xcarguy Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Shane, it's probably a show pony, probably wouldn't make one lap.. :leaving: :troll: Tom But show ponies are more than welcome to come join in the fun of course. . . . short history of the car . . . purchased it off the floor of the NY Auto Show in the 70's . . . raced it locally instead of delivering it to the owner in Massachusetts . . . This was a ‘show pony’ turned ‘go pony’ early on. I’m betting it goes as well as it shows. drewbreae, that looks to be an official invite from Tom. Hope to see you and the Cat at NJMP. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Oh hell, thats an invite to the July 4/5/6 event. I want to see this one in person. Some beautiful details in this build and an amazing amount of power from that turbo. :cooldude: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I just drooled on myself saying that. :drool: Drewbrese, what trans, rear/diff/gearing, exhaust, throttle body setup, engine management system?

drewbrese Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Thanks for the invite to the event at NJMP. I'll do my best to make it. Car will be used more for go than show. Also, planning to meet the engine builder tomorrow to get educated on what's under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamericano Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It is impossible to beat the look of bare aluminium. Congratulations on a beautiful car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbrese Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Tried to go for a drive today but about 10 minutes in the engine stopped. For some reason I had low to no fuel pressure but was able to limp it home. Disassembled the fuel filter and found a mess inside, no idea what it is, kind of looks like peeled paint. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14739&stc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamericano Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Let that be a lesson to all of us. Never put latex house paint in the gas tank. Seriously, thank God for the filter. It looks like it did its job. Might want to scope the tank and/or run a couple tanks of fuel system cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezy7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Maybe it is coating used to seal rusty tanks, if so it might be time for a new tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaximander Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I bet someone used a product called Kreem which is used to seal motorcycle/atv etc. gas tanks from rust, corrosion and leaking. It is a lousy product with a checkered history. I suspect that may be your culprit? With the possibility of a total tank failure, might be cheaper and less frightful to get a new gas tank?

inchoate Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 i'd say it's definitely new fuel tank time. my car had a fuel cell in it at one point and i was pulling foam out of my fuel filter until quite recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
