  1. We will look at the exhaust as well. We really think we could hit 160 without any major mods. Add some weight and some skirts and possibly chop at some point. We really want to keep the look of the car though so a new nose etc. is probably not going to happen. If we decide we HAVE to go faster then we will build something more appropriate. It was a great experience though and one we will certainly do again. I love the ingenuity out there. The BYU electric streamliner which is powered by 880 dewalt drill batteries. They were shooting for 175 MPH this year. It was a ton of fun talking to them. Here is a link to their site if anyone likes this stuff....more than a little off topic though. HAAHAA. There were so many stories just like this....if you havent been yet you should. http://www.byustreamliner.com/tiki-index.php
  2. I am not too far from Oroville and I am really considering a few bids. One is the 59' Nash metro. We are building a 1960 Rambler American Wagon for her now but she really loves the metros. I also really like the 1955 Packard Clipper. I know, I know, I just love the oddball stuff though. LOL There is a 13% buyers fee also...FYI
  3. Hey guys long time no talk! Still running my 48' but this post is a different project! We just got back from World of Speed and had a great time. The last year or so we have been building my father in laws '50 to run on the salt and run we did. We managed to snag the 130 MPH club and next year we may try for the 150MPH club. We were just getting a little light in the rear end this time around. The car is powered by a 360 stroker (408 cubes) 904 tranny and a rear end from a Cordoba. Here is a video of our final run. I will try to post some pics of the car a little later. Enjoy -Nate
  4. I believe I have a cover out in the shop if any of you resto guys would like it. PM me and let me know...
  5. Congrats on the win. I guess you could say you had a leg up on the competition there.
  6. I wont be able attend this year (work stuff) but I will say it is one of the best if not the best show I have attended. The setting on the bluff overlooking the ocean, a free lunch, a great cruise, and some of the nicest folks around. I really wish I could attend this year. Our sedan took a plaque year before last...very nice myrtlewood. It is definitely worth the trip for those who are on the fence. -Nate
  7. I got mine as well and will confirm they are pretty darn nice! Thanks again for the heads up Tim.
  8. That looks like my kind of weekend. Thanks for posting!
  9. I have been watching this one for a bit. I really don't need another project at the moment. I really need to finish the wifes Rambler wagon before I get into another basket case.
  10. Looks fantastic. You have really earned your maiden voyage. It would be great to get a video of the first trip out. -Nate
  11. If there isn't something interesting to you on that page you shouldn't be here. Thanks for posting...I will indeed be there for awhile! -Nate
  12. With the interior being better AND the fact that you already know what has been done to your car, I would keep the one you have. Too little gained IMO.
  13. Thanks for the heads up, another set gone! That is a good price, I bought a set last year for a bit more. -Nate
