1963 Rambler "Sugar" Resto-Track-Travel-AutoX-Mod

[SRD art]

Had no choice really...it's numbers matching and I felt like it was too rare of a car to start splitting it up. I'm anxious to see how it does since I am not looking for top-end speed (since I'm autocrossing) and the 3-speed combined with the bored out flat 6 should be a nice set up for the small track.

I had one area of paint on the back of my upper arm that got all funky, like slightly swollen and bumpy. Then I realized if I would just stop scratching it it went away, lol! It's been about 2 weeks and I still have it on my fingernails. I wore nitrile gloves but I decided to use foam brushes instead of paint brushes. As the foam would wear off the stick I'd apply it by holding the foam like a sponge. It blew through several gloves and got on my fingers. At least for you if you wear long sleeves no one will know the better.

I wonder if you can throw a little bit of boost at it, maybe 5-10 lbs? Those old motors seemed pretty beefy if nothing else. Still not sure that it could handle it but something to consider. Inline 6 torque with some low gears should do well in pulling around corners and such. I've seen plenty of videos that prove power isn't what wins autocross.
