Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

[FireSale]

I can really see the advantages in the truck body with this build. So much easier to work on the back half of the car. I mini tubbed my Mustang and will never do that again. 4 link and full tubs if I live long enough.

Dale, You are correct. I have done several projects with mini-tubs and full back half buildups. The Super 10 is much easier because of the removable bed.

This morning when I was slicing the bed sheet metal I was thinking, "Yea, no dirt and metal shavings raining down on me!"

Being able to work everything from the top is a huge advantage.

Yea! Good progress! This is a trial fit and very close for the first checking. Slightly more trimming in a few spots and the bed will set on it's mounts.

Notice how well the 32 x 14 tires fit the untouched fender opening.

Larry,
You have build, raced and sold some nice cars in the last few years... This one is quickly becoming my favorite!
Keep up the good work.

Ken, I agree. Each time I walking in the shop and look it over I smile. Also, the overall package is good. I am looking forward to some win lights with the Super 10

Just now I am "fretting" with the headers. The header fitment is the one troublesome issue.

More post and pics soon.

Attention Class Racer viewers!

You are seeing it for the first time here, A new and innovative ignition system. One of our Team Woodfin engineers conceived the design while in bed with a fever. He says, "it came to me in a vision"

At first glance it may appear to be an old HEI distributor with a spare MSD plug wire stuck in the cam bore. If that is what you see then the disguise is working.

You may recall how new car designers cover the new product with usual looking coverings when road testing the new product, that is how we got the idea.

It is OK for you to know the basic concept because the patent is pending. [I forgot to pencil that patent pending logo on before taking the photo]

The internal, valley oiled distributor is driven by a worm gear on #5 exhaust pushrod. One of our team members thinks timing will be an issue because the distributor will stop at each end of the pushrod travel.

I think it will be fine, all we have to do is time the distributor stopping between firing cycles.

Back to reality, the Super 10 will have an excellent stance.

I do enjoying be different and that is reflected with the step bed
