Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
It's alive, yea!
I sure do like the sound of a small block Super Stocker, gives me a smile. All systems look OK, no leaks, wheels turn, throttle sharp, fired right up with that good old popping idle. . Now to finish up some odds and ends details and give him a test. The plan is Texas Motorplex July 9th. |

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
On my trusty tables for a double check of four link setting, pinion angle, rear center and rear square.
The rear axle is at ride height [less wheels which is a huge working and visualizing advantage] Four link is neutral, [no preload] anti-roll link disconnected. Drivers seat has ballast equal to driver weight. The final preload and anti-roll link adjustment will be with wheels on and driver in seat. |

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
I have good help at the shop. They are qualified and experienced, and sometimes, well, beyond helpful.
Example, this morning we rolled the Super 10 out for a wash job. We are busy, phone going customers coming and going, then it begins to rain, truck still outside. After a while I realize the only way to finish washing is to stand out in the rain and get er done. So I am out in the rain, wash bucket and wash mitt in hand, getting wetter by the minute. Just as the rain increased one of my most helpful mechanics hollers, "hey boss man, you will never get that truck dried, it's raining!" |

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
new valve covers that allow plenty of rocker arm clearance.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
We are moving our race outing forward to the next available date for a local bracket race. A few minor fine tuning items remain on the punch list and in order to make this weeks race would require a last min rush.
I am old and it is miserable HOT in Texas and I no longer do rush jobs well, especially with my personal projects. Speaking of hot, check the Texas heat drivers fan. Note these Doug Lee valve covers, excellent work. A good guy doing a great job. http://propan.net/ |
