the just-plain-evil to tarnish even a single day of it.

Very nice pairing, interesting piece of history.

Not sure exactly what the message is here...

Encouraging individuals by recognizing exceptional performance is much better for society than giving everyone a trophy for just showing up.

Another big welcome, Hanjo. You have some fine work, and your English is one hellava lot better than my German (though I'm half German). Love those Alfas too.

Nice. Gotta love any well-built AWB, A/FX anything.
