    He had a very unfortunate issue with a transaction on here and left due to frustration. Hopefully this too shall pass and he'll find his way back eventually. That white 'cat is sooooo sweet!

    Topcat Got TORQUE?

    Thanks Tom.

    Well, i finally got my 3 piece torque converter cover mounted. It fits perfectly but i could have just made a two piece and it would have worked.You can see my Powermaster clock-able mini-starter.

    Topcat Got TORQUE?

    Well......maybe i can get this 'Cat ready for the 35th GS Nationals.

    Here i modified a 66 kickdown switch bracket and installed it on the B4B.I just have to modify the way it mounts to the carb
    so that it functions properly.

    The push is on......

    Where, where the Hell is Bill?

    Well, maybe he went to get a sideways haircut
    Maybe he went to get a striped shirt
    Maybe he went to get some plastic shoes
    Maybe he went to get some funny sunglasses
    Well, maybe he went to get an Air Force parka
    Maybe he went to get a Vespa scooter

    Well this year marks the 10 year anniversary of this post and Wild Bill and I are definately Wildcat Challenged!

    Next year in Bowling Green is now our goal. Wildcat Reunion 2.0 !

    I am WAY behind Bill in the construction of my Wildcat, but have the winter to pull it together.

    Lets GO!

    OK, these are finally on the car. Brakes should be operational by the end of 2016. Then on to hydraulic clutch .. both custom installations that need tweaking.

    I'm working towards a September debut @ the WOT NATS in Bowling Green.

    Ted --- red interior on the black Cat?

    SpecialWagon65 Ted Nagel

    Yeah baby! The bucket seats are done and the door panel bits need parts. I have to visit the interior guy.

    Red custom interior was not an option , so a decision on headliner color has got to be made.

    Red headliner is too much red. White would be proper but it seems like it would clash with black exterior.
    Black - mmmaybe. Silver....or dark grey...
