Ok, I look at this pic and I see a cast iron connecting rod welded (Mig it looks like) to a steel frame. Then with a plate welded to the other end. I DON'T CARE IF THIS IS A TEST STAND OR WHATEVER, but that setup is the most dangerous thing i have seen in a long time.
First off rigid mouting a small block chevy into a hot rod frame is dumb, but using a cast iron piece and welding it to steel is a RECIPE FOR FAILURE.
Now, i have rigged all kinds of shit in my life, and i was hoping that this wasn't a real car.
but low and behold, next page, this is a complete car.
Who ever decided that this was a good idea to put into print is fuckin crazy. Am I wrong?
I don't think so.

True, Dave, to put it into print and encourage others is almost more asinine than the actual fabrication...Anybody who has tried welding cast to steel knows there's no fusion with any structural integrity...
sketch indeed.
popin and spittin! how could anyone think this is a good idea?
Thats some funny shit! Posted a pic of a engine flying threw the air the other day. May of been the same guy. Soon to be a member of the gimp club.
unfortunately, there are alot of guys that will see that and think that it is just amazing, and say "why didnt I think of that". Stupid shit like that pisses me off!
I saw this to and was shaking my head...I bet someone told him not to do it too.
Stupid fucking ratrodders, Darwininning their way to oblivion.
they did a lot of drugs in those days...
