Rick Sadler, tell us about that Monster Lemon '67....

[Jim Ratto]

Good to meet you (finally) yesterday, after dealing with you since the JSC days...and my days under Jerry's rule.

Your car looked killer yesterday. I really like the mufflers, presentation of the motor, interior, entire car really.  How big is the motor...94 x 86? Tell us some details of the build, history of the car, engine specs.

I agree Ratto Ricks car is super fine. Please enlighten us Rick.

[Prowagen]

Hey yeah I like this thread I want to know more about Mr Sadler and his cars! How long have you been with Bug Pack/Dee to whats the history?

Regardss,
Rob.

Nicely done car, indeed. Our spy cams were on it, last night.

Sargecam.


Private (or whatever rank is below a Sarge) cam.


Can't wait to see how it does at the track. I'm sure it won't disappoint.

"Private Spycam"...  say, that has a nice ring to it!

Touchè, Sarge.

Is a private spy cam the one hidden in the ladies toilets you were telling me about Sarge 

[Rick Sadler]

First of all, thanks to all of your nice comments (in person and on the forum). The car is a copy (of some sorts) of my original '67 that I had in 1975. Paint is a 1974 VW Rallye Yellow (10A). Engine is 86x94 with an FK87, BUGPACK Street Eliminators 46x38 valves, compression is 12.5 to 1 and it made 227 bhp on Roger Crawford's House of Power Dyno. Tiger at A-1 did the 1-3/4" merged exhaust system that flow through stale air heater boxes and connects to BUGPACK dual qps. Berg 5 Speed 4 wheel disc brakes. I tried to keep it as close as I could to the 70's period with a little upgrade here and there.

OK, "a little upgrade here and there"...., the whole car looks like an upgrade.  Nice job, Rick!

Rick explained, in detail, how the stale-air heater boxes ended up with the larger pipe. VERY cool! Best of the both worlds... like Rick told me, last night; 36hp. fan shroud and heat in the winter. AWESOME!

I can sort of relate with my A-1 bigger than stock fresh-air heater boxes. Well done, Rick. Please keep up us posted on how it does on the track. Outta be really fun.

merged exhaust system that flow through stale air heater boxes

Very cool, I have a set of 40hp stale air boxes for exactly that same purpose.  Any tips or pics are definetly welcome!

Super clean car, by the way.  Kinda reminds me of a '67 I have in mind for some day way, far down the road.
