Frenchtown, do you mean floor pan under the car or trans or a pan separating you from the trans?

Are you looking for a specific decal or sheets of material? I got 2 small rolls of it from E bay to do the side trim of an Impala. They had it up to 12 inches wide.

You could use a FR1010 flaming river battery diconnect switch with mag kill. You need one anyway so if this fails at a track you have a better chance of replacing it.

I will be walking it yet again this year. Always a good time any way you look at it.

You may have to take a 6 inch od with 1/2" wall tube and turn down to the desired size. Metal depot or similar sites have some listed.

Front Engine Dragsters / Re: shifter problems...
« on: March 05, 2019, 07:53:19 AM »
A picture of the mounting end on the shifter will  help. Usually there are two styles, one with a tab to fasten it(B&M) and a morse style. Compare it to a pic from Jegs or Summit.
A word of caution, the heavy duty cable is not very flexible! I bought one but ended up with a regular cable.

Thanks Bruce,is placement of a doubler specified or put it in the most convenient location for easy routing?
It is an altered so the bottom rail works well.

I found this while searching for fire bottle cable info. Does everyone else actually run the cable inside of a frame tube or through the uprite holes and attach above the lower frame rail?
 The only metal cased cables I have seen are large and have push only activation. I believe Roo was  setting this up to pull with a lever.  The grey cables are all I see used.
Any help is appreciated, especially pictures.

Two sites to read are
https://myth-racing.com/tech-talk/  (this site is often down)
And Alky diggers article by Gene Adams.
This is very doable, but you may feel like a salmon swimming against the flow of sbc,bbc .

Wanted to buy / Re: 2 port hat (abused, damaged, homemade is great!)
« on: January 20, 2019, 07:43:59 AM »
Check out bitchinsurferscoops.com. They repop a scoop from the early sixties, somewhat similar to the GBP car. You can drill your holes although he did have a few options.

I still have a Hilborn injection setup for a 413 . It was Duster Daves, new hoses but no stacks. I ended up staying with early hemis and had this sold to a friend. Still no money. See the pics under for sale about 2 years ago.  705 330 6677
