Riddler contender pics leaked

fatchuk · ST MARYS, ONTARIO

He seemed a little stressed about the subject when I asked him about what he was going to run......He mumbled something about ditching the Wilwoods for a duster set up????? I don't know what he was talking about....must have been the paint fumes or something...............

Say get him to send a P.M to ..oozaG..I believe he could be of help , I have heard he is pretty up to speed on brake stuff on gassers..He might be willing to offer some advice..I could suggest a fairly large stick on a good sized fulcrum with a piece of biased ply firestone tire nailed to the bottom and if installed at precisely the right length and angle it could work as long as he is tall enough to be able to reach down and change the foot shoe while in motion..he made need one on each side of the wheel..probably a good idea to carry a boat anchor for an emergency brake ..Tell him not to sweat the small stuff...he could use his skirt as a drag shute also as long he is careful not to get his _alls caught in the process.. biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin biggrin

Ridler....not riddler, unless you're talking about cartoons.

Bob T · BRANTFORD, ONT

Knowing Glen it is the Riddler. LOL

Gazoo · BADEN, ONT

I'm using a kugel 90* setup, mounted under dash set up. With a 7" diaphragm booster and a 1.00" bore master cylinder, on my '38 Dodge project.
At the wheels, so far...the front are 11" rotors (GM), mounted on Horton's caliper brackets, with Corvette calipers, the rear, I've not decide yet. I might just stick with the drums that are on the 9" Ford, as most disc brake conversion with widen my track, and I'm already tight. And I'm not so concerned about stopping, because it won't be fast, no small block Chevy's for me.

^^^ the booster and lines are away from the heat (expansion), so I'm not concerned (like I was in the first place).

It also helps keep the firewall clean. Hard to teach old Cats new tricks.

But If "The Cat" really would like something like the 340 Duster's set up, with a Kelsey Hayes 4 piston caliper set up.

Kelsey Hayes made a 4 piston caliper disc brake set up for Mustang GT's, Boss and Shelby's, that'll fit a lot better, and keep it period correct. biggrin

Seems to me like he has other issues...besides brakes. He simply just doesn't know when to stop.

The body work looks great by the way.

Hope this helps...

Edit: I wouldn't be too concerned about paint fumes effect, unless he suddenly develops a twitch. wink

I am in love
always wanted to build a 63-64 comet

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

There's a Comet sitting at the side of the road out here, at the end of someone's driveway. Been there for a few years now. It's in nice shape, just sitting there going bad.

slim · DUNDAS, ONT

Nice work Rich and good on you for helping out. Rumour has it Glenn is naming this one GAS/WHO any truth to it.....

slab · BRANT COUNTY, ONT

Sorry Slim I can't speak to that question but I do know it is a gasser!! Don't know of any WHO classes in racing??

Thanks positive comment.
Glen and I work pretty well together except for the Hoist height!!!! LOL

Seeker1056 · DOURO, ONT

it just occurred to me - there is one heck of a pile of work to do on this with only one hundred or so days to go

either you are very young or retired to have that kind of time and effort at your disposal

whats going in it for a motor/tranny/interior?

what color(s)?

Again..this is The Cats project so I can't speak for him. I do know he has a dyno'd 400hp engine with fender well headers and auto trans. I believe it is a stock interior but with the "gasser" theme with no back seat(I'm guessing) paint will be completely crazy in true 60"s style . Glen is not retired and (sorry Glen) but not really young, although young at heart and spirit.

And that's all I'll say about that.

Cat in the Hat · BRANTFORD, ONT

Im not young. Im motivated

I will not be posting the build here

The last one turned into a mess due to a few

Ace in the holes

If rich decides to slip more pics out

Thats up to him

The paint and car unveiling will be at the christmas party

If your interested enough to come pm me for details

Last year i had 95 people at the shop

We have a few surprises for this year to make it even better

Seeker1056 · DOURO, ONT

wow - unveiled at Xmas - so less than 30 days to completion - that is seriously motivated and a whole lot more energy than I can seem to find these days... smiles

hotroddonnie · BARRIE, ONT

Donny. If mine ends up looking HALF as good as yours

I will be happy

You have set the bar high

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

Looking good.
I like the lettering, etc.

We need a better picture of the lace work behind the lettering.

wolfman1 · ST GEORGE, ONT

Lettering looks incredible Glenn, wow what a difference.
Almost a shame to cover the lace work but Danno has really done a great job

Cat in the Hat · BRANTFORD, ONT

I bought the lace at lens mill

$12 from the bargain bin

i didnt want the doily stuff. I like it

Enough to do 2-3 cars

entourageguy · BARRIE, ONT

oh my!

Beautiful work Glenn, can't wait to see the whole car.

hotroddonnie · BARRIE, ONT

Glenn will you still be going to Detroit with the car, I know that was your plan?

Cat in the Hat · BRANTFORD, ONT

Yup...even if I have to bolt parts on while im bringing it in.....

The ELTA is going to have a great display....at least 3-4 gassers....3-4 drag cars.....and 3-4 great rods

Downstairs right when you get off the escalator....

If you havent been to the show...its amazing

and the world famous ELTA couch will be making a return appearance I hear

We'll just hit Len's Mills for some sweet vintage shag carpet for the floor and a roll of material for the headliner......"it's all goooood Glenn"

slab · BRANT COUNTY, ONT

I wonder how much different a 66 Chevy II sedan headliner is?? I have one in stock. Just happens to be white(ish) not sure the exact name of it. LOL It had bows but the separation between maybe a lot different. Just throwing it out there. Maybe someone knows the answer. Probably wouldn't work. It'd be like putting a Chevy motor into a Ford! LOL

Cat in the Hat · BRANTFORD, ONT

Thanks for the offer Rich but its a F F F FORD

I dont think they would be close

wolfman1 · ST GEORGE, ONT

Did you check with Dave's Falcon Parts in Innisfil ?

hotroddonnie · BARRIE, ONT
