  Scott Robinson is from southern California and has been into cars his whole life, his earliest memories recount his time spent with his father and his friends. Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him.   The father and son

 But it also has lights, mirrors,and wipers, that the owner says makes it street legal. The one-piece tilt front end is made of fiberglass for weight savings and easy engine access. The rest of the body is factory steel.  The engine is a 327cu.in. small block with a Weiand 6-71 Roots-style supercharger that’s topped by a pair of 500 cfm. Carter AFB four barrel carburetors. The fenderwell exit exhaust headers were made by Doug’s Headers. A Turbo 350 three-speed automatic transmission bangs the gears , and it’s equipped with a 3000 RPM converter which is controlled by a Hurst shifter.



The nose bleed front suspension was attained with parallel leaf springs and a tube axle,from Speedway . The brakes are Wilwood disc’s front & rear, and the 10 bolt rear end hangs on huge ladder bars supported by air shocks .

 

The interior features classic low-back racing bucket seats with five point belts , the dashboard is clean and simple with a Autometer Tach. on the column  and a vintage blue metal flake steering wheel .

  In this installment of What's in The Garage  we check out Paul Kaufmann's over the top Plymouth Arrow. What was once an old street race car from Detroit, it's now a Hemi powered street-machine that looks like noting else on the road.           This one is still in the garage but its about to break free. Ten years were spent on this build spanning over four states; New Jersey, Connecticut, Georgia and now Florida.    The story is extensive and Paul has many people to thank. Paul stated that this his first EFI project and its been a blast getting together. Lots of engineering went into planning and executing the build, he had two machinists, one body guy, one chassis shop, and an engine & transmission builder, the list goes on & on !     Paul states he is still wrapping up technical issues and getting ready for the road.   Paul stated that the street tires and wheelie bars don't jive but he had the chassis shop build them for him so he can get her on the

Improve your cars ET with this week's Tip !

   This week's tip will improve your muscle cars performance ! Cold fuel will vaporize more quickly than hot fuel, so adding a cooler can add horsepower. You can buy one or you can save some cash by making one. Take a large coffee can and line a coil of copper tubing around inside of it. Drill holes at the top and bottom of the can for the copper line to enter and exit.  Attach the appropriate fittings to the copper line to connect it in series to the Carb. Seal the line to the can to prevent leaks. Connect the fuel lines, fill the can with water, and inspect the can for leaks. If there are no leaks, fill the can to the top with ice, and install the lid. As fuel circulates through the copper coil, the ice will cool it.  When it hits the hot manifold, it will vaporize instantly, and be ready to ignite when the plug fires!  You can drop 1-2-tenths off a 1/4-mile time,and increase speed by 4-5 mph. Moroso also makes a plastic version that keeps the ice colder and it doesn't rust o
