Has anyone ever restored a Willys or put a 4 cyl back in one? I've walked past rows of them in shows that all had Hemi's in them. I'm surprised no...
I usually use high nickle rod when I weld cast iron after pre-heating the part. Brazing is usually effective as well. However, I doubt that I...
1923 Studebaker Big Six Touring
I would say finding a dropped front axle with good spindles would be your starting point for a cheap build. The rest of the front suspension and...
GMC truck and coach division and Pontiac division were and still are, kinda sorta the same division from what I understand.
BAD idea....Strombergs were not designed to lean into turns.
Thank you Cruiser....I feel like we're a team now :)
If you made some plywood bucks to fit your form, bought or stole a planishing hammer, a plasma cutter, a box/pan brake, a shear, some 18 ga. steel...
Why not box the whole frame?
Mustang II front and a triangulated 4-bar rear with coil-over shocks on all 4 corners. Don't screw around with camaro clip crap on a 30's car. The...
Sure looks like a 51-52 Ford P/U ring to me.
L.H. cobalt drill bit lubed with tap-magic will make short work of it.
Man...All that good advise, then WHAM!...right in the kisser...a freakin can of shake shake
Just because doing it his way held up once for 200K miles, doesn't mean it will again.
1) Make sure you are not using the new plastic floats. The alcohol in fuel eats them up. Use only brass floats. 2) .051 jets might be a tad big,...
looks like it will be rewarding and fun. Slap a 700-r4 tranny in it so you'll get a zillion mpg. and laugh at the high fuel prices.
We build high end hot rods and street rods. We are booked solid for many years and have a sizable waiting list. We can't find qualified employees,...
She's a beaut Clark!
That is too freakin hilarous...and fits no less.
I think I like the swiping a jackshaft off of a drill press idea best so far. brianangus's pully sizes will work jim dandy.
Just for shits and giggles because I have the flu and can't do math, I went out and measured the pulleys on my band saw. On mine, I have a 2"...
I like Vette motors in Hot Rods more than I do in Vettes myself. I think it's 2-4bbl cool.
llonning: Rheostats and AC motors don't get along too well, You can buy a Varistat for this very purpose, and my God they are expensive. Even with...
The jackshaft idea with a 3:1 reduction would solve all your problems
That's a 1:8 ratio works out to a tad over 688 fps. I have to confess, my calculation was off by a factor of 2...I screwed up. The ratio you...
What are we peeping through...the key hole of your garage door? Seriously, I feel like we've just ripped the fabric of the space-time continuum....
Let's just reverse engineer your problem: The 12" diameter wheels that drive the blade will feed the blade at a rate of 1 ft. (12") times Pi...
Anything will fit if you use the proper sized torch :)
I've done it many times. Never had a problem, never left it that way any longer than it took to place padded jack stands under the spring perches,...
