@Paul I would have to see the car but you should be able to make a proper skid plate that bolts to the frame. I would lean in that direction if...
I am pretty short legged so I can get away with an A or Deuce (deuce easier) with the engine set back 1 or 2 cylinders. You do have to move the...
no rust. LOL The wife and me drove 4 hours across Kansas to look at a '56 Windsor. "No rust." Yup that was truth. Someone had cut all the rust...
short dragster. Maybe used in an altered.
My personal preference in a hot rod is a coupe. So any opinion as to what makes the best hot rod or what is a true hot rod is going to be biased....
I mount mine between the steering wheel and the seat back. "BEEP BEEP MUTHERSTABBER" I have mounted them under the floor before.
LOL I exploded a TCI T 350 @40MPH in 97. The bell was spiderwebbed. A miner tap with a ball peen removed it. :D
Cutting the bell on a T350 is no hill for a stepper. The C4 bolts on like a hydro or a transmission. The cut T350 bolts to the front pump. I...
the C4 has good aftermarket support and is extremely light. Plus the added caveat of having a separate bell which makes it pretty adaptable. You...
No you are stuck with an old tranny or an adapter. I had a guy working for me when I was at the paving company in Calif. He shoved the big caddy...
my question as well.
my last first gen effie was a '53 and had an SBC in it. It would haul anything you wanted. Most of my '53-'56 Fords ultimately had FEs in them. I...
maybe these will help. [IMG] [IMG]
Both of these are correct. ^^^^^^^ :cool: If I was short a spring I would run both solid bolts in the front and the others sprung. Something to...
LOL I currently own my last car. There are half a dozen cars I would still build given the chance but I am a realist. My 40 chebby is my last car....
LOL maybe words would have been more appropriate. :D
they won't hurt a thing. They may stain something. Maybe wrap them in cheese cloth. I have been known to put rodent poison under the seats too.
welcome Like the 40 but I am biased.
LOL typo. I have been known to not lift until I passed the first return road though. :D Sorry fellas. I do not own it any more but I guess the...
Back in the 90s there was a type of ceramic coat they were using that made them look like rough aluminum. It does not matter of the metal is new...
don't tell Charlie or Porky. The Filthy 40 never got washed. :D
you do not run a resistor with 6V. Just loose the resister and you'll be fine
I can make one stand up and cut a straight line. But that's racin and its only done 1340 feet at a time. A streeter is an entirely different beast
At the risk of sounding mean I am going to say this, sounds like car has problems. LOL I had a good friend, for decades, a hot rodder to the bone,...
I was kind of going to mention that. ^^^^^ I think that cars are made to be driven. Granted I have never owned a show car so I could be wrong....
Squirrelly = Fun Sometimes the cars that are the most fun are not necessarily the fastest cars in the stable. For example, we have 2 327 cars, one...
How new is the chassis? (sorry I know nothing about S&W chassis) If you want to certify it you will need all the tubing to be the proper size and...
We hauled this beater home is a freaking snow storm. 12 hours to make a 5 hour drive. No paint just primer. *I gave it a good rinse in the spring....
LOL in the late 90s I had an 11second mini to work rain, snow, ice, hot and dry. Nothing left of that truck but the motor, nothing special like...
This is going to be the least popular suggestion. Find the right distributer. :eek: We hunt parts all the time, that is part of the game. The...
