Hi everyone,

Glad to have you on board with the RPM Rick !

On another subject - CARPET

I posted on another thread that we are getting ready to send the large carpet container to have it filled with flat ( not rolled ) correct carpet. If anyone would like to be added to the order give Charlie a call at the shop 1-855-532-7846 ( toll Free ) . We're going to order in a matter of days.

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop.<-- is that intended CARPET PUN there

A period of time that isn't long.

A shipment is on the way to me, so I'd expect it to be in my hands by early next week.

Rick,

You're from WI where 'shortly' could mean to any where between two weeks and the next growing season.

I'm from CA where it means now to yesterday.

I'll drop you an order since I'm sure I need other stuff.

Hello Tom, { "in preparation for a project we are working on" }
This wouldn't be the 'Book' Mr. Walden was going to put together was it? I figured I bugged him enough about it. ............
Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Here is another installment in the "project". We'll keep everyone informed as we move along. Both the Valiant and Challenger pictures shown below were taken in the last few weeks.

More to come !

Tom,

Just noticed the seat reinforcement brackets on the driver side of the chally. Were all bucket seat cars supposed to get those reinforcement brackets? I know our 70 chally vert is a fairly early prod. car (SPO of 9/28/69) but it does not have them. It does have the square plates like are on the pass side seat floor pan.

By the way, phenominal pics!

Hi Brian,

Great catch. They are reinforcements for the 6 way seat on the drivers side. Nice to chat with you today.

How many individual photos were Photoshop'd together to make just one clear, crisp photo of those two cars????? (looks like about 100+ each ).

Hi Mike,

As you know you have to start out with a good quality photo to end up with a finished product like this. We also used a new lighting system for lifts that we are going to offer in our product line. None of the pictures were enhanced or altered except to clean up the underside of the red lift for future logos. The completed file size got pretty large but 25-30 clean high resolution photos were merged together to create the finished product. I have included one of the original pictures to show where we started.

We wanted to do both pictures since many people didn't have the opportunity to see the cars from the underside other than various shots in the magazines.

Thanks to all for the positive comments posted above.

Tom,

beautiful pics!!

i have an RPM question.

how would it hold up on a aluminum carburetor?

the reason i ask is due to the potential engine heat putting at risk returning the RPM to a liquid, therefore risking the liquifies RPM running down and off of the carb

i think i recall that you guys used it on the exhaust of the car which obvioulsy would get hotter than the carb would, but i would think the car hasnt been run for long periods of time either so it may not be a good point of reference

i just want to keep the carb from getting that aged oxidized look without having to maintain its finish periodically

thank you
tony

Hi Tony,

Great question.

The exhaust you mentioned we used RPM on is the Valiant pictured above. It's used on the NOS head pipe and it has seen quite a bit of heat in fact, I have seen the temperature gauge almost at full operating temp. when moving the car around. I know the slant 6 isn't a fire breather but I have looked at the pipe on the lift after it has been run and the pipe's plenty hot and there is no sign of it running off once heat is applied. You can see from the picture that the pipe still retains an original look after a year. We have found that with heat RPM goes through a curing process.

I think RPM has merit in this situation. Steve's aluminum wheels are doing well after a year of driving. Have you tried RPM on other components? You didn't say if this is a show Car or a driver. We might get some input from the judging types on this thread on how this would go in the judging arena. comments? - input?

We saw 102 degrees today in St. Louis - stay cool out there.

Great! Thanks Tom! Now thats one more thing I gotta put this stuff on. You know how much more work you just created for me?!?!?!?!?!?!?

hi Tom

thanks for the great answer,

believe it or not the application that id like to use this on has absolutely zero to do with judging, isnt that great!

to be totally candid its for a 32 ford with a 392 hemi thats dual quad equipped. im putting a pair of old carter AFBs on it and i know RPM works great in countless other applications and was just wondering what your thoughts were on them preserving the aluminum on the carbs, i think ill go for it, thank you!

its nice to build, or restore in this case, an old hot rod where there are no judging guidelines, my only restrictions are trying to keep it as old school as possible since my uncle has owned the car since the early 1950s (until i bought it from him a couple of years ago) when he originally hot rodded it.

thanks again
tony
