That thing is neat, but does that 950 represent the flow? If so, yikes!
3, 6, or 8 deuces look great...but four barrels are easy to tune and make good power. When did they start becoming prevalent on rods?
That's a real good price, in my experience. Buy one of those $40 engine cradles to make it easier to tie the engine onto a pallat and keep it...
This post isn't O/T. Most of the early hot rod magazines covered boats...hot rod boats, just like these.
They'll say American Racing on them. There is a similar version w/ rounded windows, more like a Halibrand kidney bean. I think those were made...
Good. Thanks.
These are a set of American Racing Standards I picked up from my local wheel guy. I bought them because I thought they were unique...but it looks...
I've had good luck w/ Ebay. Ask for lots of pictures and check the seller's feedback.
For polishing, Steve at English Custom Polishing is your guy. He's a HAMB'er (Polisher) and does very nice work....
Are you doing it your own way, or trying for an exact replica?
And that can go two ways...both of which are a bit alarming.
Fascinating and pretty car. I'd love to know a little more. Thanks!
Due to short wheelbase, I'm sure it's a handful...but I'd feel more confident in that than the monster below. Talk about sideways, yeesh!
Thought people might find this interesting. If anyone has details, please share. Thanks.
Thanks Mart.
It has nothing to do w/ Cab. It has to do w/ me wanting to grease the skids w/ Brush for future work. Ha!
and the bolt pattern too. 99% sure it's 5 on 5.5, but want to make sure. Thanks.
It's yours my man. Definitely the right thing to do.
Ah hell, you guys are right. It's yours Brush...but I want a hug and high five if we ever meet! PM me you mailing address and I'll send it...
You wanna' see one heck of an eBay score...get a load of what I just paid $260 for:...
A man, a plasma cutter, and a '40 Ford sedan destined for the scrap pile.
Good question. Answer: This is funner :)
The gentleman who won the first auction...his house burnt down and funds are needed for more important things. Ryan gave the OK to re-auction so...
Your idea of "The Good ol' Days," is a little off. There's nothing there about poverty, war, recession, or racism.
*cough* have ol Beet cut it for you and pay for shipping *cough*
Car will run a light SBC w/ a lot of set-back and me set back. Main concern is hook-up...but a decent ride would be OK too.
Old "style," not old. I mean newly made cheater slicks from companies like Hurst and Radir. I'd really like to see samIyam run the BFD w/...
These are looking like a better option. Not as traditional, but why spend money on motor work and not go anywhere? Tman, can you get the link...
This kid speaks the truth. Although the actual University of WA is beautiful, the U District is run down, abused by fraternity kids, and...
I like the look, but do they actually put power to the ground any better than a radial? It'd be neat to see a real world ET comparison....
