Here's a picture taken at the Grovewood Tavern in Cleveland. Eddy Anderson part owner of the "63" on the left, Chuck Zingale , Parts Mgr at Jackshaw on the right, and me , with no such accolades View attachment 65482

If you get a chance ask Ed if he remembers how the car was equipped before they converted it...engine& trans?

Thanks...Russ

Russ,
Any idea what they ran for an induction system since the car obviously did not come equipped with the cowl induction air cleaner? I remember seeing the blue hood scoop in some of your earlier pictures but that would not have been present on the earlier version of the car, correct?

 

[RussC]

The car was built with forced induction...flexible ducting running from the headlights to the carbs. There didn't seem to be a phylum box...rather the hoses attached directly to the carbs. The first version..Jackshaw and Tornado never had a scoop. The blue scoop came later

I'll probably see Ed at the annual get together next month. I will get what ever info I can from him. He did tell me the car came off the lot.
Walter Jackshaw was a very generous man, and probably helped along the way. Ed knew a lot of people, including the Detroit guys in charge
of racing, which helped in obtaining all the necessary parts.

 

[RussC]

Thanks

Is this the same "Chuck Zingale" that lived on Redfern Road in Parma, OH?

Thanks. REALLY RUSS!!!! HAVEN'T I TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING?????????
Buy a plane ticket to the event and meet Ed in PERSON!!!!!!!! You will have a lifetime of memories and information on YOUR car!!!!!!!
Seriously!!!!!!
Geez......if you need some cash I can float you a small loan for a year!!!!!

In 1963 things were done a little differently. You made do with what you had. Much of the work on our car was done with a cutting torch. That's what was available...that worked...it was good enough for a race car

Check out my homemade low oil light. Probably could have bought the trailer clearance light from Western Auto

 

[RussC]

Oops

 

[GCAMINO]

Tom,, I don't think so. He told me that he's still in the same house in Euclid, Ohio since the 60's. Before that I don't know.

I'll post the date and place, of this years get together, when I hear. Last year it was down the street from the Jackshaw dealership.

 

[Phil Reed]

Keep Russ in the loop please. I worry about that boy!!!!!!!!!

 

[DonSSDD]

Russ, it would be more functional if you screwed it to the top of the dash so you don't miss it, Maybe move the tach up there too.

 

[RussC]

Trying to go back much the way it was. It appears the tach was clamped to the column. The light is bright enough to be hard to miss

 

[Phil Reed]

Ask Ed about it when you go see him!!!!!

 

[Phil Reed]

Russ....can't fund your thread where you were asking about an NOS LR quarter molding in white. I found you a pair tonight for $1250 on Ebay. You get the real rare LH that you need and then you will have a spare RH like everyone else that you can sell for $250!!!!
Just thinkin' of you ole buddy!!!!!

 

[RussC]

Appreciate the thought. I got a pair for the car. $1250 for inventory is pretty salty. Again thanks

[Jim Sullivan]

Russ, what's the plate over the transmission hump? Bolt access or patch a hole from an exploded clutch?

 

[Don Jacks]

Likely both!
