Are "t" handle shifters allowed? like hurst shifters? i don't see why not....they were around pre-70. by the way, i pretty much eliminated any confusion hopefully about shifters....it's a small part and should not be something to delete a whole model that is traditional....so SHIFT ON! ;D

I have a bunch of old Hot Rod magazines from the mid sixties with large Hurst T-shifter ads, so its definitely pre-69 stuff...

when did Weiand hit the market anyone know............ I got some Weiand bold letter valve covers i wanna use in a kit are they out of the AMT '66 Nova pro street kit? hopefully this helps The Weiand company was founded by Phil Weiand as "Performance Parts Warehouse" in 1930 and sold a varienty of speed parts. The first Weiand product, the "High Weiand Manifold" was manufactured and marketed in 1940 and it was the first aluminum intake on the market. In 1949 Weiand introduced a series of "tri-power" and four 2-barrel manifolds and imediatly after WWII Weiand debuted a line of aluminum cylinder heads for flathead Ford engines. The famous "Drag Star" line of "log" manifolds for Hemi engines was introduced in 1952 and in 1957 Weiand developed complete blower drives for the GMC 6-71 supercharger. The first dual plane, 180º intake came from Weiand in 1965 as the "Colt" and in 1968 Weiand introduced the "Hi-Ram Manifold" and the patented D-port technology. The popular "X-terminator" single plane manifold series was launched in 1972 and the high performance aluminum water pumps were made by Weiand the following year. "X-CELerator", a series of performance single plane intakes was developed in 1974. The first models of the famous "Team G" series of 360º racing manifolds were introduced in 1978. A year later Weiand's "Action" series of high performance replacement manifolds debuted. Weiand became the first OE supplier of superchargers to Mercury Performance Marine in 1990, and over the next three years the "Stealth" series of high performance dual plane manifolds was designed, the "Pro-Street" supercharger was certified "emissions legal" by CARB and Weiand recieved the industry's first "E.O." for an intake manifold. Weiand developes the 8-71 supercharger for Small Block and Big Block Chevy in 1996 and Weiand released the first aluminum LS-1 intake manifold in 2002.

hell i dont know what it is but hell it DOES look mighty koool.......lets see more pics of that one, in the "on the bench" section The idea is a 'truckster'. The concept came out a couple of years ago...but it definitely fits the 'spirit' of traditional. I had started a 53 cab with a duvall windshield but set it aside... Charles

I'm working on my own version of the "Ala Kart" is the air bag suspension trak-able? yeah air bags are ok, but not letting them show is best idea. there was some back in the day, but on factory cars ....so it really doesn't matter cuz i am sure people took them off stock vehicles and modified them for other cars. as long as the vehicle is trak-able....air ride is ok.

I can't remember the exact year the real Ala Kart was completed, but I recall seeing pictures of similar suspension setups in early 60's issues of magazines like Popular Hot Rodding. I don't think they were very commonly used, but they were certainly around before '69
