Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

[Dragsinger]

One of my goals with the Super 10 project is to show some items that are not usually addressed when documenting a build up.

To review from earlier comments, if you are considering doing more, building more than you have in the past these pages may encourage you to do so.

This information is not secret, it is common, done every day work that you can do with patience and education.

The pleasure I receive from drag racing only partly happens at the track. The work of building is also very rewarding. In addition, the learning process is very satisfying.

Using the Super 10 powerglide as an example, I could have paid about $200.00 more and bought a complete, ready to install trans. However, it would not be personalized, it may or may not incorporate some of the methods to reduce drag that are presented in the Carl Munroe book.

By doing my own building I become "1" with the machine. And that is something I like.

It is not something that suites everyone but if it interest you to learn more and do more I think that is a good thing.

The following photos show;

All this and much more is detailed in the Carl Munroe book.
