    What is the best/worst you've done when selling at a swap meet?

    A friend and I went to Ford Carlisle 10-years ago and sold $18,000 worth of stuff between us. That was the best haul we ever had at a swap meet. I sold a BBF Trick Titanium bellhousing, a Boss 429 block, some intakes. It added up fast and we were a lot lighter on the trip home. Any Carlisle...

    Hi all.

    Yes, you can. I belong to A Bodies and B Bodies with the same user ID. They are all separate websites, so it's no issue so long as someone else doesn't already have it. Tom

    Good painter in central Indiana

    Hello, Any plans for that rotisserie when you finish that car? I've been wanting to buy one for awhile, but they are always half way across the country. I am in Terre Haute, so that's close by. Thanks, Tom

    It machines just fine so long as you have quality carbide inserts, coolant flow, and a constant spindle speed lathe. Titanium holds heat like crazy so you can't machine it at ferrous alloy speeds and feeds or you'll burn up the inserts. However if done correctly it is no issue to deal with and...

    JR Dragster

    The juniors that race at our local track look like their grandparents are footing the bill. They all show up in box trailers pulled by monstrous motorhomes. I was happy to own a 20" bicycle when I was a kid. I got a moped when I turned 14, but I had to pay for it. Personally if I had kids they...

    Made Some Titanium 440 Crankshaft Damper Bolts & Washers Today

    I probably bought those bolts 15-years ago when eBay was still a great site and there were lots of sellers. You don't see the treasures that were once there anymore. Yes, they were single point cut. I wasn't worried about thread rolling them for two bolts. Tom

    Battleship New Jersey returns!

    I worked in an Army machine shop at Crane Naval Weapons Depot at Crane Indiana for 3-years while I was going to college. While I was there they scraped all the tooling from the Tool Room for the 16" projectiles used on the big battle ship guns. They also scraped a lathe that had 100 foot...

    The thrill is gone?

    I don't have the desire to go race like I used to mainly because all the guys I looked up to when I was a kid, or raced with are all long gone now, not very many of them left. Tracks don't have the crowds they once did, so there is less money for track operators to keep them in great shape. I...

    I might be making some titanium washers to sell in the future, but the bolts won't be offered because I only had three of them to start with. I'll let you know if I make a run of washers. Tom

    Made Some Titanium 440 Crankshaft Damper Bolts & Washers Today

    The heat has been pretty oppressive the last two weeks in Indiana, so I figured it was time to get this project done and spend some time in the AC. I took a couple 7/8" diameter 12-point titanium aircraft bolts I bought off eBay years ago and made them into crankshaft damper bolts. Titanium is...

    [FOR SALE] Molnar Technologies 4340 Forged Steel 470" 3.91" Stroke 383-400 "B" Block Stroker Crankshaft - New

    With the difference between a 6.535" B length rod and the 6.76" RB length rod on a 3.91" stroke you're looking at a 1.67 rod stroke ratio vs 1.73 rod stroke ratio. The first thing in deciding this is your intended use. If it's a track only engine then I would probably go with a 6.76" rod to get...
