It's a darned good site that I re-posted as the last I looked at it (3 years ago?) a lot of new pics and stories have been added.

Enjoy!

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Total NHRA B.S.! Any engine make in Pro Stock.
« on: June 04, 2019, 03:59:04 PM »
Wow, in late 2017, those idiots at NHRA changed the rules that have been in effect since the very beginning of the class. Now, any engine make can be used in any body. Well, the first of these abortions made its 2019 debut at the Route 66 Nationals in Joliet, IL as Elite Motorsports fielded a BBC powered 2018 Ford Mustang.

The shame of it all! Only Chevies have won the title since 2012 (last time was a Mopar) and now many have already said they'd dump their Chevy bodies for the more aerodynamic Mustang.  The horror! All those great Ford Pro Stock winners must be ashamed these days.

I guess it was inevitable as the NHRA's staff has messed up so much of this once fine sport. Outlawing Ford's 385 series block due to bore spacing in Top Fuel and Funny Car. The 1,000' rule. Unnecessary rules for lower class cars. No money payouts for all but the Pro Classes. And now this final slap in the face.

No more NHRA for me. No sir! Eff-em all!

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Trim help. Have new SS sill plates for my '70 Mach 1 but how do I.....
« on: May 28, 2019, 12:14:11 PM »
attach the OEM style "Ford" Blue Oval insignia plates? They are about 3" x 1" and have the OEM yellow-looking, double-sided tape (think it's tape!) with a pull-off liner. But since they are so old, the tape is barely sticky.

Any ideas on how to cement them on? Maybe some silicone? Gorilla glue? New double-sided tape?

FE Technical Forum / FE'er from the old Forum needs clutch lever/throw-out bearing help.
« on: May 24, 2019, 08:15:41 AM »
A fellow over on the old (new?) FE Forum has a question none of us seem to be able to answer. His new throw out bearing oddly doesn't fit well on his OEM lever.

If you guys can shed any light, I'd be glad to pass it along.

Hey, with all the posts on miniature locomotives, I thought this would be a great one to copy in miniature.
