You guys mind if a Buick guy hangs out a little??

[Reed P]

Hey Brian, Lee, Matt and all you others...figured I'd sign up and hang out a little, if you dont mind!

I know some of you know me a little, others dont...so I'll introduce myself. My name is Reed Patridge and I have a problem,,,I mean a Buick!

I'll claim Coupe as my best friend :chug:...and the way I found this place. Anyway...I am gonna hang a little, and try to keep on my best behavior at all times...promise

I will put up a post of all my junk for ya in the next day or two...but my current list of projects includes my 87 Grand National that I have owned since '93...and a 1936 Ford Pickup...flathead powered. Both are on-going projects for me.

later!

Here is my "junkbrick"...as I like to call it!

http://images28.fotki.com/v1002/photos/1/1077655/4538822/IMG_0127-vi.jpg

It is a pretty simple car...small cam, ported heads, intake headers, 60-1 turbo and exhaust. Running 42# injectors. Dyno'd 398 WHP, 530 TQ at Blakes...on 16 psi.

Best pass on the 275 Nittos is 7.21 and 11.40 something. All on 18 psi and pump gas. I want a 6 second pass out of it this year if I can.

Here is my dad's turbo'd 1960 Ford some of you saw at track day

http://images39.fotki.com/v1287/photos/1/1077655/4554828/Picture054-vi.jpg

engine is a 292 Y Block...completely stock, except for a cam and the turbo. Truck had only 35K on it when we found it. I have since changed it to a blow thru carb setup.

And last, my old '36...as found in the barn

On the road....never mind the turbo you see in the inner fender...turbos and flatheads are not traditional...or are they????:metal:
