My son Jeff has been on vacation the last couple weeks workin' on his Camaro. He took the stock fuel pump out & installed an external ( much bigger) pump, a couple ''mega micron'' filters & all new fuel lines & fittings. The fuel pressure gauge doesn't bounce around anymore, it's got a nice clean supply of fuel for the nitrous now.
Hey Jerry, you'll appreciate this, I actually "finally" talked him into droppin' my Rossler 210 in there for a few laps. He's been stuck on keepin' that 6 spd. until now. I told him since I won't be using it anytime soon, he should try it just to see how it compares to the 6spd. I'm bettin' he'll be hooked the first time he lets go of the trans brake button.

He's on his own if he buys a lenco.

I just want to use his car as a test bed for the Rossler. I've had it for 2-3 years now, I should really find out if it works.

I had a truck lined up to lift the shear onto the truck, but I know those guys are busy this time of year & I hated to bug them about my little project. So, tonight I got this bright idea to build brackets for the floor jacks that would pick the shear up, but would not get in the way when I rolled the truck under it.

I used some scrap stuff, nothin' pretty, but it worked. The bottom angle iron that slides under the shear between the feet has a lip that wraps around to the inside of the shear. When I jack it up it locks onto the shear, simple but effective.







Slipped it in place, drilled the mounting holes & bolted it in place.


Even the shears pedal linkage clears. Once the swivel wheels get straightened out it rolls surprisingly easy for 3,000 lbs.





Table fits. Needs an aluminum top & there's a little more to get the fence finished.
