I wasn't happy with how the carb bodies came out after just the Pine Sol dip. I know you guys like photos, so here's a photo journal of what I...
So here's the update from this weekend. I repaired the threads in the intake and refinished it. I used Duplicolor "cast aluminium", which is a...
I don't think that diagram is quite right. Shouldn't there also be a heavy cable from the + terminal on the battery to the large lug on the...
Very cool.
I'm using '32 upper stanchions, so about 12" overall height on the windshield. Bald as a cue ball, so I have that issue covered!
I'm 6"4, so I need all of the legroom I can get.
So here is a link to the EBAY SANDBLAST GUN. It worked fine. The hose that comes with it is pretty flimsy and was prone to collapse from the...
I'm going to bring the subrails back down between where the frame is zee'd. Fortunately the channeling is not the finest work, so it won't be that...
So here's an update. I finished stripping and painting the engine. Re-sealed the pans and installed the water pump. I just used Duplicolor...
The plan is to go all black engine, with the fins and script polished as an accent. Something like this, but glossy and with the intake left...
I got clearance from the doc this week to take off the sling, so I made a little progress today. I started cleaning up the engine. It is supposed...
Like I said, dog is fine. [IMG]
So far the intake system is the most expensive single component on my build, other than the body and frame. I paid more for the unrestored intake...
I've noticed that there isn't a vent on factory tri-power carbs. That's what made me think they might not be necessary for the secondary carbs....
I am building a tri-power setup for my SBC using Rochester 2G carbs (progressive linkage; 1 primary & 2x secondary). I have 3 early small-base...
This thread is a few months old, but I'm putting together a tri-power setup, and I found this pic. Those are pur-ty. I have a few questions. What...
Am I mistaken, or does a certain olive green deuce roadster built by a certain Daryl Hollenbeck have a lame, run-of-the-mill, belly-button power...
STP oil treatment is great assembly lube.
The dog is fine.
So, I picked up the car three weeks ago, and not much progress other than taking stock of the parts I have and need. I was going to start in...
Here are some pics of a few of my faves and a link to the whole album. A few hot rods. A few customs. Lots of contemporary street rods. Lots of...
Hey everyone. For those of you in Southeast, VA (or those bored this weekend and willing to travel), there is a show in the Hampton Roads...
Wow. Beautiful car. This really defies the "traditional" boundaries. There is no question it is "inspired" by the traditional style, but are those...
I just looked at your album... like you need to worry about homogenized hot rods. Holy cow. Your designs may have just inspired by current project.
What a great story. I want to know how it ends.
What's the story on the green one. I love that nose.
I care how seeing my car makes other people feel. I love it when someone walks up to me at the gas station grinning ear to ear. It's symbiotic,...
^^^ This is what I meant when I said homogenized hot rods are boring. It doesn't make those cars bad -- not in the least. It detracts from the...
I love this thread. I think it embodies the spirit of "hot rodding". Homogenized hot rods are boring, but they are a sign that the hobby is...
Here are a few pics I received from the seller.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
