Wow... The instrument cluster looks a little different than stock.
 
Wow - that car sounds like it's about to take flight!

I crunch third a lot, so I got a little empathetic chuckle out of that part - hehehe :-)

The car looks and sound great! Beautiful work! bravo!
 
I'll post some better videos and pics in a couple of weeks. Some purists will hate the car but we saved it from doom. The gearbox is still very tight and the short shift makes it difficult, we'll be swapping in the stock shifter for break in. Thanks for looking. Chris
 
Looking good!
 
Did you see the smiles?
 
Man you guys have the toys! Spridget with a supercharger, a blue Mini in the background. I like the dash. Looks great!
 
That 12G295 Head went to Jack Laird for Miss Agatha. The motor is a 1275 bored 40 over and an aluminum head.

Jim bring your Midget over anytime, we are in the garage every Saturday. Except for this weekend as we will be in Indy for Moto GP.
 
I got it indeed. It sets on my workbench waiting an appropiate time to determine the displacement of the cylinders with the piston up so I can have it milled properly and not decrease the compression.

I look at it daily with affection.
 
Hope you're having fun at Indy. I'll have to take you up on that offer sometime soon. I've got family over that way. Would be a great to split early and have some fun in the shop. BTW...are you planning on going to the Hiawassee event Sept. 26th?
 
Man, I haven't been to Hiawassee in years. I used to spend my summers at the Eagle Mnt trout farm. Wish I could drive up for this but don't think my car will be ready for that long of a drive (nor my back, lol)
