Found a San Jose Build Sheet
« on: February 01, 2009, 09:44:12 AM »
I found this original build sheet stuck to the spare tire well in the trunk. It's pretty far gone but parts of it are still readable :read: I'm hoping when I pull up the carpet to get the Pinto ready for racing that it might have another one in better condition under the carpet or stuck in the seat springs somewhere. Anyone else find one in an odd location ???

When I built my last dirt track car I found one folded up and tucked above the windshield area.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

Leonard,

Lets just say it will be licenced and insured for the street ::) I will take it to shows but this thing will be a bear to deal with....not fun on the street :hangover: The engine was purpose built to race. It was made to be stopped only two times a day....the start of the race and the finish. The flywheel Assembly is light weight aluminum. The one disc Tilton race clutch weighs very little also. Combine this with radical cams and a set of carbs that drowned it at low rpm and you can see this will be a white knuckler anytime I'm driving in LA traffic :surprised:
