It's almost that time again! Who is going to Tampa and what day will you be there? I would still like to meet a bunch of you folks. I looked for Dixie and Big Al last year but missed them... Mark

I am almost ready to get my steering linkage all connected up and welded up. I am fabricating some bits, and having to weld a small recess into my crossmemeber so the steering u-joint won't bind. Anyway, I will need to use 2 u-joints close together at t

Sharing a Picture
I am working on our family's geneology for my son. I came across this picture and figured I would share for the car buffs out there. This is an old family sand pit we had in our family way back in Penn. MC

Has anyone built their own EFI tank sump (tray)?
I have 2 good GM EFI in tank pump setups. I have ordered the poly Tanks Inc. tank for my build. Has anyone put a stock GM pump unit into a Tanks Inc. tank. I know they sell a unit for their tanks, but was wondering if anyone has done this to save cost,

Coolest Car You Ever Drove
Seems to be some complaints about not enough "car" talk. Take a second, and think about what was the awesomist car you ever personally DROVE. And give a brief explanation why.... MCP.S. You can only talk about ONE. Pick wisely!

'36 Sees Daylight!
It doesn't look like much. But it rolls again (so I can move), and the tires and wheels are going to work out nicely. Can't wait to get moved and situated so I can crack open the engine, and start welding in the rear end...MC

Isn't it nice when something goes right?!
I think I finally got something right. I won't know for sure until I get the rear-end fabricated to the frame (some time in the future), but I had to order wheels so I could get my frame rolling for my eventual move. It was almost impossible to find any

Steering Rack - How Close is too close? Help (again)!
OK on to my next dilemma (and next set of flames I'm sure). Please see the attached pictures. The first one is a MII Power rack mocked up in my '36 Chevy. The input shaft is very close to the crossmember (5/8"). The 2nd pic is of a new TBird rack and

Trans mount question
I ended up getting a tube style engine mount that welds to the frame rails for my SBC. It is the "typical" one you see in the catalogs with an 8" drop and Nova pads. In the other post you can see the tranny I am using-- it is a 4L60 (700R4) with a Capri
