what transmission is in that? shifting like crazy and waving at the fans.

I belive it is a Swedish built sequentinal 5 speed box. Pull back to shift up, push forward to
shift down
Thats about the only trick part on the car. Still the stock suspension designed during WWII.
Rear suspension is more or less like a 40s Buick,or like what they use in NASCAR.front suspension
is an ordinary 40s kingpin ifs.  Better springs and shocks though. Required to run the stock block
so it is a B18, 109 cuinch

I have always enjoyed watching this type of racing with older vehicles...even when the vehicles were not so old.

I am amazed, however, at how damaged the vehicles get even when the racing is relatively clean and trouble free.

I also wonder how many vehicles get destroyed during the learning curve as new racers gain experience. Lots of cars folded up and torn apart.

Well narrow gravel roads high speed, you just kiss a boulder that have been there since the ice age. It refuse to move so the sheetmetal
have to surender

Last winter i straightened a Volvo 940 that a fresh driver crashed during a race. Next weekend he crashed at the same spot,
And with his gained experience from the last race he had  higher speed .So this time he mangled both quarterpanels at the same
spots but harder, bent the framerail more, and landed on the roof. It was totaled



 

Model 94 will always be a favorite of mine

I like them to, i had a 94 Carbine but sold it monday to be able to get permit for this 94
Max four guns for hunting and not two of the same caliber in Sweden
it have the heavy octagon full lenght barrel, it is a good shoting gun
The mauser is a MS 410B Luxury in 22lr,  sporterized version of the downsized kar98 training rifle.
Serialnr starts with a 2 that tells it is made for the German market,4 is export also only have German proof marks.
Wounder how it ended up in Sweden and in mint condition
I had to sell my Anshutz 1416 to get the permit but the Mauser is as good shooter as the anshutz

I went home friday morning, When i travel i try to chose backroads before the big main higways
that way you get to se more of the counbtryside.
Anyway i followed some small roads on a road map (you guys remember those?)
that was in the glovecompartment and ended up in a military exercise field
I knew there had been in the past but was terminated, but obviously was retaken by the army
So there i was running with a lot, and i mean a lot of tanks when the Military police stoped me and asked
where i was going. I thanked the officer for protecting my country and told him i had no idea they where back
He let the tanks pass by and showed me a shortcut out of the area saluted me and sent me on my way
I went by and picked up a Daimler (Jaguar) frontend for the 36 Coupe, then i went to Stockholm to my friend Ollie.
He had made dinner so we ate and had a few beers.
Next day we went to his Garage,they are a bunch of guys that rents part of the parking garage under an
apartment building and and bought equpment like welders,lathe,mill,and such together

Ollies Garage neighbours -65 Dart




Ollies rear suspension mocked up



Front mockup



Darts new 8.2 inch Ford block, Ollie going to build for another garage neighbours 64 Falcon




A slightly modified Nova



I could have spent a long time taking photos in that garage but i had to continue my travel home.
Went by another friend in Uppsala that have a 46 ford coupe custom and a 30 tudor and a 61 olds 88
but camera was full so no pics from there.
Arrived home 10.00 at night mothers Mercedes performed well
used no oil,  averaged 19 mpg

There's only one head that will bolt up using all the bolt holes on the World block and it's not a head to write home about. 

Cooling has never been an issue, so I can't really say that the bigger holes are a plus. 

One thing I don't like about the FRPP block is that the caps aren't billet and the bolts are just regular bolts (not like ARP).   Now granted, I've made 800 hp with the 9.200" deck BOSS block, so it must not be an issue, but it just doesn't look as professional as the Dart and World blocks. 

FWIW, I haven't seen a Dart block in so long, I've forgotten what they look like.  They haven't been available in about 2 years.

On my way home now and i stopped over in Stockholm at may friend Ollie. He had just recieved a new Dart block out of the new castings
it was a beauty with realy thick cyl walls.But he have waited one and a half year. Got pics i can download tomorrow

Thank you guys for the kind words.

Well....Bill we went to the Countess boutique
the other day. It is situated in a "house" they built
for a widow countess to get rid of her from the nearby
castle. Just something "small" for her and her servants
and livestock and horses. Four houses in a square with
a portal  through to the inner yard. The owner allowed me to
drive in to the yard and take a picture



 where they sell hats, and other
accessories a countess needs. Like chandeliers





couches, ridingcrops , beds, pillows,some more
pillows, spurs, handbags furniture and such. My favourite shop beacuse
they got couches with a lot of pillows so i build myself a nest where i
hibernate while wife shop hats and pillows . And now and then have
to give my opinion about the collour on a pillow and if it match whatever,,
Eventhough i have told my interest in pillows equals my interest in saletax
