That blue is mighty close to a 65 Futura colour.
Did the Bacha-ute show happen in Satdee's monsoon?

[Dr Goggles]

yeah.......just as I finished the guitar solo in "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" a chunk of water about the size of Footscray and an inch think fell on us.....



got heaps of work out of it but.......

That's me and Deb up front , Ian and Alics the world beating rhythm section at rear and 1967 Holden HR ute underneath........

Actually, Leo Fender used a lot of stock automotive colors in the 1960's, both Ford and GM.  It wouldn't surprise me that Lake Placid Blue was a Ford color.

Doc, Rev, I gotta say, the scheme you have right now is classic, and the only reason I'd change colors is if it made it go faster.

Nice stage, good work!

Sarah Palin has a huge motorhome with her name on the side of it. She's on a USA tour signing books.

Don't you forget it.

She's in the lower 48 where she doesn't have to wear as many clothes and that qualifies her as something to behold.

Matter not that she ain't won anything political.

But she is a Grandmother as a result of her out of control daughter and an Alaskan stud that has gone hunting.

That would be the ute that has the engine out of the same car that the gearbox in the belly tank was removed from

No, so far we have the Berk torn down to a roller and are reverse engineering the mill. It's got some pieces in there that are better than stock, but could be better still for running at the salt. (couldn't everything  )

"Hoop" the rim portion of the wheel that you weld the center to, without the center installed. 

I've never tried to purchase them seperately, but I would expect the import duty would be less as they are a component as opposed to a finished product. If you have to import them.

Just a thought I had as it sounds like whatever width and offset wheel you could get is still going to involve cutting & welding, might as well skip the cutting part. 

Not snowbound, yet.

Hey Freud, maybe not on the National stage, but she was Gov for a while, till the lawsuits damn near bankrupt her and her hubby. (best law money can buy  )


On that note, before I somehow get a 'chewin from slim, lets steer away from the political stuff eh?


Looks like a good time with the band, till the "rain" fell.

WOW, you snapped me back to reality.

I just remembered, Jesse Ventura was also a governor.

Wonder what the common thread was.

Top effort Ferd, only 20 words and you fitted "reality" and "Jesse Ventura" in there..................

Hey Erik, "hoop" wasn't a new word to me.........the decision was made back when the Spirit of Sunshine was but a glint in our eyes to go 15's because they were "good value for money"(comparatively)....the graph starts to level off pretty much when you look at the cost of those M/T's and the extra rolling distance they give you ( big/not much).....please, please, no-body mention the 18's...........

In an unnerving set of circumstances I ran into a bag lady the other day who used to harass me at a gig we used to do in Smith st (the rest of the band called her "your girlfriend") my boss was with me.....he has not let it rest since...I have been getting "hahahahahah...sorry,, hahahahaaha" texts DAILY since...it's nearly as annoying as the 18 inch thing, nearly.

So, I;m talking to Howard at Race Brakes, I get the background on a whole lot of goss on people in the salt game here.......mentions he sold some spindles or hubs (I can't remember) to Gary for the Jag , I get the low-down on the stuff up with the RodShop and one of his franchisees.....man what a saga  I'd say there'll be a soap written about it soon......

Anyway back on topic . On the page before this one I posted cam specs, does anyone out there have any comment on them? we're debating the severity of it and whether we go for something a little milder......

As Number Two used to say to Number 6 back in the Village, "Information . . . We want . . . Information"

It's probably all here, but you've got 53 pages going, so let's sum up:

RPM at the speed your looking to achieve.

Extent to which the ports are worked.

Valve size.

Induction.

Rocker ratio.

Compression ratio.

That will get us started.

Chris, I'm not really hijacking the thread -- but will sorta anyway.  Thank you very much, and please carry those thanks to your sponsor.  On the relish tray at our Thanksgiving dinner table is a nice display of Milwaukee Midget dill pickles.  Nancy put 'em out and right away I thought of your kindness in donating them.  They made the long trip here from Bonneville very well, thank you -- other than they seem to have turned green during their travels.

Happy Thanksgiving.
