I was too young (just two years old) to remember, but I recall when I used to ride with my Grandpa and pass by a little store in Hickman,Ca. ,...
It'd only help if you mentioned you bought it in 1952 for that price :eek:
I'd heard about using plywood before...guys making wheels for painting and such...thanks for jogging the old grey matter...and saving me cash;)
Dude, try a little de-caf.
The least expensive adapetrs I've found were on Summit, about 70 bucks a pair(cheaper than I'd seen on Ebay in the past), I was thinking I cold...
Not looking to make them to run on the street or anything, but just to use some wheels I have on hand (that don't fit my bolt pattern) to use as...
Point gap good? And is the gap clean? IIRC used points about .016, new .018.
Geez, by the look of my shop, you'd think I was a collector of some sort, but as you get closer, you'd realize I'm the Son in Sanford and Son. I...
Your 350 should have originally been drilled and tapped for a 7/16 fine thread, the cool thing about it is if you strip those thread out, you can...
I just drilled through a 4x4, dropped abolt through the 4x4 into my picker's hole for the chain. Good thing about metal to wood, is very little...
This guy says most likely a Merc crank... http://www.flatheadv8.org/boomer/crank.htm
The movie and the cars were pretty much right on in Modesto according to my Dad, only thing he said wasn't "real" is he never recalled anyone...
I don't want to seem like I'm arguing with you, but go back to the original thread and re-read the scanned copy you inserted, it states (on post...
Good info. I noticed on the MSDS you posted it cleary states that if you "DO NOT SPRAY, BAKE,ETC", then you can use a charcoal mask. So, I...
This gives me vertigo... Pic failure...tried to post the one of the guys eating lunch on the I-Beam
Before you go "custom", why not find a 9-inch (assuming that's what you want) the correct width, then just have axles made?
Well, I learned my SBF MM's are not symetrical side to side, but one sits about an inch further back than the other...ofcourse I learned this...
Yes, but the diameter of the studs would not change the center to center distance.
Really? Assuming the tin is good, where can you find a body like that for the same price? If IFS hurts your nads..well, nothing that a steady...
Thing is, I heard this about being cheaper, coming apart, etc 20+ years ago, it's not a new thing. I agree that there has to be some merit, but...
Sure we did, must be why I haven't had a problem. I was 16, wandering around with 5K in my pocket, decided to stop in at Kragens and blow it...
Are you measuring center to center on the holes, or edge of one, center to the other? Reason I ask is even lug wheels are (I'm pretty sure all)...
I hear these horror stories about Fram all the time, but I must be the luckiest bastard using them, 30+ years of driving and changing my own oil...
I agree, Should definitely get a drop from 1-2 as well, guessing 600-700rpms at 3K, should be easily noticed/felt. Is there a Tach or...
Curious as to why you cannot measure?
Wow, I uh, hope you're not doing much structural stuff on your ride.
Guess I'm lucky, I have Dad first new purchase...'57 Chevy PU...went from a 6, to a 283 to the LS5/TH400 I have in it now...wish I had a son to...
It's a streetrod, so in order to turn a profit, you will have to spend some serious bucks, and hope it pays off. A Nomad is worth some coin,...
Oh yes, but chicks dig the longball more...
A lot of times when using used exhaust manifolds, you have to spread them to get the holes to line up so you can bolt them in. I was just...
