  1. I understand your concern fully. Though i think you misunderstand my aims. I don't by any stretch think I can or should go into full scale production. However since I'd already intended to do my own casting specifically for a turbo intake, I thought I'd poke the forums. If anything while my draft is setup and I've got the material I would run off a set or two of my own manufacture. Depending if there was any interest or not. I don't have any intention of trying to be market competitive, even at half the price of ofy parts I would still recoup basic cost. I also understand that proof is in the pudding, so yes once everything is set up again, I'll have more to show than just aspirations. Thanks.
  2. Well it's been a couple of months and my projects are once again firmly on hold. 'Spose that's how it goes some times though. So until my working space is back in order I thought I'd poke the forum for thoughts and possible interest in cheaper aluminum parts. First and foremost intakes but also heads. Since right now the only new on the market are Edgy and they go for a truly exorbitant price. I understand you pay for the high quality and expertise of course, I'm saying that they seem rather inaccessible price wise. While I don't see myself producing cylinder heads quite yet, I am interested in the demand for another intake supplier. They would be made with good off cuts of a known alloy and could be made to order, for the same price or lower than the one or two currently available parts. It wouldn't be much of a to do with my background in design and fabrication. The machining would of course be done be someone competent and experienced, to insure good fitment and all that. Eager to hear from those more active than myself. IsaacR
  3. Welp, this is the first post from a long time wanderer of the forums. Thought I might as well make an account finally. Since we're moving on towards spring here in the northeast, all the mechanics and hot-rodders are going to be coming out of there caves before too long. Swap meets and show events are on the way and I'd like to follow. And additionally since I'm done helping a friend with his 41' I decided it's about time to bring my 51'? Cranbrook out of storage and start wrenching. I haven't touched it since late 2015 and the poor thing is bone stock with a detonated transmission. It was already done in when I bought the car and it's been stored since, but I recently tripped over a good deal on a stock replacement. Anyways, enough storytelling outta me. In a few days I'll need to move the car about 50 miles and thought I might save some cash by towing it myself and not renting a trailer. Nobody is made of money after all. Of course the question of this post is what experience folk have had with flat towing rather than bed towing over the years. And if something like this 51' would be an easy tow, considering I do have a couple of different bars meant for older vehicles. Thanks to all in advance. Isaac R.
