I like Mustangs. As donor cars.
Big A, Thanks. The chop is going to be very subtle, probably about 2.5" max. I want it to look like a more streamlined model that could have...
As a stop-gap, if you're going to replace the cables anyway, tie knots in them until they're short enough to work.
I've been meaning to post the progress on this car. It's been a driver for a while now. It's low, I don't think I'd do a bigger static drop. The...
I saw this right away when I found the forum. It's not complicated. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44274
Try some balance, dude. Back off obsessing about getting things on your car(s) done by ridiculous deadlines that would mean you having to use up...
I'm looking at the car this week with the advice given here in mind. If it passes inspection it's mine for $1k. I'm a decent mechanic but...
Gracias amigo
I went from Alliance Member back to Grenade Inspector. My title in the forum means squat, my concern is that somehow after I signed up, whatever...
So, out of curiosity, has anyone else seen themselves revert from "Alliance Member" to their old title, or is it just me? :confused:
Thanks Hellfish. Lotsa places in Austin carry the rust-prevent/patch stuff. Here's the only place I've found which carries the epoxy putty:...
Anyone know of a place to buy por-15 epoxy in/near Austin? I have a '67 Beaumont wheel I'm restoring for my shoebox and after reading this...
Excellent info guys really appreciate it. I'm going to give this car a thorough inspection this week. I'll take some pictures and you can tell me...
This car looks just like this picture, only with old paint, some lower panel rot, and on blocks :D
I have a bead on a 1963 Chrysler New Yorker project car in really nice shape. A friend is moving and can't take it with him. I need some advice...
It's worth it. The amount of help I've gotten from the HAMB is priceless. I'm buying in as soon as the dust settles on some shit I bought online...
Love it. Nice work.
To help with the "B" pronunciation, I typically say "HAM. <pause> BITCH!" Try it. Hope this helps/Mike
With a 3 speed the 3.00:1 ought to work out well for you as far as balance between performance and drivability. If you can get ahold of a 3.70:1...
If it's in first week of August I'm there. Sorry to hear about your loss. /Mike
Welcome. You'll find plenty of other Shoebox nuts here!
[IMG] You mean this one?
Kustoms are about looks, not performance. Right? I have a 50 Shoebox kustom that I've been doing a ton of mechanical work to. When I told a...
I think I threw mine out :( I'll look tomorrow... if I can find it you can have my original for shipping cost. It worked fine. /Mike
I did mine before I found the HAMB. I couldn't find a reamer anywhere.
Yup. I've done it. It takes a while. You just have to be *really* careful that you don't push the spinning stones all the way through, or...
All the time. That's why there are $500 worth of brand new tires and wheels for sale in classifieds that didn't fit on my Shoebox. Why? Because...
C. It's the closest to "art deco" in that bunch. I think I'll get one too.
Looks good Gable. Is it your business, or your personal workshop? Needs a keg in the middle with Austin HAMBers around it.
WOW!! SICK!!! I *felt* that car when I saw the first pic. That is one industrial blunt instrument. Love it.
