Burn Out contest

Great pics G-Man!
Speaking for those of us who couldn't make it, "Thanks for sharing."

chris you sure took a lot of nice pic's. thanks for posting them....

still have more......

Nice pics G-Man, good to chat with you again even for a short time. It's too bad we couldn't get all 4 Corvairs out for the early shoot. At least we squeezed John in there. What a great showing of earlies at the Nats this year !

I counted 50. does any one have a good photo of it.?? thanks Dix.

Jim Bulger posted this on on the oldeconolines yahoo group:



Maybe he or somebody has a larger file of the pic.

If those are all earlies, there are 50! (now I gotta' put my shoes back on!)

that was it and all of them did not come down...

Bet there were at least 5 more

I would be interested in a closer photo of this. most of us had to be with our vans...

I am VERY CURIOUS about this picture of what looks like a brilliant cold air induction system. Seen Pics of Ken's vans many times, and chatted with him often online...

KEN, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE, CAN YOU SHARE SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS PLEASE?

I too have seen Ken's van many times and never thought to ask him about this modification. So I did ask him, and here is what he said.

"Morning Billo,
well.....thats just what you see, my air intake system. I had nowhere to put it as you can see how close the throttle body is to the side panel. So I snaked it out the side under the seat and back in under the alternator. From there it does a 90deg turn forward towards the grille where it attaches to the mass air sensor and finally gets topped off with a cone type K&N filter. Works really well, and doesnt have to breath hot under hood heat.
Plus if the time comes to ever put back to original, all that's required would be the RS panel...no holes were cut in the van."

AAhhh those clever Canadians !!!!!

All Ken Hopcraft's work is First Class, He sold it, but he built a very cool 2nd gen Ford with a shelby theme

I THINK HE SOLD THE SHELBY
