BB Tunnel Ram Setup

Looks like a cool can for the brake lines. Must be hard to slow that thing down [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

I don't care how fast it was or who put it together, even if it was Motion or the Mason Bros., that looks terrible and I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully that was just cobbled together quickly for the magazine shoot or something. That much floppy rubber fuel line not only looks terrible, but it's dangerous as well and would flunk technical inspection at most drag strips. The messed-up thing is if that was a random photo of an unknown car with that fuel line set-up, people would be laughing at it and rolling their eyes but since it happens to be a Baldwin-Motion car, it's supposed to be acceptable. Whatever. I remember doing something like that when I was like 16-17 years old and my father just ripped me a new one after seeing it!</div></div> True, it wouldn't pass tech inspection these days; but back then, there was no max 12&quot; of rubber fuel line rule. Jenkins had lots of rubber line on his motors back in the day. Duct tape too. 1970 NHRA Supernationals:

I was reading the Grumpy book today and saw that he used my favorite TR.

That Grumpy is good.

Anyone recalling a certain AMT (I think) model that is giving the inspiration for this build?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] </div></div>

Missed this post the first time. Yes, a Stinger hood with a sanitary cut-out for the TR/carbs/scoop/stacks would look great. Kids at my son's elementary school love my '55 when I rumble in at 3:00 to pick him up so the Nova would definitely get plenty of attention. Actually, the dads react more than the kids do! Their tired worn-down middle-aged faces light up when they see my '55 pulling in and they are immediately transported back to a happy time in their lives! (As am I when I drive the beast.) Now I want a TR for my '55.

As for the AMT Nova, I too built one back in the day. Silver, black guts, single Holley, stock hood, kit mags. Still packed in a box--since 1987--in the basement of my mother's house in Sacramento with my other 70s-80s model car builds.
