countrytravler Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 You all just want to see me make a fool out of my self swinging the hammer and hitting my self!:confused: O YA!!Well here is a little warm up before I do that. Its at a airport in 2012 racing a airplane doing 140+ and the plane doing 200+ when we past the spectators during the Fathers Day fly in. Watch close at the 45 sec mark when the plane past me with only being about 10 feet away. I'm driving a heavily modified 34 Dodge Panel that was done in 1977.Go to YouTube and put in “Car Races Airplane” Its a 56 second clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frcc16 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Now, is there a thread on here on how to remove the brake shoes? There is sludge covering everything in there! I'm guessing that the last owner gave up too soon trying to remove the drum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
