Quote from: "37 Express"News from B'ville. On the SCTA site www.scta-bni.org under the speed news header on page 4 of Fridays pictures is a picture of wzjunk and his friend Lloyd "Hooley" Huffman and Lloyd's Studie coupe. wz painted it and did a lot of work on the car. This is Lloyd's first attempt and he turned in a 174 mph speed on Sat.
MOJUNK, WZJUNK's brother reported that Lloyd made a 208 pass today.
Quote from: "WZ JUNK"The complete under floor unit was purchased as a matched set(pedal,booster, and master cylinder). It was built with a direct connection from the pedal to the rod that comes out of the booster with no adjustment at that point. This morning I added a thick rubber stop on the pedal to limit the return of the pedal and it helped a lot but it still has a little to much travel before the brakes engage. The brakes work good, there is just more pedal travel than I would like.
John, Dan brought up a point that you may have already considered. Has the brakes been adjusted. If there is alot of travel for the shoes before they contact the drums you will have too much pedal travel. If that is correct, I suggest that you cut the rod going from booster to the pedal, thread each end and put in a long threaded nut in, this will allow you some adjustment, this is what we did on the '39 to have adjustment for the pedal.
Quote from: "Jimc"T recently traded cars. Picked up this hot rod, which needs a little tender, lovin care to be a fair car.
Interior is not complete. The buckets in it have to go, but I did get emough material with the car to finish the interior.
I also, got fenders, front and rear, and running boards.
The boards and fenders are new and some are still in the wrapping. They will most likely be up for sale.
Enough with the talk, on with the show.
