    Hello from So. Cal

    You are right,.... and I stand on what I said. Anyone who has a unit done there is going to get a job done 100% on the money I hate to say it, but on some things Dale Green is even pickier than I am. And my background is aircraft & aerospace.

    Hello from So. Cal

    Forgot to answer......... I have not done it for a long time but I remember it buy heart. I defiantly would do the sleeve mod, I have all I need to do a perfect job. Now about the porting,...... My right elbow started giving me trouble some years ago, I likely could do about 30 minutes of...

    Hello from So. Cal

    Thanks for the kind words, but you have to remember, it was... 1979 - 1984 when I was hanging out with those guys in Auburn. On the plus side, I have a good memory,... I remember a lot of this stuff. You want to laugh? Here's a little run down.............. If all you have is first gear and...

    Hello from So. Cal

    I knew it! I knew there was a chance on an "Excellent" site like this that someone would know who I was talking about! That pick up is after my time, but, do you or anyone remember his Burnt Orange Dart with center lines? 340, 727, 8 3/4, etc. That was the nicest A body in the whole area...

    Hello from So. Cal

    You are going to kill me, I have missed it each year, it never fails I hear about it after it is over, or I heard about it, and had to work. I just missed the event there at the park, some kind of Mopar parts swapmeet or something. One or two Sundays ago. I wanted to take a pair of 273 solid...

    Hello from So. Cal

    Thank you for the credit. I honestly would love to see if what was written up in that article was spot on to what I posted above. A bit much for the home mechanic, needing a lathe and all. And it's a bit tricky knurling copper tubing! You have to give it some support in the ID or else you...

    Hello from So. Cal

    I have friends that have built all kinds of cars. The fastest car here in the San Fernando Valley belongs to a friend of mine. It's an AMC. I am an expert on 1957-60 Ford pick ups, there is room enough in this world for all car guys to do their stuff. But I'll tell you this for...

    Hello from So. Cal

    Hey! I like this guy! There seems to be a good group here, it's great to be able to crack jokes and be among good people. I was in Winnipeg years ago, I was going to work for a good sized company there, "Chicago Blower". They liked me, and I aced their test, but, the law changed the year...

    Hello from So. Cal

    Doing it that way does not make good sense. Because the lines come out correctly when you have that copper "surfboard" witness. Doing it backwards could lead to excessive break through, installing a sleeve at that point and you painted yourself into a corner. Trying to establish the correct...

    Hello from So. Cal

    Will there be coffee and doughnuts? I am in Burbank, and I have been to Woodley Park for auto events in the past. I think the "Barris Custom" "Rat Fink" show was held there. I may be able to make it. Sounds cool.

    Hello from So. Cal

    Hello, I bumped into a guy driving a project Dart GT and all those old memories came flowing back. From 1979 to 1984 I was living in Auburn, Washington... Just down the hill from SIR, (Seattle International Raceway), I met a guy at work, Richard Gadberry, and we became best of friends. He was...
