You're lucky he didn't just hit you with a.........................................................hold it.....................................................hold it.....................................rake.

So it's the same around the world? We have those '87 Mercedes Benz Diesels avoiding road tax.

Didn't you tell the officer you are using a historic lowering kit?

So I got pulled over today for having a lowered car on historic tags. Didn't know you couldn't do that. The cop just wanted to be a dickand was going to give me a repair order. A buddy of mine is a retired LEO and told him he can't write me for that and all he could do was give me a warning. So that's what I got, a warning. All these assholes driving around on historic tags for the daily drivers and I get some asshole all bent out of shape because I have a lowered car on historic tags. Guess I'll swap them out for street rod tags.

They're all over the internet, including IPD.

Bodies reassembled.

Very nice. I'm sure they will line up just fine haha.

The concern is having the ability to remove them from the pictured manifold and mounting them to say, a set of volvo competition manifolds. I'd rather not be married to this one manifold. But, it's a done deal now.

A "car", but deal with it. From todays shoot for autobild magazine.

So in Mikes world everyone gives up there right to guns? So while they are being shot at they call the Po Po and just wait it out?

but the guns would be illegal so nobody would have them, which means we'd all be SAFE! Problem solved.

Repasta my dear Chris.

I'll allow it. It's so hot, I'll repostpost it.

Spring not locked at full travel?

No. Need shorter shocks.

Rear suspension is complete.

crappy cell phone pic of how the rear sits now. Just tad lower.

OK, now I see it. Are you planning on running filters on the stacks ? I'm buying some now for some Webers, prior owner of a car was running the velocity stacks wide open.

Yes

How much work will it take to get it to fit ? What will be modified ? Or are you running intermediate runners to mate up the two parts ?

Why use the cast at all?

For mocking up purposes it's fine. I may replace it with a higher quality OEM set of manifolds.

A lot. Everything. No.

The DCOE flange needs to be cut in half, then the throttles will be split apart and welded to the flange. The throttles will also need some of the vacuum ports plugged and the inlets need to be turned to mate with the velocity stacks. The throttle outlets will probably need a round in the lathe as well to make port matching easier.

The cast manifold is clearly of dubious quality and will probably need to have the faces milled flat.

Since the throttles will be split, the fuel rail blank will be machined to fit the new spacing. AN fittings will also get welded on and mounting brackets will also need to be fabricated.

New rear spring setup showed up this week from Kaplhenke Racing. Looking forward to not having a raked out car.

Looking good, Matt!

I didn't realize it was a pushrod engine.

He used a shitty photographer too.
