I'm building from the front half, I should say the front two quarters of a '27 touring. I envy your pristine subframe. Mine is mostly a memory....
Yeah, that one got away. Wish now I hadn't wasted all that money on gas and girls.... well no, not really!
I was going to bug you about an update, but then, my '27 still looks like my avatar!
Back when I was making a full dollar an hour, I tried for a whole summer to save up $200 for a '53. That one had a 396 in it. Course it was in...
Your use of the phrase "dual purpose" got me thinking. Is your jig adaptable enough to fit a straight six? I'm thinking about a car that would be...
There is no way I can NOT follow this build! Not sure about the V8: I'm disguising a 300 Ford as a Speed Six.
Sorry for the confusion. I meant to include this image to make my point. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I don't know if you've had a chance to drive on a...
Can't believe I lost track of this thread! This is what I meant by steering angle.[ATTACH]
Easy to see where this build went bad: Because you happen to have a stick of half inch flat bar, doesn't mean you should use it for all your...
Don't see why not. Off the shelf/early Ford front end should work. Solid struts from the usual coilover mounts should equal rigid rear, hair pins...
Check out the H.A.M.B. Drag Nationals, traditional drag racing on the Mokan ultra-traditional dragstrip. HA/GR is a low buck class Ryan created....
I'm not sure how far 1960 is from Mokan, but it looks like you're just a bomber seat and a rollcage away from an HA/GR dragster.
I've always loved the Anglias and Thames gassers. Somewhere in my boxed up treasures, I still have the magazines or xeroxes of the articles where...
Say what?
It was in the Winged Express pit area at the Bowling Green Hot Rod Reunion. I was going through the tee shirt rack looking for my size. Guy asks...
I've come late to the thread, but want to encourage you to continue. I don't think you need to worry much about bumps in the road: In my...
++Glad you got it. 64 Dodge 440 is still mad at me!
Finally got around to watching the video. Miss-lead us all into thinking you're one of us muckers, then show us the mega bucks fifth wheel trailer...
Tell me you're going to reuse that tractor seat....Please!
Called ECI regarding their disk brake conversion kit for 57-64 1/2 ton pickup. My measurements match their jig for mounting bracket! Basic kit on...
Called Speedway tech before ordering their disk kit for Ford truck 53-56. No Match. Need volunteer to measure mid-sixties F100 or F250 spindles!...
These are the measurements I'm hoping you"ll find: Kingpin diameter is .855, length is 6.5 Spindle bearing is Hoover #3003 Bolt spacings 4.251...
I've got the same spindles! Did you ever find out what they were from?
Did any of you that did theses swap happen to save spindles and hubs? Do they resemble those in my post: Springer Sprint Axle ID? Thanks for your...
The first HAMB/SDRA cars I saw were flathead ford powered. I missed that motor's origional hay day, but I really like the way those looked and...
I got to visit SDRA and Ozark Raceway for the Ozarks Hot Rod Reunion, and caught up with Bob Hindman and one of his 300 Ford/Powerglide adapter...
I bought these Centerline wheels on ebay, intending to use them on early ford spindles on my SDRA dragster. Unfortunately, they came without any...
Where does the time go? Two years! My excuses are the usual suspects: time, money space, health, weather, computer problems. Too many other...

Am I the only one who noticed how w i d e that seat is? Or the only one crude enough to mntion it?
