Thank you so much for your vid, I was struggling with it, I have some Kafka brushes but I was watching tutorials with mak brushes. Much different and I didn't know. Thank you
Awesome! Very beautiful board tracker custom project. I have only one question - why haven't you made fuel crane closer to the carb? To my mind that would have drastically made the fuel pipe shorter and the fuel supply more stable.
The old timers near your college actually had their own little track around 1910 west of Marquette. They called it a funnel. Not competition. Just for fun. Shaw built motorcycles in that area at that time. Galesburg Kansas.
this is not a board track racer but a bicycle built from scratch with a single cylinder power produces small low rpm engine ..nice metal art but that's about it !
Huh, neat looks like a Briggs model y, what kind of speeds did you achieve? I can’t imaging it was much it’s only a 1/2 horse motor stock, if you actually wanted to drive it a non governed carburetor and custom head is pretty much necessary, at least that’s what I did with mine, it’s not a 7000 rpm screamer but it has some nice torque, max is about 2500 rpm, due to it being a dipper motor, good job overall looks nice.
real board track racers were equipped with huge V-Twin engines of the average of 74 cu. in. displacement attaining speeds of over 100 mph ..i doubt if this thing would out run a moped
Hy. Excuses my English Sir, but in Paris our language is not the same of yours. 😊 What kind of engine did you put on your tracker? On mine, I put a motobecane 50 cc engine and take 84 kmh speed max. My next project may be bigger in the same spirit with a fatbike as the frame and wheels. How mad we are!!! 😂😂😂 See you.
Well done, cool project I hope they had fun building this. Making the tank out of copper is a good idea even if I don't understand why they put in these rivets.

It makes no difference on engine performance. The car with or without this filter produces 20 inches of mercury at idle. Runs and drives like a dream. I drove this car on a 2.5 day road trip from Kansas to California as is (mostly stock) and not a single problem on the road. When was the last road trip you took in a stock old car?
Sorry for the late reply but yes I still have this car, I’m working on an update video and I’m thinking of Documenting the last stage of the build. I’ve got some good stuff in the works!😁
Nice job on your business coupe, Jacob. Kudos to your dad and family for being so supportive of your project. Did you ever align your steering wheel so that the spokes are horizontal, instead of vertical? Back in the mid-1970s, I owned a pristine '53 Bel Air 2-door hardtop, with column 3-speed stick. Loved that car, but I sold it in 1977 to raise the down payment money for my first house. Big sacrifice, but plenty worth it.
