Buy yourself an old car...and rebuild it. Best way to learn.
Busy tonight. Tore into the new mastercylinder install. Couple pics. Still need to get the right hardware to install it. Should work nicely.
I know on the chevys, that the business coupe is a two door, no rear seat, and smaller back side windows. Longer looking trunk. Sedan...
Mad props on the patio building conditions. Car looks great, and I bet will be so fun to drive. Keep it up.
Okay, what have I done? Cut out the stock fuel feed, and welded the door shut. Going with a mustang tank. Also cut out more of the existing trunk...

Like Lukydevl, it means I am getting on the road soon. Have done a few motorcycles and my 52 chevy. Ripped out the old harness just to do it my...
and a few more.
Here are the pics
Spent a few hours in the garage tonight. Got the top links mounted, no binding, cut out some tunnel, cut out inner rear fenderwells, bags are...
Go with the T5. Just put one in my 52, and it was pretty easy. Get the adaptor plate and the trans crossmember from hotrodworks.com. As for the...
I am looking to do the same thing. Just checked out some pics of the mustang tank, and couldn't see where the sending unit would mount. Any help...
Gotta hit up Dicks Drive-In. Great, cheap burgers and chocolate shakes. Think there is 6 or 7 around the Seattle area. Beths if you are looking...
Well, it's been a while since I have gotten anything done. Was out in the garage last night and worked a bit more on my rear end. We had the top...
When I built my chopper, I set the ride height at 4". It's a ridgid, so it doens't get lower than that when riding. Never had any problems....
A few more pics...
So, I ordered some parts for the Chevy. Got some new bias plys and rims. Mounted and balanced, they look super good. Gonna look sweet on the car....
I really like shooting my Canon Xsi, with Sigma 50mm f1.4. Added the battery grip for my bigger hands, and it's quite comfortable to shoot all...
No matter how much oomph you are wanting...I'm guessing your gearing is going to limit you on highway speeds. That's one of the reasons I swapped...
I put a 95 s10 trans behind my 235. Got an adapter plate from Snarl. Works great. Used a 1984 Monte Carlo rear end, and put matching gears in...
So, I finally have a couple pics. Car is looking a little better. ---Progress--- Installed Hurst shifter, and it's nice. Fits my hand nicely....
Isn't the horn button hooked to the ground end of the circuit? 12v into horn, out to button and then to ground?
Well, it's been a really busy 4 months for me. The little kid is 8 months old now. Works gotten busier, and I just haven't had the time to do...
I'd say to bag it. But that's just me. New shoes and ditch the 10' antenna and eyebrows. Sweet looking ride, as is. Good score.
Damn. Wish I had the fabrication skills this guy has. Love the steering wheel. Jealous, seriously. I'm lucky if my shit just holds together...
Screw the 350 idea...lame. I just swapped in a T5, and a monte carlo rear end. Really like the old straight 6, and mine runs great...so I kept...
Are you keeping the stock rearend, or have you already swapped it out for an open drive? Also, why not just bag the stock front? Would save you...
What master cylinder are you using? Looking to do the same on my '52. Thanks.
So, I did some more. Got pinion gear installed. Installed carrier with shims, new bearings. Put on new backing plates, and did left side brakes....
Would think you wouldn't need a proportioning valve as you have one circuit to the front and one to the back. Don't you usually use a p-valve...
