Should be over towards the end of April to go testing with the new-look Hunsaker & Fleming Super Street car, ready for Bug-In in May... Beers are on you! Cheesy

COOL! Contact us usual suspects when you're in town, please. Also... last time that you and I were hangin' out, I noted that you were swilling some sort of U.S. mains(urine)stream weak sauce liquid that was desperately attempting to pose as bier. If that's you're choice, then you've got it. Cheaper for me. HAHAHA!!!

Just kiddin', Keith. Name the brand, and I'll make sure that you have a few.

Thanks, guys!  The old exhaust flat wore out, so it was time for a change.  As Dave pointed out, the traction bar had to be spaced down to clear the new pipes.  Tiger did the work at A-1 yesterday after an "exciting" drive to work in rush-hour traffic.  As (my rotten Roll Eyes) luck would have it, a motorcyclist went down on the freeway and traffic was at a stand-still for a couple of miles Angry.  Glad I got the clutch cable fixed a few weeks back!  The car sounds great Shocked though I did pull the traction bar off when I got home... not sure if I like the looks of it an inch closer to the ground Undecided.


what's the the pros of this clamp style flange,in comparison to the bolt stly flange?


Two less fasteners to f#@k with??  It's the new rage, baby! Cool Cool Cool Wink

Sarge, I had to do a simular thing with my sidewinder with the traction bar, This is what i came up with. Its the rubber mounted version from bergs.

Looks like we need to fill some cutouts, now!
Could get a job-lot price for doing the turn signals at the same time.

That looks good to me... and less noise, too.  Thanks for the tip.

I got Keith's new book in the mail on Saturday, and was I shocked... I wasn't expecting it until at least Wednesday of this week, so I was pleased as punch! Grin  Not bad considering I ordered a week earlier from www.amazon.com.uk.  On top of that I still saved two bucks from the listed U.S. retail price!

I've read about two thirds of it, and I gotta say it's awesome.  I really like the historical perspective of the times that's included in the chapters.  Really great reading that I'll enjoy again and again.  If I get to head to Bug In 34 this year, I'll have to try and remember to bring it to get it signed...awesome work, Keith, kudos!
