    Car Alarms .

    My anti theft setup is part of a safety system. I have an Accusump accessory oil tank that is pressurized and if the pressure falls for any reason it pumps three quarts of oil into the engine. As the pressure returns to normal it pumps the oil back into the tank. If it falls lower, then the...

    Light weight BATTERY

    My bad.I misread the title of the thread. Well since you guys didn't like my 30-40# batteries then how about this 5 lb.one??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPJao1xLe7w&t=13s Or maybe it's little brother at less than one pound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3x_kYq3mHM Wonder if...

    Light weight BATTERY

    I have two. The first battery I bought for my GT 40 was the Ultima Red Top on my 351/408 Windsor(466 RWHP) from June of 07 til 2012. CCA @0 degrees of 720, CA @ 32 degrees of 910 and a Reserve capacity of 96. This was removed and sat for 4 years and now is used to run the winch for pulling my 40...

    Kwik load trailers

    Malcolm, I overcame my slant problem similar to yours. I got a 12" drop trailer hitch and reversed it so that the trailer needs only a bit of extra rise to use the standard ramps. I may add risers to the front axle or lower the rear. I just have to be careful with drive way angle. Bill

    Caffiene and Exotics

    Just got back from C&E and had a great time there. Met some guys from past events(there have been 3 other events during the year).The weather started out with a heavy drizzle as soon as I unloaded the car from the trailer. This lasted only for 15 minutes and a towel I had came in handy. Most...

    Mike's drb #41 build

    Mike, I have removed mine several times(stripping and repainting) and the alignment is a bit of issue. But you are going to have that issue no matter which way you remove the doors. Only each way will have its own issue. I left the attachment to the doors and removed from the body. The bolts are...

    Jm Cowden's GT 40

    Was going through my UTube videos and suggestions and came across Jim Cowden's video of his GT 40. Did a search on the forum but could not find a link to it anywhere. Even though since its inception in August it has been viewed some 7000+ times. This is a great video that explains his entry into...

    Oil coolers 101

    Cliff, Here is how I plumbed mine. I used 10 AN lines as that is the size the filter adapter, remote filter, and coler required. I also have the Accusump setup as well. The remote filter setup has 4 ports, two in and two out. My cooler utilizes a thermostatically controlled fan and that uses...

    Starter Button

    Go to the breaker yard and hunt for the S2000. Be sure to get the wiring harness(or any part of it) with it as well then you can go to the web and find the wiring diagram and match up the colors of the wiring. If you like safety then you will like the 2000 because it's wired so that the clutch...

    purchased GT40 bodies and molds

    Where did these bodys and molds come from?? The corvette suspension for the fronts are probably C-4 parts. DRB used them in their builds. Don't think they are available anymore??? May have to scour the junk yards. Some of the aftermarket places may have them?? Bill

    New exhaust we are finishing off on a CAV40

    I agree with Pat on the shielding. They are a mite close to the carbs. My suggestion is to consider switching the sides of the carbs, putting the fuel line in the middle. This will decrease the closeness of the fuel line to the pipes. A real consideration for a dead-end fuel line. If this fouls...

    Perspective

    Dropped by the house of a friend after a morning cruise in. It was the first time I had visited his house. He insisted on getting some shots of the cars together. I find it amazing at the difference in size of our cars compared to known models of cars that are thought to be small!! Bill
