Glen sent this to me yesterday - and here's the first batch of photos of this tasty-looking car he's built. Here's his email:
'Jon
These build photos are from Anthony Young one of the forum members and he would like the photos attached to the build diaries. My computer is screwed up and I just installed a new wireless router and working with the mfg. to get it working. Can you please post them for him. He will be joining us soon on the chat etc. This is a really nice rear engine roadster. BTW he is not new to this and worked with Al Teague on his stuff.
Thanks
Glen"

Like a 1927 T-Roadster. Jon has a few more pictures to post. Anthony has been around a while and races at the dry lakes. He rebuilt Al Teagues roadster #76 and also drove it to 220 mph. That car is now in a private museum in Salt Lake. Anthony has 4 early hemi's for the car.As he works nights he can't really get on the chat line.

Oh come on Glen, I know you saw the :evil: I was stiring the RMR/lakester pot :evil:
It is an outstanding looking car, even if it is a roadster.... :-o I suspect with its heritage we will see some great numbers.

Very impressive! Did he do the chassis?

He built the chassis

Glen, looked at the details after the chat last night. I overlooked the drivers firebottle first time around.
-
Anthony is a great man and one of my favorite drivers. Can't wait to see it go , he has worked long and hard on this project. And it shows!

I hope his hi-dollar ISP helmet pads pass the new SCTA helmet support rules [mine don't]

Why not ? When helmet is in there should be less than 2" per side movement including deflection ??
JL222 what is not legal there ? or on yours ?

Anthony and Glen --
I've sort of lost track of where I dropped off when posting the last batch of photos, so maybe I've missed one (or more), maybe there's a duplicate here. Let me know - or send me some more if you'd like me to post them. I'm storing them up on photobucket (the Seldom Seen Slim Bonneville 2010 folder) if any of youse guys want to see all of the pics from this past SW.

Oh, crap -- I think I got lost during that little session of swapping photos around, including maybe I deleted some when moving them from one album to another on Photobucket. Anthony or Glen -- let me know which ones just disappeeared (if you can figure it out) and I'll put 'em back. To the rest of you: Let this be a lesson to you -- that you shouldn't believe in the omnipotence of the guy that owns the website. I'm just a racer that types really fast, okay?

Ah, for instance, here's a nice close up and a few others, again of which some might be dupes:

And here's a photo of the culprit that's responsible for the car (I think this is Anthony):

Hopefully Anthony's is OK but mine, as his, tapers towards the front were there is no longer 2'' side to side but less.
I can fix mine by mounting it foward more and mikeymouseing it in and giving me less room to get out.
-
What type of tranmission is that. I'm sure I should know but I don't.
Thanks Rick

quick change 2 speed doug nash

Welcome, Anthony. I hope you'll find time to visit this site and the Forum as time goes by - and you do more work on the car. We'll always look forward to seeing the photos -- and of course, to seeing it and you on the salt.
-
Good looking car Anthony, please keep the info and pictures coming!
-
on side clearance is approx .750 thruout the isp padding per side, the aluminum that isp sent me for the top i could not use, i had to make my own due to that my cage being deep for extra protection ,your helmet is way into the cage thanks anthony
-
that picture is of my freind mike diaz he helped me with the car ,the race car will be the fogliadini ,diaz and young entry .more pictures to follow as the car is complete with body
-
Anthony, It's a great looking car! You've done a great job! I can't wait to see it on the salt! :cheers:

quick change 2 speed doug nash
Anthony ...does Doug Nash make a bigger input shaft than the stock chev. We twisted one and twisted the replacement in two. Thats when we went to the Owens with overdrive and bigger shaft. We never had a problem otherwise. The gears looked brand new with no metal in oil and no problem with quick change gears,
JL222
-
i do not know for sure, but i dought that this style of trans comes with a larger dia shaft, i bought this trans from john rank , he used it in his modified he went to a 4 or 5 speed i know that everything was coated incl the gears. the first time that i have an issue with this trans i will put a lenco or owens most likely an owens ,lets see if it will pull a gear under a load ,also we can always make a larger dia shaft we will see thanks anthony
-
can't wait to hear that baby pulling hard on the big end--you guys are in for some fun times :cheers:
-
Anthony, bitchen car man cant wait see you make a pass at elmo. what about a 270 pass?? :-o

