     The Antique Ford, which they say is in the city
     of Sacramento. However, it is really Rancho-
     Cordova California, where all the auto shops
     are. I would advise you to sign up for the
     Antique Ford Newsletter to your email 
     address.
     They cover custom cars, pictures, video, also
     shows, but also tell you when they have swap
     meets. It was here they had The California Kid
     and other customs. Want flamed tall inflatable
     chairs to sit in, or 1/18 Hot Wheels Tom Daniel
     die cast models, and more goodies for your hot
     rod? Then come buy from them, either mail

ABC Hot Rod Willy's Movie Made 1979

                          ABC Hot Rod Willys Movie Made 1979
       I remember watching ABC movie, that  was called Hot Rod
   a movie about drag racing a primered grey 1941 Willys.
   There were also five spoke mags on the rear.
   There is also a car show of nostalgia of dragsters that looked
    like coming out of a 1960's time capsule.
       The movie  towards the end drags against the Oldsmobile
  Cutlass  Supreme with two four barrel carburetors and two 
  velocity stacks. The Willys has a Hemi that came out of a '65 
  Belvedere and two four barrels. The rear mags are noticeable
 American Racing 200S Five Spoke Mags Unfinished type. Two
 stock steel wheels in front painted factory black. When he
 races against the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, he now has a
 671-GMC blower with three a injector scoop.

      There is pretty lady dragging a primer
  gray '41 Willys, and one Stone, Woods & Cook
  '41 Willys. Enjoy These videos.

     engine is red,and the dash board is gold.It seems
     everything else is not painted.Here are the pictures.
     Also I notice parts of the roll bar is painted gold.
    Unlike Eliminator I ,this Funny Car,doesn't had a
    tilting body,but is,like a stock car,made into a 
    factory funny car.It doesn't have a full tubular
    frame is Eliminator I.To me this more like a drag
    car,then a true Funny Car.This has a front tune
    clip frame.Anyway it is cool,and a very important
    part of history. 
          In 1967 Mercury Cougar STP Funny Car was
    Dyno Don's next Funny Car.It was the new car to
    unveil to the public.Let check my files,and I show 
    amt's model of that car too.  That last set of cool
    decal's by looking at the picture are,from the real
    car.Why,they are too big,and are on Ebay too.
   Also,it is great to know this as amt's model kit has
   Eliminator II in gold,and the others in white.This 
   is not correct,as you see with model,also all the
   decals are gold.To use these digital decal pictures,
   have two things,a colored ink jet printer,and buy
   decal sheets from a online office supply store,or
   a company you know,that still carries decal sheets
   that work with a ink jet printer.Have fun.I here to
   share my results,and entertain you at the same 
  time.

Dyno Don's Eliminator 1 1966 Mercy Comet Cyclone Funny Car

                             Dyno Don's Eliminator 1 1966
                       Mercury Comet Cyclone Funny Car
       The whole idea was to make a sleeper against those other
    pro drag racers in their funny cars. In Fraiser Michigan they 
    went to Ron and Gene Logghe, those brothers would build a
    1966 Mercury Comet Funny Car Dyno Don's Eliminator 1.  
    They started with 11 1/2-inch x.049-inch wall chrome-moly
    main tubes. This supplementary 3/4-inch x.030-inch wall 
    pieces with1 1/4-inch x.030-inch wall square spreaders.
    1 7/8-inch x.125 wall roll cage. Everything was simplified. It
    had a straight 2 1/8-inch heat-treated chrome moly front
    axle(125-inch) wall fabricated. A pair of Logghe spindles
    added. Four parallel 3/4-inch radius rods position the needed
    Auto lite coil-shocks to suspend it in place. The drag link and
    tie rods are of the same metal and design for Ford I-beam 
    axle to provide proper Ackerman. A Watts link is to position
    rear-end, the duty Merc with shortened tubes keep the slicks
    inside the body. The Daytona rear-end 1/2-inch square tubes
    composed traction truss. Daytona-hybrid features nodular
    castings with regular grey iron. The differential been fitted
    with a Detroit Automotive rachet-locking device. The third 
    member assembly embodies larger carrier bearings for the 
    beating it takes. Auto lite shocks are similar to the front,
    and they have a high resistance jounce control and also low
    resistance rebound. This aids in weight transfer since there 
    is no ballast hanging behind the rear axle. Traction bars are
    truss type fabricated from 1 1/4-inch square with .100 inch
    wall. The shorten axle halves are shorten heavy-duty units
    with experimental Kelsey-Hayes Research and Development
    vented brake rotors(discs) fastened to the flanges.
    A Dye-pack facing, sprayed on this specialty prepared
    aluminum rotor then baked to form a bond with the metal.
    Mustang-type calipers and beefed-up castings, dual pistons
    with 11 square inches brake linings per wheel. The chute is
    a Deist cross form for stopping. Dyno Don will take hold of
   the wood rimmed Covieo steering wheel. A small steering box
   by P&S with 9.1 ratio to the Good Year nylon 2-ply-tires, and
   Hilbrand's. The Girling designed master cylinder, he will use
   the Kelsey-Hayes break handle to help it to a sudden stop.
   The Hurst positive shifter T-10 aluminum 4 speed ratios 2.20,
   a box exchange experimental 2 speed automatic, and also the
   Ford 4 speed by swapping tube cross members. A aluminum
   clutch pedal and mechanical linkage work long dual disc 
   brakes, and has two 11-inch discs. The pressure plate coil
   spring carries 1600 max load. Long flywheel is nodular
   iron work with disc and organic face. Micky Thompson
   invented the overhead cam 427 SOHC Hemi engine. But 

   their own designer from Lincoln Mercury brought this engine
   out especially for this car. Mallory supplies the spark for
   this car. Kays Industries Detroit Headers fabricated them
   from stainless steel. The runners are 32 inches long. They
   gather in 4-inch diameter 12-inch collectors. Plastigage
   Corporation Detroit Michigan used an engineering style
   to make the mold. The complete body weighs only 250
   pounds. It has 1/8-inch side windows, 3/16-inch windshield,
   and back light is installed. 5 glass-plywood bulkheads are 
   for strength 1/2 inch.x.20-inch steel tubes for stiffening.
   Entrance through driver side window. Since the cars use
   non-flex-i- wall M&H slicks10.00x15 rely on low weight
   to get through the gate. The chassis and engine weight is
   1380 pounds. Isn't this pretty funny car. The idea was to
   build a car, and just by looking at it would appear stock.
   You are in for a ride if This Secret Weapon is let loose on
   the strip. This is one beautiful cool Pearl Tangerine was 
   painted by Paul Shedlik, in Talor Michigan. This Secret 
   Weapon Eliminator 1 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone. 
   No wonder why they called it The Eliminator 1. It has 
   Hemi sports Crane Cams, M/T pistons used with Dykes
   type Power-Loc rings, Hilborn injection. The car weighs 
   1600 pounds, which will do 175 MPH with no computers.

   The Halibrand mags go nicely with the rear slicks, 

   as the pro Dyno Don drags with team of drag racers, with

   three other Mercury Comet Cyclones, and roadster version.
   with a blower, that goes quicker than this car. Still for the
   unblown class, this was made for its intended purpose, as
   this secret weapon plows to the finish line.
