    Dickey Betts

    Another icon has left us. Saw the ABB a number of times over the years and was a huge fan. He wasn't a household name but was still a pillar of guitar-dom. My two favorite guitar songs are his creations- Blue Sky and Jessica. Rock on... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Betts

    Derby Time Again!!!

    I just couldn't walk away... After being 0.2s off the course record last year, it was gnawing at me. When I did the math, the difference was about 8 feet at the finish line (less than 3 meters for you other people). If I was ~8' ahead of myself, I would have broken the record. I know I can...

    Link EFI ECU's - Any feedback?

    Met someone who recommended swapping out my Edelbrock for a Link ECU and some harness work. Has anyone here used them? Any thoughts or feedback, good or bad?

    Old Habits....

    I haven't been climbing much lately and had a climbing friend point it out, in a casual but pointed manner of, "Hey- let's go!" Then in January, we had a window of about 10 days of stable weather. About halfway through it I called him on the challenge and said, "You're on." Mt Hood is close...

    Gravity Racer, part IV

    The Portland Adult Soapbox Derby returns to Mt Tabor on the third Sat in August this year (8/20), and I think I am signing up for the madness once again. Rumor has it the organizers are trying to get the current record holders to come run again this year for a true King of the Mountain battle...

    Modeling a GT40

    If one were going to make model(s) of the GT40, I presently believe there are only 2 variations of the Mk I and Mk II. Is this accurate? My recollections are as such: The classic, original Mk I bodywork, no rear flares, twin nostril nose panel, small driving light, turn signal in lower...

    Budget Tubing Notcher Needed... Any Recommendations?

    As part of the truck build, I have a need to do some notching. Anyone have a decent recommendation for a tubing notcher? I don't mind paying a little bit for a decent one but the reality is I probably only need it for this project. I see horriblefright has them for cheap, Summit and JEGS have...

    Adventure RV

    If you're wondering why I haven't lifted a finger on the GT since the ignition problem popped back up last spring, this is why. For some time now, Bethany and I have been in search of the ideal RV for us. We had a slide in truck camper which allowed us to go just about anywhere we felt...

    The Next Generation

    There's lots of talk these days about the millennials not giving a crap about cars, their licenses, or driving in general. I am happy to report that the seed has sprouted in at least one kid from this century- my niece Kelly. Her dad (my brother-in-law) has a 63 Falcon and for a surprise that...
