Charly, good to see this new project of yours!. I've been away from the site for a long, long time. It's good to come back and see work like yours being done.

Lots of welding.

Some pretty chrome chains but welded solid at the proper angle. I actually had something in mind like the Porsche Whale Tail that would flatten at speed!

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Hey, Chuck.  I had to smile when you mentioned a tailgate.  In the back of my head I see a tailgate open to about 45 degrees or so to make a spoiler.  It would raise eyebrows to have it supported back there at an angle with chains.

That's a slick looking design. Will the tailgate adjust to speed to vary downforce?

Hey, Cliff.  Yes, it is a 1969 VW ball joint front axle with Empi hubs and the only 5 lug pattern available, 5x4.75.  Most everything I have ever built was from parts I had laying around in the shop.

Go Charley, is that a VW front end?

Finally, a Ford in a Ford truck, here is my Y-Block powered1927 Ford Ranchero project.

Hello, fellow Y-Block enthusiasts.  For most of the last year I have been helping a dear friend work on his new Bonneville project.  Unfortunately, He had a serious heart attack and is still trying to make a recovery.  My time is now split between being close to him and continuing to work on my racing projects.  My attention will now be back on the 340 cu. in. turbocharged  Y-Block and putting it in a new "Ford" project car that I have been working on for the last couple of years.  As soon as I have more info on the Y-Block re-assembly, I will post it here.

This covid thing sure has me at a standstill.  I need to get the engine to Tim McMaster down in California, but, travel just isn't in the cards right now and I just want to be there in person, eliminating just shipping it.  Immunization and good weather will make it happen soon I hope.