Owens might be able to make a bigger shaft if you have problems, its nice to have the quick change gears to get the gearing
above 2.5 to 1. and what ever gearing you need. One Owens unit [2 speed] with overdrive measures 13'' front of case to bearing support end + 31/2'' output shaft which can be shortened. If you need a spare doug nash, I have one with a shortened input shaft :-D
Also the Owens overdrive doesn't shift its always in overdrive.

Doug Nash is out of business. As I recall Richmond Gear now makes some of the old Doug Nash products.

Anthony sent these along while I was downstairs in the tanning bed. Here's the batch of photos:

:wink: all joking aside, very nice build

Very nice rear engine roadster Anthony, I was wondering about the new 65% rule that states;
In addition to the general category requirements, cars in this class shall have a production or an exact replica of a roadster body as produced between 1923 and 1938. The combined body area covered or altered by the headrest fairing, all parachute fairings, and any other allowed body protuberances or displacements, from the original cockpit opening to the rear of the car cannot exceed 65%, as measured in a horizontal plane from the top view.
I'm not trying to stir anything up it's just an observation. I'm not sure I fully understand the rule.
Rick
-
Just a guess, but based on my observation of the pics, I'll wager that Anthony's pretty much right on the money as far as being in compliance with that new rule. :evil: :-D Funny how our design wasn't allowed to be run (for record qual. or record run) the past 2 years although this rule wasn't in the book then. It covered approx. 95%. No biggie, we set a pretty stout record anyway ( #325 D/GRMR 243.618, exit 244.721. You know, the one Tom G. and Pat K like so much :evil:) :-D Anthony, I really like your car and hope y'all kick a**. vic
-
Anthony, VERY cool build!
-
FYI, this car has already been thru tech. It will be used at the next inspectors meeting as well prior to any events in 2011. Anthony has worked very close with SCTA during the build.
:cheers:
-
I seen the chassis number sticker in one of the pictures. I'm glad it's OK, answers my worries.
-
Here are a couple of more photos. The group standing behind the roadster, Manual Flores, Anthony's wife Mary and Anthony.
-
Found a few more build photos with some engineering details.
-
Anthony, thanks for sharing, I do have a couple questions for you.
1. What steering box is that?
2. What are the tubing specs on the front axle and frame tubes?
Thanks, Trent
-
it has a vega steering box ,bottom frame rails are 4x2 rectangular .188 wall, and the upper frame rails are 2.0 od .188 wall and the front axle is made with 2.0 od .250 wall ,we also made the push bar mount cross bar also 2.0 od .250 wall , anthony
-
Thanks Anthony! I thought the round tube members looked stout. Nice work.
-
This should bring the number of Miler competitors for 2011 up to three!! Beautiful car nonetheless.
-
Did this car run at Elmo? How did it do?
-
Trent - http://www.scta-bni.org/El%20Mirage/ELM%2011/ELM_Results11.htm vic
-
It was there but did not run, haven't heard from Anthony yet.
-
Thanks krusty and Glen!
PS Glen, notice Anthony answered my tubing question that I posed on Tueday way back in Jan!?!!? Found it when I remembered this thread!
-
sorry for the late post on el mirage ,i lost a head chamber on #1 head i had too much fuel in that cylinder ,it should have been backed off more ,anyways i am changeing some of my fuel system as we speak and making another cylinder head plus another pair for backups the car passed tech with flying colors and i did my bailout no problems , iwill be back for the july meet ,people would ask me why are you so calm about it , i would tell them this is racing things do happen , ihave blown alot of engines thru the years, i guess you just have to expect it , glen thanks for your support anthony
-
Thanks for the update Anthony. For those of us in the Middle of the country, threads like this keep us going when we cant make Elmo or ECTA events like folks on the coasts!
-
that thing looks great Anthony! I would have liked to see her run.
