Well, you'd sure never get it on an NHRA track, at least not if there was a tech inspector who wasn't stoned.

Handy to have the rag close to the engine for the "fire supression". And yes, Rube Golberg built the throttle linkage, with help from Fibber McGee. (Those of you under 35, ignore.) FWD facing ehaust manifold dumpd. HHmmmm.Getting it ready for the twin turbo setup--love to see the engineering on that one. One stand out, though is that vintage intake manifold. I like the block flushing adapter in the top radiator hose, too. And dual fuel filters!

Not sure what that is so I suppose I'm not very familiar with Fibber, I have had some exposure though.

Rube Goldberg was the first real grassroots dork. People had done that stuff for centuries, but he brought it to the forefront, and published it.

The throttle linkage is the ground path for the wiper motor.

The OP's pics looks dangerous... If you touch it, it might catch fire, lose its brakes and crash into a convent full of Mother Angelica's nuns.

Is that a NY plate? If so, one more reason to avoid the state.

No, God is East Of Eden. Too easy; I'm sorry. I'll go back to my corner now.

Lots of potential there - good and bad. Those grassroots just need some fertilizer, that's all.

Was that taken at the Flatwoods outlet mall???

My folks are from that area, lots of redneck enginering in those parts...if it is flatwoods I think I know that car...There are lots of A body Mopars (and parts) in that area.
