Several 64 1/2 and 65 Mustangs
1969 351C Mach 1
1969 327 Camaro (Hugger Orange or course)
I wonder how much that little indian kids motorcycle is worth? Im sure it would be impossible to find parts though if it broke.
I want the 56 or the Camaro resto-mods. The 56 is the best looking car in the lot (IMHO). I like the big Caddy also. I will admit I really like the Charger RT's but I remember how bad those old Dodge's were. Great engines and transmissions but everything else rusted away. Not many of those left.
Aaron you would need parts. I friend of mine had a 125 Indian in the early 70's and it was broke all the time.

Does anyone recognize this car from Hallett this year?

He said he ran a week or 2 after us.Quote:

Congrats Rob! Are you going to investigate any CMC contact?Quote:

And congrats Rob. Seems that competent and scary seems to pay off.
Good luck Rob-I like the initials of LTC (surely you will do better than them) We missed you this weekend though some people thought you were driving my car since your name is on it.
I couldn't figure out why my name is on your car but I remember putting it on there in April. Was it worth a second a lap I predicted? One yearI had stiuckers of my car made up and went around putting them on selected cars. Interestingly, those cars starting having mechanical issues, dnf's, etc. I got blamed for "placing a curse" on them.Quote:

If we had tried to "kick it out," I'm pretty sure we would have broken something significant.
Soon to be for sale in the other section. Nothing like paying somebody, twice, to apparently put a trans back together wrong. We're pretty sure the keys were NOT in the slider correctly.

Any pics before you disassembled the slider assy?Quote:

Are billet keys cheater camaro parts??!?!
Like this? All three were poking out and hung up well.Quote:

Who knew the T56 was so easy to work on! Just pull it out, take it to The OIF garage, and David and Scott will have it fixed in no time!Quote:

Well...... got the replacement cam in the CMC motor and got the motor sealed back up. Thanks for the cam James.
Went to swap in the bearings over to a spare A arm I have. Once I priced a new ball jointand install costs, I was better off oordering 2 new ones. Those will be here next Friday. Plans are to get it back to a roller again then find a frame shop.
Slowly but surely I am getting it back together. Still need to find or build a new y pipe.
Pretty sure you can get a dual 2.5" y pipe on Fleabay. Local guy here ran one, but he did bash it in good at Hallett last year. I think it hung low, but so did mine. I ended up patching it up with new bends and tucking it much higher and forward. Hardly a scratch on it. More than I can say for my fenders.
Yet another milestone in my hopeful return to racing!
Had a MRI to see if the PT I've been doing for the last year has made any difference and VERY happy to say that I am now the proud wearer of more than 50% return of muscle around the lower part of my spine - had 0% muscle - 100% fat at L4/5 and L5/S1 a year ago with a disc that was not at all interested in staying put. Even the doctor was pretty surprised at the progress so I am REALLY happy today!
Kyri is coming home for Thanksgiving (shhhh - its a surprise for Anna) so we are going to have some serious discussion on when the #404 will return to racing and maybe , just maybe, get around to that second car next year.
His super-sized trailer is sitting at his shop in Ohio along with the spare semi (yeah, the young man has a spare semi now so he can rotate without downtime!) so it's just a matter of when I can start racing and when he can.
Awesome; good job on healing up.Quote:

Race Car update:
1. Lifter fell thru clean, should be a big deal to replace them all.
2. Motor went lean and chunked one piston and got several others hot. It's at the builder now for further diagnosis.
3. Going to try a different tuner and keep the total timing at or below 32-deg
Knee update
1. Had knee surgery 11 days ago to fix a torn meniscus and clean up some cartilidge damage and just had a successful post-op appt.
2. Have gone to three PT appts and have an intensive home-therapy routine. Takes about an hour, twice a day. Was cleared to do body weight squatting yesterday. Will be back to pre-injury state by the first of the year, hopefully.
Geez, everyone's getting put back together in the off season. I have ankle surgery next week, gonna get me some little kid cartilage implanted. Plenty of time to heal for Hallett.
Dave I'm having a difficult time picturing what you're talking about if it isn't what's already in this article.

Dudes, good luck on all the surgery/rehabs.
Those are all the easy ones. Its the race in the back end of the input shaft that the bearing on the end of the mainshaft rides in.Quote:

I don't think the 3-jaw will fit in there. Paul "the new guy" has the collet version I am going to borrow.
Sean had a two-jaw that I tried and it didn't seem to have enough total "bite" given the jaw width.
Can't you rent that guy at the parts store? I used a version of that to do my pilot bearing in the Corvette. Rented the tool from OReilly's.
i borrowed something similar from Seans and stopped before I broke it... literally used a crescent wrench and pipe wrench to try and tighten it. Sean tried his handy bearing pry tools and nothing moved. Upside down can of compressed air... nothing. There's a collet version of the pullers on the way to try next.Quote:
