Non R/C Projects!

I'd love to do one. Haven't had time. I've got plenty of other crazy projects though. Right now I've been kind of temporarily infatuated with Honda Civic's, early stuff 1989-1991. Got one with a B16 swap to run 13.8@101 normally aspirated (this car totally irritates my hotrod buddies, and I kind of like it). Building a boosted D16/vtec for it, and building another b18c for another drag civic. Hoping for 150hp per litre on the 18c naturally aspirated, and 250hp per litre on the boosted D16/vtec. Talk is cheap, we'll see what happens. It's gonna be a long winter...
I look at it like this, Donk, lowrider, lifted truck, import, ratrod, whatever your bag is, we're all "car guys", and I respect the amount of work it took whatever it is that you did.
Just put a new small block in my model-a. Here we are "breaking it in"...

I bought a bunch of tubing and flanges, gonna fab up a better headers for it. Something like organ pipes or something like that. Like on the Munsters Dragula.

I have to completely agree with you Bob-Stomer about all of us being car guys, we just customize in different ways. Here are more pics of the caddy named "UNPREDICTABLE". and yes that is my daughter Marsi trying to hop my caddy one day right after i washed it. she did pretty good at getting it in the air. the pic doesn't show it but she did.

Sweet car.
Here's a few pics of my low. 83 Cadillac. I can't take much of the credit for the original build, a friend of mine did it. But I had to re-do all the electrical, pumps, etc, after 2 separate FIRES!!! If you're juiced, carry a fire extinguisher. Stupid cheapo fomoco solenoids. I had 3 of them running the front and 3 in the back, still frying, fires, etc. Went to dual fork lift solenoids, been sweet ever since. 48 volts to the back, 72 volts to the front. Full frame wrap. I blew the left front cylinder about a year ago. Got the replacements (going 2" longer on the fronts) about a year ago... need to find time to get that handled.
Easily the funnest car I've ever had. My nephews always want a ride in uncle Bob's "bouncy car".
The local chief of police is a good friend of mine. He told me on the "down low" that they have never received more "complaints and phone calls on any single car or driver... ever". Most of it had to do with me laying a big 3 wheel going through intersections. Old people would call in that some car went through the intersection so fast it nearly rolled... So they call the law... ...heheh... I'm going like 10mph.
I could get a 24" double pump out of it, but I'm better at "clownin" with the car than competition hoping.
