Deburring sheet metal piece edges is a sign of good craftsmanship.

I used Suspension Analyzer 2.4 by Performance Trends for my race car front & rear suspension design. The program is fairly intuitive and easy to use.

Speedweek, the biggest event on the Bonneville Salt Flats is coming up August 3rd to 9th. Put it on your bucket list- the venue is unique and it is like racing used to be in the '40s & '50s- no big money prizes, no TV coverage, just people out there for fun, and a timing slip is your only...

Sometimes the wait seems long but be glad you have not ordered a Randall with a few custom features- there is a 4 to 6 year waiting time for delivery.I carried a Randall Model #1 in the US Army. I could shave with that blade! https://randallknives.com/products/model-1-all-purpose-fighting-knife

Don't buy one for such a small job- borrow someone's riveter and bucking bar.

My computer crashed before I finished this post. You can insert a driven AN rivet to plug holes up to about 1/4". Since they are driven into place or squeezed, the rivet metal is forced into the hole radially so it is a very acceptable plug. No welding required with this method.

"...these 4 were not sold by 1968 or were used as FoMoCo show / promotional car." If they were the ones used by FoMoCo for promotional purposes, I sat in one of those four in a Ford dealer's showroom in Charlottesville, VA back in those days. I should have snapped a picture...:confused:

Avoid those aluminum brazing rods like the plague! They are high zinc content and have low tensile strength and really poor fatigue life. Just find a good TIG weldor and have him fusion weld the plug with an appropriate filler rod alloy.

My original post seems to have been removed arbitrarily. Ask Hobbs about his 10th place finish at the 1972 Riverside Can-Am. Tell him "Thank You" but we really would have preferred him to have been awarded that spot .

Back in 1954 our family lived in Mannheim. There was a program then that had the objective of providing "vacations" for some of the young German children of West Berlin to experience life outside that divided city. American military families could volunteer to host kids to live with them in...

One more story about John... In August 2006, I drove up to the Bonneville Salt Flats to attend Speed Week and experience the unique ambience of that strange place. John Horsman told me that a team from JCB would be there running a diesel-powered streamliner. John was familiar with that project...

Ask him about his Ferrari 512's finish in the 1972 Riverside Can-Am.:D

Loading my mid-engine race car on my aluminum tilt trailer entails loading it tail-first to get the proper tongue weight.

The American Southwest is a spectacular place but it can also be deadly to the unwary or unprepared. Fall or seriously injure yourself in the wilderness and you are in trouble. Contacting help by cell phone is frequently impossible in many areas and if you have a companion, the only option is to...

Get used to it. That will happen every time!

If you are anywhere near Wendover, UT. take a short drive out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. There is an upcoming Test & Tune event scheduled for June 28th and 29th.
