  1. Turn steering wheel and stomp on the gas.....Just kidding but it dose work. Try adjusting the stops if your car has them or maybe look into a different steering rack that has more movement.
  2. Make sure you have the volume turned on so you can hear the entire conversation. :rofl:
  3. Technology is very cool and is art a lot of times when one understands just how difficult that part is to make without the technology.
  4. That is just amazing. Watching the tankcar coming at the last engine I was thinking this is not going to be good and wanted to run even though I was just watching the video.
  5. Have to agree...tied on with rope....sure would not want to be standing behind it either....:rofl:
  6. Hi Mazda, Looks like you built it on top of a pool table.....very cool.... You might want to see if you can upload using an IGS file or an STL file. The STL file is the smoothest and is used by a lot of machines. Hope this helps.
  7. Now that is funny....but I figured if you had the top up and you had a date that would have broken the ICE for sure.....:smilielol5:
  8. +1 on that.
  9. Kess, Check with the Department of Motor Vehicles for your state before you spend your money to buy a car from England as you might not even be able to get it into the country let alone get it registered in your home state. Sometimes the least price is not the best price hafter all is said and done especially when buying a 7 of anytype. Enjoy your search for your next 7.
  10. Kess, That engine is a Pinto Engine. It is a very good engine and can be built to produce very reliable power. Here is a link that shows what a built one can look like. http://jalopnik.com/#!5165997/engine-of-the-day-ford-ohc As for the price of 14K for the car. I do not think you could purchase a Westfield Kit for that price and by the time you put it together I feel you would be around three times the asking price. Just my belief hope this helps.
  11. If they where in those buildings I would think so....:rofl:...
  12. Looks more like a bomb when off inside of it and not that it hit a pole. AMAZING just AMAZING.
  13. I would go with the Westfield as they have more cars on the road so parts are more avaiable. Just my belief.
  14. That has got to be one fast electric 7 if they can keep the rear wheels from going up in smoke evertime one pushes on the go pedal. Instant horse power and tourque.
  15. Hi Mike M., I do remember the rest stops and the restaurants and the gift shops that they had along with the service stations that where about every 50 miles or so and on the opposite side of the last one and that they were all built out of local field stone. Times sure were different then and traveling was an adventure for most folks during that time especially when done by car. PS: I grew up outside of Coatesville, Pa. which was a booming town back then with the main business being Lukens Steel Company which is now nothing like it was back then and neither is the town that I grew up in...sure is a shame.
  16. Jim, Find a junked Miata as it has a small handbrake that mounts the way John's dose and is also located in the topside of the trans tunnel with very little space. Hope this helps.
  17. That is neat and a great use of an old structure that would just decay and become a hazard if it were not used for something today. I do know of an old rail tunnel that was converted to grow mushrooms just outside of Kennet Square, PA. back in the early sixties but do not know if it is still being use as such today. This article and clip makes me think about all those days as a youngster riding my bike all around the area where I lived with my friends of that time. Sure was a much simpler time back then. As a kid growing up in PA. and having traveled on the PA Turnpike (RT 76) in the fifty's and early sixties with my parents and as a young man driving the PA Turnpike from Pittsburgh, Pa to just outside Philadelphia, Pa I do not recall ever going through any place call Laurel Hill, Pa. but it is most likely a little farm community that is along side of the turnpike and forgotten by most people except the locals kind of like the town in the movie CARS (Radiator Springs) and old Rt 66.
  18. That is one big overhead crane that they use to mate the schuttle to the fuel tank and solid rockets.....very impressive to say the least.
  19. Yep that would be big like the front bumper of a 1955 Buick Special.....:smilielol5:
  20. .... --- .-- -... .. --. :rofl:
  21. Hi Jim, I have an MGB parking brake and it sits on the passanger side of the trans tunnel and is small and dose not seem to get in the way of the passanger or get hot when out in the sun plus it stows almost out of view from the drivers side. Looking from drivers side when building. Looking from behind the car through the roll bar when building. Sory that they photos are not better but if you want I can always take a couple more and post those up for you to see.
  22. Yep Morse Code the old reliable from of comunication that will work when all the modern forms of comunication fail like text messaging. Gen-C has no real idea as to what will work in the end and how we arrived at this point. - - .... -.- ..-. .-.. -.-- . .-.. ..... ..--- M H K f l y e r 5 2 :rofl:
  23. Hi Tom, So I guess you will be putting your windshield back on....:devil:....to creat some drag then.
  24. That is funny...
  25. Hi Tom, Now all you need is a good removable cover for the passanger side to reduce the wind buffit and remove the headrest of the passanger seat so as to reduce the wind resistance.
