Mooneyzs Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I have some pics of one of Kenny Beirnsteins Budweiser cars from the early 80's from a car show here in the phoenix area that it was displayed I believe this car was redone. let me see if I can find and post real fast
Mooneyzs Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Sean... here is a couple of pics to hold you over until I have more time to upload more pics of this car. I would of uploaded them all but I need to get out the door here soon for work. but here is a few pics for you.... Hopefully these pics help out a little and then I will upload the rest. There is about 14 pics total that I have of this car.
Biffo Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Very useful Chris thanks, clears up the first thing i wondered, single or twin fuel pumps! and some nice fuel line info to, barrel valve ? shot would be good !

Biffo Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Thanx Chris, lots of inspiration there ! still b it unsure of what barrel valve on bug catcher looks like but i think it must be like a backwards,laid flat upside down "y" with one line from fuel pump and spliting to two to the injector and manifold blocks ! will scratch build what i mean and post ! got roll cage padding and oil filter lines done last night, wiil post later ! Thanks again !
Mooneyzs Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Sean I will dig through some more pics and see what i can find in way of barrel valves and post a few different ones that I can fine. I know I have a few pics.
Evil Appetite Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Wow..Chris....those are some fantastic pictures...they surely will be put to good use here as well!! Thanks!!
scalenut Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 what is the large black hose that's attached to the frame ? looks live it's connected to the valve cover ?
brett Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 oil breather tubes, they go to a collection tank (puke tank) through the chassis rails ( I think)
Mike 1017 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Can't wait for it to be done. I have lost or broken so many pairs of persciption that I've lost count.I use those "Reader Glasses" to builld my cars.I think they go up to 3.75 magnafication Wallgreens,Osco,Wallmart and the Dollar Store sell them.Look for 2 for 1 newspaper coupons Keep up the good work Mike
Biffo Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Ok finally got some photos and updates,( 11 days till show/competition time) Found a body up photo on an old Hot Rod mag cover so had to change the plug wires to BLUE ! also plumbed oil filters and fitted blower belt ! And now am working on 3rd Bug Catcher ! 1st one the alclad finish wasnt good, 2bd one finish was nice, but nhabdked it to much when fitting injector hoses, and rubbed paint off the fins !! And heres the third (paint finish not as good as second but no rub off on fins !) Hope you like ! All comments welcome, and thanks for all the photos Guys !
