Looking for 4140 tool steel to make some hub adapters. The adapters are 5.25" diameter x about 2" thick.

I have some coming from eBay for about $80 but won't be here in time to get to my machinist so he can get it back to me before 8/18

Any suggestions?

Good times

Closest I have come to doing that is when I took the family to California and we drove on highway 1 up the coast.

Arrival time for me and the race car are TBD. There is a practice day on Friday if we choose to do that we will be there earlier. Currently targeting practice on 8/24 but that is aggressive there is a lot to do between now and then. If that date is not met we are definitely practicing on 9/6. At the...

Tiresmoker was over last Friday to work on the race car. He brought the Vette down and I had the chance to pilot this machine. Runs strong and the handling is good. Great starting C4 platform. Once we get the Vette race car out we will definitely do some 1/4 mile passes together.

Come April of this year work resumes in prep for Indy. Engine was apart and inspected. Did some work to impr...

Plan change: Not doing the test n tune on 7/28 - will reschedule someplace later in the year.

If you piped a 2" line or two and gave it partial could that help somewhat?

Seems to me that if you want to experiment you could try driving it with the hood off to see if that gets the temps down. In the race car we opened up the hood (mostly to relieve the pressure that builds up under there from airflow through the radiator) but it has the effect of letting hot air from ...

If all goes to plan I will be making laps at Indy at that time!

Keep in mind I have every component of the A/C system except the pump from a low mileage car. Let me know if you need any parts
