Dry Sump Tank/Kirkham Chassis
 
I reviewed all of the old threads on Dry Sumps and couldn't find a name of someone that makes a Dry Sump tank that will fit in a Kirkham .... in front of the passenger foot box....

I think I saw a photo of a Dry Sump tank going around a passenger side foot box..... on a Kirkham Chassis..... not sure who that was.... or where I saw the photo......

But we are searching for someone who makes the Dry Sump Tank and are they still in business to make tanks for others....

If anybody knows the company that I can contact we would appreciate the info...

That dry sump you saw was on Pat Buckley's car. It IS front of the passenger footbox, which he shortened a bit to make it fit. He also has the filler cap mounted on top of the fender. It is, to say the least, assolutely outstanding. I'm not sure who finally made it for him. I'll try to post the pics.

Here are pics of Pat's outstanding set up (saved you the trouble Jamo). You'll have to ask Pat where he got the tank though.

Showing off your damn high speed a$$wipe?:rolleyes:

Lew Ledyard 01-21-2004 11:17 AM

I thought that Dave Dralle, aka "Mr. Sunshine" made it.

As I'm sure you realize, you can bite me.:JEKYLHYDE

Chaplin 01-21-2004 11:26 AM

I imagined such. :) But at least I can do it faster now.:p

PatBuckley 01-21-2004 02:13 PM

Dave Dralle did indeed make it.

Morris - drop me a line.

There some pictures of mine in my gallery. I can e-mail some others if you like.

Morris 01-21-2004 03:10 PM

Don't you just love technology.....

Those are great photo's.....

And Pat .... how do I e-mail you...?

That's just the tank I saw....

Pat .. did you cut the foot box to get the tank in there?

Looks Great.... and that Cap sticking out of the fender is a outstanding idea....

That had to be a serious moment when you drilled the hole in the fender.....

That's why they make welders....

Thanks Guy's...

Morris... Pat doesn't have his e-mail listed...
..at the bottom of Pat's post is a button to send him a Private Message...

http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/images/sendpm.gif

...use that.

Morris 01-21-2004 03:23 PM

Is your Dry Sump tank sitting on top of the headers.....

It's hard to tell and it looks like you didn't cut any of the passenger box out to mount yours in the car....

Morris 01-21-2004 03:25 PM

Ron

Thanks .... it's hell being the new guy.....

I noticed that you had some good info over on CSXinfo..... very good posts....

computerworks 01-21-2004 03:33 PM

..thanks. That's where the hardcore chat is! :p

Jamo 01-21-2004 04:29 PM

Yup...sure wished Kincaid had some clothes on when he chats hardcore with us.:JEKYLHYDE

ToyCollector 01-21-2004 04:51 PM

Morris,

I need to ask. You going racing with this thing? Just curious.

Morris 01-21-2004 06:00 PM

Hey TC

Well ...... No ...... but it's hard to build anything without putting the stuff that you know and understand.....

Well ..... Elkhart Lake..... (Road America) is only about 2 hours away........ and it might be nice to once in a while take a couple of laps..... not at speed ..... of course.....

Maybe all you guy's can come up to my place and we'll go to Road America and play...... just play of course....

But damn it would be fun..... coming around the Kink..... down the back straight to Canada corner ...... then coming out from under the bridge and there's 50,000 spectators..... Wow .... what a deal..... then you spin and they all cheer...... wow what a ride..... start it up cut over to turn 5 and you end up ahead of every body you were just racing with and they can't figure out how you got ahead of them ...... especially when they saw you spin in front of all of the people at the bridge......

Damn that was fun..... and I'd like all of you to share in that kind of fun.....

Well ..... Maybe..... once in a while....

You know Showroom Stock.....

Morris 01-23-2004 03:51 PM

Hey guy's ..... I've been having some computer problems and can't seem to get in touch with Pat .....

I'm trying to get a phone number to the guy that made his dry sump tank....

I think his name is Dave Dralle.... if anyone knows .... could you post it ....

Thanks
Morris
