Thanks Joe, The lakester will be rear engine (GMC 302 strait six). I have this dream of someday turning it into a liner. The dragster prints sounds like a great idea. Where does one obtain a set? I'm

This may be another controversial subject but let me fire the opening salvo: Building a chassis with square tubing is FAR easier than round tubing!!! The chassis tube intersections will drive you cr

I cut all the regulation 1-5/8" x .125" round steel tubing for my roadster roll cage with one of Speedway's joint jiggers which uses a 1-3/4" hole saw in a 1/2" drill press. I followed the model in t

I'll have to admit that the round- tube chassis that I built was before the invention of "Joint Jiggers"-- it was a hacksaw and a round Nicholsen file job-- strictly a manual operation. The thing wa
