    LETS SEE SOME GRAND PRIX'S

    Removed the converter flashing 3200 and put in a new Hughes unit that flash's 4000-4200 -supposed to anyhow. WOW -pulls like a mad bear! A friend said it was squirrely in first but went straight when I shifted. Had felt like it waddled down the track with 10psi/28x9's, so I put 14 psi in them...

    Inner door structure

    I decided to leave mine alone. I had someone tell me they knew someone that had taken there's out and only shed about 10 pounds per door. Allot of work for to little for me.

    Inner door structure

    Have been looking-thinking of ways to take more unneeded weight off of my GP race car. I changed a door on a Cutlass once, -they are HEAVY DOORS. The bare shell can't be to heavy?- skin and inside panel. There is a good size crash bar I guess you'd call it from front to back. I haven't looked...

    LETS SEE SOME GRAND PRIX'S

    Made 2 runs, was not as prepared as I had thought. Never driven on a drag strip before, so the tree was tricky-FAST for me and the helmet and straps. lol To much to do. Left in 2nd gear and freaked out because it didn't shift when I went for 3rd and let up for a moment. 2nd run -left a tad late...

    85 442 concept car

    "From a post" I had the pleasure of working at Olds Engineering as a co-op student '81-86. Got to drive lots of 442s and some Hurst Olds too, working for Bill Porterfield. Darth Vader was one car I never got to drive. A buddy got the keys and had it sideways leaving the security gate. No one...

    Why everyone is putting Chevy's in the off brands!

    10-15 years ago in Car Craft or?? there was a yellow 56 Chev 2dr sedan that by all accounts was another clean old Chev rod. It had a 460 ford in it. A friend told me some years back he went to a all Ford event in another city and a mid-late 70's Corvette rolled in, -yes it had a Ford engine in...

    Why everyone is putting Chevy's in the off brands!

    Once a guy was at the house with his wife, -I referred to my GP/Cad 500 as the baby Coupe Deville, -she went around the side looking all over for that Cadillac. Finally came back and said she didn't see it. We had been talking all along about putting 472/500's in stuff other than Cad's. LOL By...
