I am sure that one set of gears (both speeds) spin on a shaft with needle bearings and have a dog ring face on one side of them, then there is a...
I found the attached advert in the August 1950 issue of Speed Age. If I had my choice between the Downey Machine two speed quickee or the Allard...
If I were looking for a quick change that is probably hard to find, but made in America and I am sure a nice piece I would look for this one from...
You have blocks for the rear, what are you planning for the front? Or is it going to be a tail dragger? Rex
Charlie, Regarding the small plenum that my vacuum lines run to, it is important to have some volume but again to large and the signal to the ECU...
Connect the line between the tanks low or on the bottom of each tank, be sure that the line does not go above the bottom of either tank and they...
My very first car back in 1958 was a 53 Vicky, great car. I dropped the front by flipping the spindle supports and de-arching the rear springs....
TIG weld it and it won't care, if it is a real problem use bronze TIG rod. The piece of late model metal is not big enough to be a problem. Tac,...
Charlie, I just did a little work on my EFI and cleaned up a couple of items and thought I would send some pics before I put lots of road time on...
Charlie, LB+1 may have a point, where is your fuel pressure control valve located in the fuel line? Is it before or after the fuel rails? It...
I've always thought that mounting the radius rods on the bottom of the frame really screwed up the great line of the 32 rail. This is how I did...
Some aluminum sheet, some MDF and a couple of hours and I made this for my Hilborn injected 2 liter Ford 4 cyl. Element is a K&N. Rex
Charlie, I have not been keeping up with your build but just opened it now to see you are working on the EFI and like your vacuum collector. Do...
I made mine from some 3/16s stainless rod and some woven stainless screen from McMaster and Carr. Shaped the rod to fit the opening , then cut the...
My neighbor, Gail Shaw, made a pretty good living working on Cords, he has a 4 door sedan that he drives everywhere, over 75,000 miles, and also a...
My choice is the Jackie Howerton roadster and in my mind it will never be the Bill Lindig/So Cal roadster because Jackie was the creator and the...
Seret. You make it look to easy and I don't think people realize the amount of work you have done to get where you are. Great job and good advise...
Malcomb, That is some first class fab work, love the supports and the trunk floor. Not easy when you fit one place and fab another. Keep up the...
Gearheadbill, I agree with you completely, doing the rear this way looks good but is just bad engineering. The reason it "works" is as...
I have never weighted it but I am sure my modified is under 1500#. 2 liter Zetec, 10 lb flywheel, T5, mag Hildebrand quickee, Coleman Bros...
Sumfuncomet, My body is made from Brookville body skins, I built all of the support frames from 1" and 3/4" square tubing. I also built the door...
sgtlethargic, Not really sure what the Kent/Pinto bellhousing looks like but if it is the same as the old Ford/Pinto/Small pickup 2.3 single...
I did the rear end to my modified very similar to the way you are thinking. I used some pre 40 rear radius rods and welded a threaded tube to...
Send me a PM, I have a pair of Duce frame horns from my modified, laying in my shop. If they are long enough for you they're yours. Rex
This one is mine, 28 rpu on Duce frame rails. Rex
This is my Ford Zetec, 4 cylinder, 2 liter, 4 valve, DOHC with Hilborn electronic fuel injection, header and 10 lb flywheel. Car is 28 rpu...
Lynn, What a fantastic build, great fabrication and work. I love the long doors! Can't wait to see it completed. Rex
Tomkelly, I do not have a build thread for my car but I do have a lot of pictures of the building process. I started the car in 2000 after some...
