+1 on it pays the bills and rc hobby addiction. I try to sell rc stuff I hord to buy more. But eventually I run out of saved stuff to sell and need to restock lol. Selling stuff to buy stuff keeps me out of the dog house with old lady. Heck it's almost easier to sell the rc stuff than it is to sell engine parts or other performance automotive parts.

Well she's all ready for the weekend now. I'll be going back over her and putting her back in her spot Monday when I come back.
I hope to cut out early today to go pay bills after work and pick up the paint I ordered for my boat. Maybe I'll paint that this weekend.Land, Sea & Air, A true RC Addict.Comment

392? I thought they made a smaller hemi around 330" made in the 40's or 50's.Comment

Yeah I think your right Larry. It's a 332 or something like that. I'm not a hemi guy but I used to work at a machine shop with a few. Only way I know on these is to look at the numbers stamped on the top of the block. But it's covered up by intake and valley pan. Not an easy ID.
Cars a 53 Cunningham. What a beast.
I can get her to crank and the fuel system is working now. But seems like there's no spark. Might be next weeks project.Land, Sea & Air, A true RC Addict.Comment

I've been wondering why I had so many speakers. So I decided to build another pair. Finalizing the crossovers now. These sound so much better than the "store" bought ones. Cost...less than $200.00 in parts.Government Moto:

this is what i've been doing for the past 3 days, it's harder to get it running perfectly than you'd think!
the motor is one i got from my grandfather, from one of those "mekanix" kits, the ones that are plastic these days.
I took the motor apart and apart from the low level of technology, i'd say the motor is more quality built than most modern brushless ones (it's a 120vac)
