thanks Aone.. ill be watching for the goodies when i get home... Bill

I would have loved to been there!! My truck just would have been so hard on fuel it was out of the question this year, maybe next year.. My wife wouldn't let me get her car out of the garage just yet, she still worried about another snow and getting salt all over it.. At least she wants to take...

I was over to my shop today and after seeing this thread I stepped off and got around 600 sq. ft. all together.. I share the shop with my wife's brother-in-law and his brother.. They just store cars in there 1/3.. Shop includes water, power, trash dumpster and a bathroom...Costs us $100 bucks...

Wow chuck, looks like you are in for an adventure.. I wish you the best of luck and keep the pictures comming please. I'll be looking forward to every post...Bill

That looks great man...I cant wait to see in person...Bill

That would be true if only turning the engine around 2500 rpm. Also we are talking normally aspirated engines. If you add nitrous and or blower/supercharger totally different formula. Bill

Me and my older brother Tore up more stuff than a little bit when we were young..One I will never forget was painting our bicycles with dads new fangled paint gun.. We cleaned out the paint gun as we had seen dad do with a full cup (almost a quart) of paint thinner.. Dumped that down the drain...

Cubic inches * Max RPM = X X divided by 3,456 = Y Y divided by Volumetric Effiency (on normal size engines this number is around .85) = Z Z = Required Carb size in CFM The size of your carb will have to flow at least this much air.. Hope this helps...Bill

Looking good bud... Ill send you my address.. Thanks a million to you and Brian both..Bill

You could get on the Blue ridge parkway Near Hillsville or even Roanoke if you wanted .. it will take you all the way to Front Royal.. Very scenic but speed limit is 45 ..

Congratulate him for me.. Thats outstanding.

Dang Dave... I told you I did some casting, but looking at your casting I just do some practicing lol.. Looks great man really.. I need alot of pointers on pattern making I see that now..Bill

Made the exhaust pipe today.. Just about time to start riding the rzr's again, so time will be getting shorter and shorter in the shop..Bill

Excellent work.. Thanks.. I had never thought about the flywheel for guessing at the scale.. I was just wanting to get close so I could scale down something else to look realistic..Thanks again..Bill

Just watched the movie Argo.. Says it was based on the real thing...I was only 16 when it happened so I really wasn't paying much attention to news or tv at that age..Any way Thanks again Canada for a job well done..Bill
