A T roadster is a very small package sometimes. The stock T hood is only 25 inches long. Having done it, I know the trouble you are having stuffing an ARDUN into that chassis. You might have to move

This question came up more than 50 years ago in the age of Flathead (wrought iron engine) powered dirt-track racing in stock cars and sprinters with heating problems. One cure was a washer restrictor

Hey Keith Tommy Thompson, the owner of the Original Goldenrod streamliner that we used to race, said that the real trick was to find the right thickness of aluminum sheet to punch into the can shape.

There are probably very few new ideas in the world, and many ideas come to several people at the same time. The Coors aluminum can was developed about 1951. Many good ideas are never patented. Dave t

Author: <dthomssen@neb.rr.com>

Bump steer will result from the radius rod and the drag link not being on the same axis. In that case a steering dampener would be useful, especially on hard racing surfaces. Caster also helps. Dave

Street roadsters probably will always benefit from added weight because of their brick-like aerodynamics. I had to add 300 pounds to get up to 170 mph. There it started spinning and got to be a hand

I'm having more fun for less money than most, maybe all. I had $100 in a flathead shortblock that went 220MPH, so on a mph/$ basis that is cheaper than my tow rig. Dave the Hayseed -- Original Messag
