The Powernation TV show on Spile TV, is building an 8BA on it their horse power program. Very interesting. Hope they give the cost of building. Chevk TV listings, it will be on during the week.

As part of the program, does Courtney Hansen interview Ol' Ron?

I think they tried to interview Ol'Ron but the censors got to it right away. You know Ron... he's a true character to say the least.

Hey Ron, what's Chevk TV ? I don't think it's on my Dish TV. I've got a million channels and nothing worth watching. Except Gun Smoke. Walt

Saw the show early Sat. morning on CBS Sports channel. It was very good. A couple of young guys tearing into a flatty and learn pretty quick that it's a lot of work. Stuck motor. Busting out a piston. Worth watching.
BTW. Courtney Hansen is going to be at the Syracuse show in July. I have my reservations for the weekend.

I think Courtney is a very intelegent young lady, well rounded in the automotive world. However, I'm too old to start a training program for her. I'd like to meet some young lady in her late 60's, early 70's with good eyesight and a pickup truck.

Rich Overton · 04-13-2014, 05:03 PM

And a fishing boat. Tell her to send pictures of the boat and the truck! LOL.

With Ol Rons eyesight he is probably using the braille system.

Good ON YA RON. Duz you need a hepper er I mean helper??

Ol' Ron · 04-13-2014, 06:45 PM

On my last engine build I put the cam in backwards, and had 3 speeds in revers.

Funny how we do those things. When I was building my dragster all I had for a steering box was a 40 Ford. I mounted it sideways under the dash with the sector shaft sticking out the side of the cowl. When I got the drag link hooked up I turned the steering wheel to the right and the wheels turned to the left. I didn't think I could think that fast. lol Walt

Go for it Ron!

Walt, If you ride a motor cycle much counter steering comes natural. Steer left turn right, no problem. Harley

mfagan · 04-14-2014, 02:22 PM

Well worth watching!!

gkgeiger · 04-26-2014, 09:47 AM
