The only differance is mine will take a while between me a several friends :) thats the only way to do things today otherwise not many could continue to afford it.

I got the blocks from supernova, they are just 1" thick aluminum. Drilled a hole in them and put a bolt all the way through the block and the spring for the spring locator. I changed the rear tires, they are now M/T 29.5x10.5S on 12" rims, fronts are still 26x15's... The only thing I chan...

Here's low for ya... http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2008/10-12-AHRR/TimeOnly/1971/images/DSC_2724.JPG Taken Sunday at Mokan John, Talk to me about these blocks, who's are they ? do they have a spring locator on them etc. Also are you running a 28.5 x 10.5W with a 26x15 set up, are what d...

Artis is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know, Turbo's have gone faster. Here in the DFW area is David Wolfe of Wolfe Racecraft, and Grant McCrary in his twin turbo stang. You have to think that Artis is doing it the old school way and for that he's the MAN! Just my 2 cents! :smt003 supernova: you ...

3 stages of nitrous oxide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes it is fast as hell!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine is simular to it. 8.13 last i seen almost 180? think he was going for 7s at famoso last yr. just couldnt get there. Here is a link with some of Artis stats and info http://www.freewebs.com/artishoustonracing/i...

BILTIT, could you show us some pics of your rear suspension set up please I'd like to see how you have it set up, also are the current leaf springs you have on it for your make car Pontiac/Nova/Olds/Buick all the same set up. Here is a shot of my car which is set up basiclly the same as John's car a...

Update view of my car, still an on going project thats getting better and better now all I need is a job so I can finish it what ever that means LOL!!

Top hole for me


WHY ? Because I was told to do that by John Calvert and I NEVER deviate from what I'm told to do easy guys my wife may be looking over my shoulder LOL

I dunno Phil? I'm sure there probably is a way to design it to use a bearing in some way. I would have to sit down and think how to do something like that. I can't picture it right now. The bushings work pretty well, I got them from McMaster Carr Thanks John, I'll grab my catalog and start thumbing...

So then what I really need is a small bearing like we have on the slider out back what do you thnk ??????

Thanks John, I now understand. Your's is totally different than my set up. so if I understand right your bronze bushings rest against the spring eye bushing and not against the side of the leaf spring. Do I get it On yours where there are big thick steel washers I have bronze washers between the sp...

No, I'm talking about the large thick steel plates that everything hooks too. Here's a couple old photos that may help explain what I'm talking about. http://www.dragstuff.com/nova/johntrack.jpg http://www.dragstuff.com/nova/johntrack2.jpg Thanks John, I now understand. Your's is totally different ...

Phil the way yours is setup it appears to me there is too much friction between the spring pocket and the washers/plates. It probably gets considerably harder to rotate when you tighten the spring bolt down. My setup is different, I have those plates on the outside of the spring hanger and I use br...

Guys I am have been fighting a little problem and I would like your input. 1st. off John I know your set up is a little different but I believe the concept should be the same. I called Calvert and spoke to Travis twice this week regarding the proper function of my Front Pivot Assembly, Travis told m...
