One more bit of trivia- - - -the Excalibur frame is also being measured and tweaked for a Jaguar independent rear suspension with a sprung-weight third member and inboard disc brakes- - - -should make it handle like a "rocket sled on rails"!

An old geezer WWII vet from my home town was one of the first hotrodders in our area to experiment with nitrous oxide back in the late 1960's. He had a ratty-looking old 57 Dodge pickup with a 440 in it and a nitrous bottle under the hood. When he hit the loud switch the whole back end of the truck disappeared in a cloud of tire smoke! Later he built up a 49 Chevy coupe with a highly-modified 327 and a Muncie 4 speed with a Hone overdrive that worked on 3rd. and 4th. gear and a 3.08 rear end. His top end was somewhere in the 150+ MPH range.
