Basically the car was a cheaper model, a business coupe master 85. It was a strait axle car originally, wish it still had that but the previous...
This is a 40 Chevy coupe project we have been working on. It's been a hot rod for a long time. This time it is going to be powered by a 10:1 455...

I attached a few pictures of a project I have been working on. It's a '57 210 2 door sedan. I wanted the front end raised so I went with ball...
Just to follow up, Dana 44, Mopar 8 3/4, 55-64 Chevy powerlock positrac spiders all are the same as Pontiac/Olds 9.3.
Thanks for the link.. I am still wanting to know if they are the same for other Dana powerlock posi units. Any information would be appreciated....
Does anyone know if Pontiac/Olds 9.3 posi spiders are all on their own? Can you use spiders out of a Mopar, Chevrolet, or any other Dana style...
Great, thank you for the information.
Does anyone know the length of a '57 Pontiac axle shaft?
Only pictures that I have of the difference so far. The springs and spacers definitely rose the front of the car up. Hopefully it won't ride...
Thanks for the replies. This is really the only before picture that I have. This is with no engine or transmission and completely stock front...
I was actually wanting to run a tire about that size myself. Good to know that they will clear the upper a arms. My coil springs are Moog...
What size of tire are you running with those Cragars? My upper A arms are hitting my 14x6 inch reverse rims. Your car looks great.
I am building a '57 Chevy, I wanted the front end to be up in the air so I added some aluminum ball joint spacers and 409 wagon springs. I like...
So the Speedway headers are designed to clear the steering box? If not, are they close enough to where a hammer might persuade them to fit?
Great, sounds like those are the ones to try. I plan on jacking the front end up with ball joint spacers and stiffer springs and running a skinny...
Butch, are you running an A arm front end on yours? I was a little worried about a tube hitting the steering box and getting into my tires. .
I am thinking of buying some big block fenderwell headers for my 57 Chevy. The front end will be jacked up with ball joint spacers and taller...
The gearbox is the same as a Buick, but the Buick tailshaft is for a closed drive line. So, if you need parts, a Buick or Pontiac might be easier...
Thanks for the information. I'd be interested in some of those locker blocks if anyone had any to sell. Are they very strong? I was just...
Does anyone know if there is or was ever a 29 spline spool for a '57 Pontiac rear end made? I have a 29 spline positrac, but wouldn't mind having...
That is the original Keystone wheel, before they figured out how to make them prettier!
I have a 4:10 Pontiac 31 spline spool that I'm taking the spool out of to put in a '58 29 spline positrac unit. I dont have any carrier bearing...
Here is mine. It is a '56 354 factory 2x4 engine out of a 300. I have a muncie transmission behind it and a Ford 9 inch rear.
Thought I'd share a few.
I went with the more expensive conversion and used buffalo nickles... They were worn pretty smooth though.
Doubtful, I'm almost 6'4'' and I'm not too sure how well I will fit in it with it being chopped too much. I guess I will get it running and...
I thought I'd share a few pictures of my model A coupe. We used some 32 rails, 40 Ford X member and pedals, Bronco 9 inch rear, model a front...
Here is our '40 Deluxe Coupe. It has been a hot rod for a long time. It has a 400 Pontiac with '68 GTO heads, ram air 4 cam, 3:55 '57 Ford 9...
I'm building a 31 model A coupe with a '56 2x4 354 Hemi out of a Chrysler 300. I will be running a manual transmission of some sort. I'd rather...
