Not suggesting you buy one...but I'd take a look at Art Morrison's website. They have been marketing full replacement chassis for unibody cars...
Something that might work (if you don't run a grille), but be a little less obtrusive, would be to mount a small bracket behind the horizontal...
Sent you a PM. I live in Woodstock, and have been running a home-based shop for a year now. I just leased a space in Acworth, but I'd like to talk...
I was just about to suggest using 4 Mopar hood pins...been using them for years, since I worked at YO...but then I notice who had posted. You...
On my dad's '63, we used an original '63 booster, and added a dual master cylinder from a mid 70s Camaro. It has front discs, though. Personally,...
Here is mine..."The Annointed One/ Imam Obama" himself! [IMG]
Captain Spaulding is nice, but I really like the decal!
If you want 15mpg, or less, and don't mind getting passed by Hyundais on the freeway, go C4. AODs had a bad reputation early on (like all the...
Glad to hear it! Just in case you or anyone was wondering, the 290hp crate engine is based on the old style 350 block...2 piece rear main...so any...
I can't imagine having 400hp or more and choking it down with a set of manifolds...unless you are talking some of the better flowing ones, like SD...
Love it! I have always had a soft spot for early Chevy IIs (has a '63 Nova SS). I ran an Edelbrock Scorpion on it, with heavily worked 462s on a...
I'm glad you didn't take offense, it wasn't meant to be offensive. I have seen a few clean jobs on various vehicles, but the thing most have in...
It might be the factory rearend, or a Dana 44, but the factory rear wouldn't be a Dana 44. Dana 44s were used in International Scout IIs (maybe...
And that was easier how? I did the exact same job for a friend's daughter, and it took me a whopping 20 minutes...no lift, no fancy tools, and not...
Did they let off at half track? Miss a shift? Leave the e-brake on?:D Those times don't sound right for a hemi, blown or other wise....something...
Looks like a cool project...nice shop, too! I can relate to not having time to work on your own cars...been in that boat for a year, though I'm...
There is really no easy way to do it. I use a variety of grinding wheels, from my 4" Makita down to 3M Roloc type discs, and I use cartridge rolls...
Whether he called or not, thats a shitty policy, and its worded in legalese (rather than just saying "no returns"). I doubt a company with a...
Excellent work! I wouldn't do anything to make it look like, frankly, an inferior cast piece. Do you think early hot rodders would have turned up...
Tarheel Rod & Custom Tarheel Hot Rods
Cool stuff!!! esp since the engine was your grandfather's.
That's pretty much how its done...hammer and dolly work, on a smaller scale. Once you get the dents worked the best you can, a little filing and...
If you're going for low speed torque, why not keep the cubic inches? Sure, you could move the powerband down in a 302, but then you have lost the...
I'm just making the same move myself...only to a MUCH smaller shop. Good luck with everything!
I hate buying foreign made tools (hell, anything) as much or more than the next guy, but without getting too political, the previous generations...
You may want to put this in the classifieds if you are trying to sell it. Also, the Saginaw 4 speed is pretty light duty (came in Vegas, Monzas...
All LT1 and L99 cranks are cast, but frankly the newer castings are pretty good. Only the LT4 crank was forged, and its a regular 3.48 stroke....
That was only in '69.
Ok, here is the ad on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsILAyAqMFQ
I typically get some cash up front, but it isn't for labor...its for parts, and in cases where I have a customer who travels or otherwise doesn't...
