I wonder if there's an advantage of going this route (above) vs. the one commonly posted on this site originally from @crackedback Rob. Looks like the one above eliminates the CD relay. Edit - I guess the advantage of running the CD relay is that once the cutoff switch is thrown, it kills all...

Which one did you go with???

These are the two I'm looking at: Pro Street Wiring Board Street/Strip Wiring Board

Leash has some good stuff too. That's probably be where I'll get the relay board for my car.

Did you make those lower control arms? They look pretty slick.

I don't follow NHRA much anymore, but how was Torrence's actions any different than what used to be common place in the heydays of NASCAR, ala Cale Yarborough - Bobby Allison? We seem to pick and choose when it's acceptable and when it's not.

One of my favorite finger photos.

Billing them for lost sponsorship? Ha! Good luck collecting on that.

Thanks! That's a really good idea. I thought about making one, but I have no way to cut the necessary keyway that it needs. Pinning the threaded portion on is a great alternative and makes a ton of sense.

You know a ton about these little machines! Do you know where one could find a tailstock leadscrew that's in good shape for one of these Craftsman 12" lathes. It's hard to tell from photos on ebay if the threads on a used piece are worth a crap.

I picked my first lathe up a couple years ago. It's one of the older Craftsman 12x36 models. The photo below is from when I finished dissembling and cleaning it up really well after I bought it. I've since picked up an overseas 6" 3-jaw chuck and it works great for everything I've needed it for...

What size drag radials are those?

Damn. That's a bad one. Good to see he walked away. It had to have rung his bell pretty good.

I like the idea of starting with good used stuff. Though I don't have kids myself, my neighbor spent a ton of money on a motorcross bike, pads, helmet, etc. for his kid. In less than a year, his son was over it and had moved on to his next hobby.

I guess it just depends on the shape of your midplate. The one I had was trimmed quite a bit and was shaped kinda like a triangle if that makes sense.

When my '66 had a midplate, the rigid dipstick tube cleared fine. Here's the one I used: Allstar Performance ALL69121 Allstar Performance Locking Transmission Dipsticks | Summit Racing

Thanks! My trunk looked like crap, so I covered it up. Good enough for a hotrod. Yours is coming along nicely! Your progress is keeping me motivated too. Keep it up! Here are some older shots:

That's basically what I did for my trunk. Turned out well I think and it makes for a cheap and functional trunk mat.

I like that idea too! I need to go out and look at the mechanism on my ratchet shifter and see if I can make it work with one of the unused microswitch spots. Lots of great ideas here!

Crazy how different they are in reality from advertised. Those are some meats!

What size tire is that again?

That'd be great. Thank you!

That makes sense. I'd love to see photos if you remember. I fought the issue on my trunk pan and had to do some shrinking to cure it. It was a quite aggravating.

Looks good! What are the anti pop can strips?

Try this (remember to hit mute). Obviously a video game though.

Completely computer generated, but funny none-the-less.

For my build, I was recommended something in the 260's @ .050 and around 0.650" lift, so similar to yours. I've got a Victor 383 intake and a few 4150 carbs to choose from (2 different 950's and an old school Holley 4781 850).

That's about what I'm looking at for my 470 build when I get to it. Minus the TR though. Can't wait to see the hotrod of yours make some passes.
