FLATHEAD JACK'S TWIN ENGINE, NITRO POWERED FLATHEAD DRAGSTER IS HERE!

 

 

181:10 MPH Flathead!

 

 

Photos by Darold   

 

Jack dosen't know it but his treasured nitro powered dragster is now: 

 

The valve caps were the only thing we had in stock
(FOR A DRAGSTER!)......and Jack said

please.....NO dice valve caps! So red-eyed skulls it is. 

 

 

  The dragster runs on 94 percent nitromethane, 6 percent alky and the nitrous system (BLUE BUTTON - see below)
is pushed for the last 3 seconds only!   

The nitrous oxide is what is called a dry system and has only a 12 thousandths nozzle per cylinder, the 3 second burn time gives what is called a 50 shot per engine which is a added 100 H.P. boost through the increased cylinder pressures. Remember flatheads can't breathe, so it's like a blower with out the volume of stuff getting shoved in.  

 

That system is all new and has never been used as yet...  it was my next trick after it had gone as fast as it can without it....... Jack. 

 

 

  Best times were 181:10  and  180:42, best E.T. 7:79

VISITORS at VINTAGE

 

While we are speaking Flathead Ford....we had two very well known Ford Reproduction Parts gentlemen stop by the store last week that know all about flatheads and literally thousands of other Ford parts. 

 

 

Bob Drake (L) with Bob Drake Reproductions came down from Grants Pass Oregon in his 1940 Ford Standard Coupe. Bob was headed up to Lake Tahoe for the Early V8 Club National Meet. 

 

 

Bob checking out the 1932 Ford Cabriolet display.  Bob Drake Reproductions makes over 7000 different high quality Ford parts. No, we NEVER dust the 'patina' off  

the Cabriolet! 

 

 

 

 Bob Drake and Ed Hill in the Diner after the store tour and getting ready to head up the hill to Lake Tahoe in Bob's 1940 Coupe. Yes, we do have Strombergs and intakes on display in our little diner!  

 

 

   

 

On the way back from the National V8 meet at Lake Tahoe, Dennis Carpenter (L) stopped by the store to check
things out.  Dennis is the man behind Dennis Carpenter Ford Reproductions out of Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

Dennis makes over 11,749 different Ford reproduction parts including the Ford Licensed all steel 1940 Coupe body. And it will be available from Sacramento Vintage Ford as well as other sheet metal for the very popular 1940 Ford Coupe. 

 

 

 

Tom, Dennis and Ron Palmer (Sacramento Vintage) go over a few details of one of our wire harnesses.

 

 

Over at the harness braiders.These wrap or 'braid' a cotton loom over the completed wire harnes bundle, just like the originals. Ron explains the process as Dennis, Tom, Janis Carpenter and Cindy listen and take notes.
Yes, there was a test. :)

JAMES HETFIELD'S 'VOODOO PRIEST'

1937 V-12 LINCOLN ZEPHYR
BY RICK DORE KUSTOMS
IS AT SACRAMENTO VINTAGE 



Image courtesy Tim Sutton Photography    

 

'Voodoo Priest' a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr restyled by Rick Dore and his crew at RD Kustoms, for Metallica frontman and Beatniks member James Hetfield of Downey, California. To get hold of a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr is not a easy task. The car once belonged to a fellow in Sacramento which was serving as a soldier in Vietnam. When he returned home in 1972, he literally hopped a train, and was never seen or heard from again. The car rested in his mother's driveway for the next several decades, where it has sat since the late 1960's, until James bought it.

Antioch Muffler was responsible for the chassis work and exhaust. A Mustang II independent front suspension and a Ford 9" rear end was installed along with a RideTech airbag setups and dual exhaust.[1]

Keith Dean, Dick Dean's son lowered the deck lid, reworked the rockers, molded in rear quarter panels from a 1938 Lincoln, leaned the rear edge of the doors forward, added the custom-made taillights, leaned the headlights back, and integrated a canted 1953 Kaiser overrider to the rear.

The stock lower body trim was discarded, and a new set trim was handmade from brass stock. Final preparations on the bodywork and paint was done by Darryl Hollenbeck up at his studio in Concord, California. The Candy Apple was laid over raspberry to achieve that nice deep red. The chrome was done by Sherm's Plating.

Established in 1987, the Pick-n-Pull chain of self-service auto parts stores is one of the largest recyclers of end-of-life vehicles in the industry. You bring your tools, pull the parts you need and SAVE lots of money! Their 48 U.S. and 3 Canadian locations offer a huge a selection of used OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts for cars, vans and light trucks - all makes and models, foreign and domestic - all at incredibly low prices.

Pick-n-Pull is proud of the fact that they recycle more than 350,000 vehicles and service more than 5 million self-service customers each year.



Pick-n-Pull is a subsidiary of Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., a global leader in the metals recycling industry that has been in business for over a century. Although Pick-n-Pull and Schnitzer have worked together since 1989, Pick-n-Pull became a fully owned subsidiary of Schnitzer in 2003 as part of its Auto Parts Business unit. Being part of a Fortune 1000 company has enabled them to grow stronger and introduce cost efficiencies into their system that have allowed them to bring environmental and cost benefits to their customers. At the same time, the Pick-n-Pull stores have retained the regional and local focus that has made them popular with their customers.

With over 1 billion vehicles on the world's roads, the demand for recycled auto parts is stronger than ever.  

