Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

I have bought several from them over the years and they have always come like that. They used to be in Green Menards buckets, and just recently switched to the orange QP ones. The buckets almost always are unusable, due to a hole somewhere, but the parts aren’t damaged and the boxes are intact so they must know what they are doing.

 

What a bonus...not only a center section, but a urinal for the garage.

 

I'm not bitching, I was already told it would be in a bucket lol. I want my housing so I can get to work on the car

 

I know it's not new York jack, but my shop has plumbing

 

I ended up cutting my bucket to get it out.

 

Maybe Jack wants it for his garage?

 

Sure you did.

 

LOL. My old shop had an oil-change funnel and tubing sticking through a hole in the back wall with a bucket outside. Only had to empty the bucket once a week...sometimes more often depending on how much beer consumed.

 

And besides that’s not a urinal, it’s a crapper! Everyone knows us rural folk use trees when we have to pee. You don’t have to mop it up when you miss then.

 

Your axles will probably show up next.

 

Freaking brakes oh well. All I can say is when it's done, it better hold up to me! Lmao! But on another note, that TKX 5 speed is available for immediate shipping decisions decisions....

 

Will the 5 speed work with your existing clutch and bellhousing?

 

Yes sir. Just a swap out. Only thing is shifter location i think. Oh and clutch disc. TKX has a 26 spline input shaft.

 

So what are you waiting for???

 

Plus just a little bit of denero? Asking for a friend.

 

$2895.00 but it would be nice to get the deeper 1st gear, and still be able to hit overdrive on the interstate.

 

Do it!!!!!! It is like having a standard 4 speed with a overdrive. No linkage to bind. You need a new driveshaft anyway. Make sure you get the proper ratio.

 

My driveshaft is good lol. And it was rated for 550hp. At least on paper lol. I'm going to, it'll have the trans before spring

 

Get the rear end fixed first lmao

 

Another shipment due tomorrow. Hoping, fingers crossed, that it's the housing, probably the axles, but I can hope. In the meantime, after looking at a 1,673,690 pictures, and staring at my in stock paint, I have decided on my paint colors, and scheme. Drum roll........... orange with green panels. I ordered the green today. Never bought anything from these guys, but they advertise a lot of good looking colors on another platform I frequent. It's painthuffer.com. lace and endless line will adorn the green inserts. I decided against hugger. It's too red.

 

I REALLY like that green.

 

Painthuffer challenger green. I was blown away! I think I'm gonna order a quart of their fire orange candy to put over the crush orange. They've got some good looking colors. Not bad on prices either. Shipping and tax included i paid $200 for the green.

 

Ordered it from TCP lol. I had some polishing pads already in my cart

 

So.... I bought 10 yards of black vinyl, what should I do inside? Throw green and orange in with the black? All black with green or orange stitching? Orange welt? Now I gotta start thinking about that part lmao!

 

Diamonds are awesome, sucks to sew though!

 

Ooooooh, shiny! I'm really glad you decided on panels. The ones that are on there are so cool. Be a shame to cover them up with just one color.

 

I can’t wait to see it. Just seeing the colors has my head spinning! Green is my favorite color, then orange with the green. Magnificent.
