I saw a guy, probably in his early 20s, pull the front wheel up doing about 50-60 mph on a busy highway. That in itself was bad enough but what really got my ass was he had a girl on the back. All I could think was if that were my daughter on the back, he would never ride again (and I'd...

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, 'How much for one of those Barbie dolls in the display window?' The salesperson answers, 'Which one do you mean, Sir? We have...

That's what I thought, the pressure while diving comes from the weight of the water above you. Water weighs around 60lb/cubic foot while air weighs around 0.08.

IRISH Alzheimer's Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost passed out when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I'm so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?" Murphy...

Thanks for the info Phil, I'll have to take some measurements first but I should be able to do the same for the Audi. A photo or two would be great. Great build, BTW. Thanks, Charlie

Phil, What did you use for an inner CV joint? Do you have any pictures of the setup and modification? Thanks, Charlie

Phil, How did you mate the Mustang Cobra inner CV to the ZF gearbox? Doesn't it have a splined shaft rather than a flange? I'm looking to use the same setup but mated to an Audi transaxle. Thanks, Charlie

It was two years ago that the governor killed the bill due mainly to objections from the DEP. This time the people leading the lobbying effort worked closely with the DEP and RMV so that wouldn't happen again. Previous versions would have registered replicas as the year of the vehicle it...

Mark, The street rod/replica legislation that's been in the works for over eight years here in MA was finally signed into law yesterday. There is a provision in the bill for cars currently under construction. If you register your car before April 2012 you get a free pass on emissions...

Yesterday Gov. Deval Patrick signed HB4871 into law. This law creates a special registration class for street rods, customs and replicas and gives us some relief on the emissions requirements. While not everything we were hoping for, this is still a huge improvement over the regulations in...

Good to see that you're back at it Mark. Looks great. Charlie

I bought a dual inlet dual outlet Flowmaster muffler from Summit. I've only run the engine on a test stand but it isn't very loud (a LOT quieter than my Cobra was). It wasn't that expensive either. Charlie

Now that's my idea of a "flotation device".

If cost wasn't a factor, I would go with the GT. Building my own is the only way I can afford it. Charlie

Russ, The photo below is FFR's IRS setup from their website. It uses the T-bird uprights, hubs, and brakes. I'm thinking of doing something similar. Originally I was going to use the C4 Corvette front suspension and DRB rear uprights with the Corvette hubs and brakes. When I had the...

Congratulations Mark! I hope this works out for you. Charlie

The T-bird uprights are aluminum. They're also easy to find and inexpensive, that's what I plan to use. I think I paid $100 for a pair with hubs and caliper brackets from a salvage yard. One thing to be aware of, the T-bird hub has a 4.25" bolt circle. If you want 4.5" like the normal Ford...

Chris, Could you post a photo and dimensions? Thanks, Charlie

I'm also interested in making a cash contribution to this effort. It sounds like this particular deal is for only about 10% of the drawings, if there are enough contributors involved perhaps we can coax some or all of the remaining drawings out of hiding. If the drawings do become available...