 

Self-service auto part yards are an excellent resource for local do-it-yourselfers and mechanics as millions of end-of-life vehicles are processed by these operations every year. However, most parts go unsold because of just that, self-service yards only serve their walk-in customers.  

 

Row52 is changing that. By creating web and mobile tools that connect part seekers with part pullers, Row52 is making more recycled auto parts available to more people.

SURF CITY GARAGE  PRODUCTS

 

   

A little bit about Surf City Garge by Tim Miller:

 

Step into Surf City Garage and you are transported back in time. There before you is a Flying A gas station, just like it was in the 50s. A '68 Shelby GT-500 sits at the pumps.  

 

You walk through the Shelby Showroom past a 22-foot-long neon Buick dealership sign and head toward Corvette Corner. In front of you is a red and white '58 Corvette, the first car I ever restored. Just to your left is my wife's '54 Polo White Corvette. Straight ahead an original Chevrolet Super Service sign signals your entry onto Chevrolet Way, where you're greeted by a '66 turquoise and white Bel Air hardtop. Next, you reach MOPAR Alley on your right, flanked by Pontiac Row on your left.  

 

On the wall is a huge neon Pontiac dealership sign. Looking down, you see a '67 Cameo Ivory GTO Coupe. You're now at the other end of our garage and you enter a complete restoration shop. Here expert craftsmen maintain our collection and restore new acquisitions. Professional detailers clean and wax over a mile of 60's chrome. When you have over 100 vintage muscle cars, the work never stops.

So where did Surf City Garage detailing products come from? Well, to keep the cars looking great, we tried every car care product around, but I just wasn't satisfied with the quality or performance. So we developed our own complete line of Enthusiast GradeŪ detailing products -- recognized around the world as the best anyone can buy. Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.  

 

That's why, every day, more and more enthusiasts are switching to Surf City Garage Enthusiast GradeŪ - because nothing else even comes close.

SHEEPHERDER  BAR AND GRILLE 

 

 

The Citrus Inn opened in 1913
in this very building on Folsom Boulevard. Citrus was sold in front of the building to everyone that passed by on busy Folsom Boulevard.

Folsom Boulevard was a main thoroughfare for the gold rush in the mid 1800s. Many immigrants and forty-niners were in search of some of the gold that James W Marshall and John Sutter found in the American River. The railroads that are still visible across the street today were the same railroads that were constructed in the late 1800s.

Rumor has it that over the years The Citrus Inn became many different businesses, including The Edwards Hotel, and at one point, a brothel. Everyone came to the building to eat good food and to have a good time. There was drinking and dancing 'til late at night.

Later, the building became known as Sheepherder Inn. It was a place for Basque sheepherders to come and rest upstairs in the Inn and enjoy a hearty meal downstairs, which probably consisted of meats, fish, lamb stews, legumes, cheeses and Basque cider.

A cowboy, who is visiting Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time." The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona , the other is in Colorado When we all left our home in Texas , we
promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife
and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."

"Hasn't affected my brothers though."

        

FLOWMASTER MUFFLER   

 
In 1983 California Sprint Car racers were experiencing 'excessive sound' issues at numerous race tracks and were told to quiet the cars down or lose racing privileges. All attempts to silence the race engines without sacrificing power repeatedly failed.

Enter Flowmaster founder, Ray Flugger, with over 45+ years of exhaust design experience, and while working out of a small 800 square foot barn in Kenwood, California, created Flowmaster's first patented design of racing silencers. Ray attached handles to ease carrying the square shaped race mufflers through the race pits, and the mufflers became known as the "suitcase muffler." Today, these innovative Flowmaster mufflers are the result of years of development with top race engine builders, thousands of hours of dyno research and "real-world" on-track testing

Flowmaster's product line includes exhaust products for Performance Street, Muscle Cars, Trucks, Street Rods, RV's, Motorhomes, and all types of race applications. With over 400 different muffler models, 370+ exhaust systems and numerous exhaust accessories available, Flowmaster offers you the choice of sound to fit your preference from "wild to mild" and your specific vehicle needs.

JULY 12, 2013


The U.S. Senate has passed Senate Resolution 176 (S. Res. 176), which designates July 12, 2013 as "Collector Car Appreciation Day," an annual event to celebrate and raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society.

The resolution was requested by SEMA and its Automotive Restoration Market Organization (ARMO) and Hot Rod Industry Alliance (HRIA) Councils. The date marks the fourth commemoration of the event, according to SEMA.

"We again thank the U.S. Senate for the continuing recognition of the collector car hobby as a strong American tradition and pastime," said Steve McDonald, SEMA vice president of government affairs. "With Australia and Canada joining the mix, Collector Car Appreciation Day has now become an international recognition of the collector car industry and the millions of hobbyists it supports.

A man went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded rural area of the state he lived in. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast for him consisting of eggs and bacon. He noticed a film like substance on his plate and he questioned his grandfather...."are these plates clean?" His grandfather replied, "Those plates are as clean as cold water can get them, so go on and finish your meal".

That afternoon, while eating the hamburgers his grandfather made for lunch, he noticed tiny specks around the edge of his plate, and a substance that looked like dried egg yokes. ... so he ask again,
"Are you sure these plates are clean. Without looking up from his hamburger, the grandfather says, "I told you before; those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't ask me about it anymore.

Later that afternoon, he was on his way out to get dinner in a nearby town. As he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl and wouldn't let him pass so he said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me out." Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV his grandfather shouted, ... "COLDWATER, Go lay down!
