    Speedway video

    I know what you're saying there Ted. I've looked around for a building several times over the years and have come across a couple for a reasonable rent that would have suited my needs but when I checked in with the utility companies to find out an average monthly bill for the property(s) the...

    PC Dyno Software

    i was comparing DD to version 3.4 Standard which should be more than adequate for building a strong street motor.

    PC Dyno Software

    I just bought Desktop Dyno to replace my old Dyno 2000. I didn't read the specs close enough and found that DD didn't cover turbo chargers and superchargers in the version I bought (for $49.95). I phoned them and they said the turbo/supercharger option was available on the $99.99 version. If...

    Do you really use the portal?

    I use the portal, as well as the latest topics link, to see what's new. I don't like wading through the forum to find subjects I find interesting. I wish latest topics topics were automatically added to the portal itself and not in a side bar.

    Another Newbie Checking In

    Speedway sells several books that may help you. Their Track-T Instruction Manual covers building a car from their kit is one and the price is refundable if you buy a kit from them. I don't know how good the manual is but I'm guessing there will be a lot of good information in it. They also...

    Gel coat repair

    I Googled Flow Coat and all of the results were from companies in the UK, NZ or AU. Does anyone know of a comparable product available in the US or a US source for Flow Coat?

    Complete Newbie

    Before you decide on what body style you want get a copy of your state's inspection guidelines. Knowing what your state requires can save you a lot of hassle later on. For example for a coupe the state of Iowa requires that the car have defrosters. This applies to any closed car. I've seen a...

    Texas registeration

    Technically what you got with you T was not a title but an MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin). That doesn't alter the fact that the car is still being shown as a 2007 car. As far as I can tell Texas hasn't passed the SEMA Model which makes registration much easier. According to the SEMA...

    Painting the T

    Any good body shop can do the work. I would shop around to find the best shop. The more work you can do yourself the less expensive it will be. There will be imperfections in the fiberglass/gelcoat that will need to be filled, sanded, primed and sanded again using a guide coat. I would buy...

    4th July

    Thanks Gerry. I lived in East Anglia for four years in the mid 80s and although you have the 4th of July over there there isn't as much emphasis placed on the day as there is here and never once did my mates on the darts team at the Leiston Volunteer ever wish me a happy 4th.

    War Stories

    I was at the old Alamo Dragway south of San Antonio in Poteet, TX in the early 70s. Don Garlits and Shirley Muldowney were match racing. I was in her pit between rounds while they were rebuilding the engine. One of the crew members asked me to hand him a piston and rod. I did and got out of...

    Youngster could probably build you one and Paul Horton sells the pieces for welding one up.

    Tweedy Pie coming up for auction in August

    Money, money, money. The more you got the more you can buy. I imagine most of you have seen the email that's gone around the last year or so about the guy in Ankeny, Iowa who has at least one of each Chevy convertible ever built (except 1939 because they didn't build one that year). A friend...
