Guys trust me dreams can come true So hurry up & finish those projects cause we aint here for ever for,

Model A's don't leak oil they just mark their territory.

I honestly say I have dreams of pulling up to a light with a Model A, and having some smart alek come up beside me and "gunning the throttle a little" to give me a razz.

The light changes - and I blow his doors off in my tricked out - but externally stock Model A.

THIS could possibly do it.

"See ya round boys!"



Gotta love that John Hoyt/Midas Muffler ad.

So Derek, are you going for a re-do of Burt Munro, only from the opposite end of the island? Vern

I would really like to hear and see that run. After 8 years on the Demon Team and taking a break the last three years, I might have to see about getting on another team. No place like Bonneville. Good luck with it, Mark.

I would like to see more pictures, intake, pulley set up and am curious what rpm it takes to make boost and how much. I have the parts to try a similar set up.
