Ok..I enjoy this one.

Here how it works.

Each pic will be accompanied by a few hints. These will be production cars, not concepts or one off’s.

I’ll post them as often as possible and keep a tally of the first right answer on the image that follows.

The first with five correct answers will win a free gift. Normally, car related DVD, CD or a Bolt Depot Fastener gauge (screw/bolt) – metric or U.S. (These will be mailed to you, so you are going to have to provide an address.)

Just thought I’d follow-up with the finished product.

If you look a back at the original post (http://wp.me/pKHNM-sS) you can catch up on this mini project.

After a few more hour of sanding with 220 and 600 grit and Purple Metal Polish (applied with the 600 grit and polishing wheel for my Dremel) you can see the results as compared with the original code aluminum pieces.

New Heim Joint

Now I won’t be able use the entire kit from Summit Racing but I will install this as the replacement for the old stock tension bracket.

Thanks for reading.

I love attending car shows. Either as just a spectator or participant, I have capital F, capital U, capital N.

Today (2/20/2011) I attend for the 3rd year Tucson’s Fords on 4th Ave. A very good size show for the area, considering it was limited to Fords. This year I was only a spectator the Mustang wasn’t ready for a show (needed a bunch of detailing).

There were a ton of newer Mustangs, nice machines, shinny inter-cooled turbos and all the tubing, all nice machines, no doubt. But there was a huge void of older Fords. I love seeing the 40’s and 50’s Fords and Mercurys.

The stars for me of this show were the Fairlanes and Galaxies. Yes there were 60 Mustangs, Shelby’s, Mach I’s and GT. But the lines of these longer 60’s cars are just some of the best designed, ever.

Just check these out:

67 Fairlane GT 390

Fairlane 500

There more coming up from the all Ford car show.

Auto Factoids 2011-1 Corvette Fuelies RPO 5789E

1957 – 1958 saw the use of the New 283 engine in Chevy‘s including the Corvette.

The Corvette was fitted with the Rochester RamJet and RAM’s horn intake as the RPO Code 579D. But recently during some research I read that there was another modification.

It was called the Air Box Option, RPO 579E and it was perhaps the first production cold air induction system(at least for Chevy).

It consisted of a plenum box mounted on the fender well of the driver’s side. The box was fitted to an opening in the bulkhead next to the radiator with an air filter inside. The duck work ran to the fuelies injection unit.

Records indicate that there were only 43 produced in 1957.

Happy New Year.

Unfortunately I have to start the year out with a legal notice. It seems that my writings are so inspiring(…ok…stop laughing!!!) that a few sites have decided that they would use them on their sites in total, placing ads in the middle for their profit and not requesting permission.

I enjoy writing my blog and I do it to share experiences and social interaction.

If you like it, great!!

If you’d like to share links, I’m all for it

If you want to post entire articles ask permission and I’ll send you my list of requirements for accomplishing this.

If you want to use my articles and place and in the articles, we need to talk first.

Thanks for reading.

Tim
