He would sell it either way, but he preferred rolling chassis. And I like it that way too. I am not going to put too much power in it. Maybe 5.90 1/8, low 9's 1/4 mile. I just wanted a good chassis, better than I need. I tried to get a quick pic of the inside of my new shop, the lighting wasn't good this morning. But just to show it is finished.

As usual I don't fit in every car and just don't think this would work well for me. So the search for a bracket car continues for me. 5.90 in the 1/8 wont take much HP in that chassis for sure. BTW nice to see you back here and nice shop. "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

Looks like all quality parts and craftsmanship. Even down to the gauges, quality parts That is what sold me on the car. I washed and dried it today in the sun and wind (65 deg, 35 mph). Tomorrow I will make a spot in the new garage and wipe down the frame tubes with a rag and WD-40, while inspecting things like the heim joints, etc. The machine shop is just one of my hobbies. I worked in one as a college student back in the late '70's.... Learned a lot and like doing it. With my welding, I like to think I can fabricate almost anything... LOL As far as the engine combo, just putting some thought into it now. I wanted a good chassis, but I don't plan on putting too much power in it. Maybe 650 HP will move this chassis just fine for this old man. Good retirement plan! 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1

No, I mean what are you planning to MAKE with all those machines??? Do you wake up in the morning after dreaming of something metal and think: "Today, I'm going to build a 6-piece, gun-drilled, 4130 chro-moly Framistotz valve... with a hydraulic hinge in the middle!"?

Awesome on the car! My lathe is only a 6 foot bed but honestly I have never needed it to be longer and my machine shop is only 12' x 24' so putting a longer one in the shop would be a challenge. I have a VFD on it now and am having a little resonance issue at 60/70% speed that I need to figure out. With the new Bison chuck its amazing how straight it cuts. Cuts better then the Leblonds we have at work. The mill I worked at bought it new in 1969. I bought it in 1992. They did not maintain it well but the ways are in great shape. I had the gearbox and apron rebuilt and bought a bunch of new parts. Its in really great shape now. I gave my Bridgeport to my brother in law and stepped up to a new mill last year. I spent the money on a new Atrump 3 axis cnc bed mill with a digitizer. Wonderful toy that I am still learning how to use. Will take time to learn it all. So if you need custom CNC parts made let me know........ 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......
