Funny car/hotrod sayings.....

If it don't go it's gotta show!

Three pots. (reference to the looks of the individual air cleaners popularly used on a three Stromberg carb setup on flat head V-8's)

Three on the tree. (manual three speed shifted on the steering column)

Cheater slicks. (slicks with groves cut in them to make DOT legal)

Lead sled. (car with body modifications, pre bondo, requiring the use of much lead filler)

Man do I remember that older kid doing that to his 30's coupe with the Chebby engine in it....:crutches:
 
I remember growing up and here the term 30/30 cam and never new what that was either.(might have been a crane grind#)

30/30 cam: Gm # 3849346. Sometimes called the Duntov cam. Refers to the .030" intake/.030" exhaust valve clearence required.

First used 64 to 65 Fuelie Vette and then 67 to 69 Z/28--- the best street cam EVER!!!!!
