RUNNING A LITTLE BEHIND

Well folks,seems I'm running a little behind on this.It's the story of my life lately.I'm sure other people out there can probably relate.
Family matters take priority,and hopefully I will be able to show a
mock up of the rear disc brake setup and checking for proper fit and clearances.This will be done on the bench as I have taken the housing off and we can pay attension to it in a closer manner.Any way,I wanted to weld the four link brackets all the way,so I won't have to weld them upside down.
Pictures to follow soon with next installment.
Have a safe Memorial Day Holiday,and being a USMC Viet Nam war vetern,I will be thinking of friends I left behind there,and the sacrifice they and all war dead,gave to us for our way of life.
Thanks,
            Paisano

2011 CARLISLE SWAP MEET


Panhead checking out the situation

Well,Panhead Phil and I made the annual treck to Carlisle this year to see what they had to offer.Couldn't have asked for better weather.Here's a flick of Panhead scopping out which way to go,[seems he always gets lost].He doesn't know about the "bread crumbs" trick yet, to finding his way.
There seemed to be a lot of cars for sale,some good,some real "shaddy" looking.It was like putting lipstick on a pig,you still have a pig.Here's a picture of a real nice piece of a Street Iron.
Man you talk about "OLD SCHOOL", this intake manifold and car set up was super neet.You just don't see that much anymore.And if you did,it's gonna have a nice price tagon it.I didn't ask how much he wanted..

I love,I love my little calender girl, thanks to Neil Sedaka

The CHICKS were hot at Carlyisle. Couldn't get a real one to get a picture with this time, so I had to settle for the next best thing.MAN,AIN'T SHE GREAT!
This person put a lot of $ and work on this pink ride.
Real nice intake that you don't find often
Owner was great person to talk about his ride,thanks Paisano
