Facinating post. I'm a youngin'. I work in pro stock, I love my job, but I'm never happier at work than when the older guys at work get to talking...
Not trying to nitpick, but isn't a '53 and F-100?
What kind of truck? If it's something common, there might be an aftermarket part that would suit your needs.
The '32 frame doesn't have to be pinched to fit under a '31, only the '28-'29's. Little Dearborn has nice Model A parts too....
You know why Tigger smells? He plays with poo.
My bulldog eating a nyla-bone.
Tough question... it all depends on your combo. Your engine is like an eco system in that everything effects everything else. But you asked for a...
No need to pinch. My late '31 Sedan is on deuce rails and it fits perfectly at the cowl with no pinching.
One of the most important benifits of running a 4-link is the ability to adjust your instant center(mentioned before.) This is the imaginary point...
You guys do know not everyone who dresses like a greaser is in it for the cars right? I've heard rants like this before and there are people who...
resealing?
When you see Mutt, tell him to get a job!
Bad idea. If you have no rear suspension, the only ways your car can adapt to what would be a load on the suspension is tire deflection and frame...
Spring perches "could," but probably shouldn't. The caster angle is net degrees (in relation to the ground) so it's kind of hard to say what...
1994 Lingenfelter ZR-1: 750hp, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, stock t-56 transmission. It is my understanding that the T-56 in a Camaro/Firebird is...
Lucky1974 has one. I'll bug him to post.
Bummer.
Those look like Doug Larou's projects. Try metalmeet.com and find a guy named Dutch Comstock. He teaches all over place and is really...
Well, it depends on what has been done to your engine. I will guess from your post that this engine isn't really crazy, so what you will need is a...
DP50 primer, simple roll bar, black steelies with wide whites, cam out your 327with some gears to match, and get some louder exhaust. Think of...
about 4 degrees
7" for ya'.
Nothing less than 1.5", .120" wall DOM if steel. If you are going to use 4130, nothing less than 1.5", .065" wall. There's not alot of point in...
If it's a 30-31, turn it inside out and you will gain about 6". If that's too much, Bitchin' makes nice stuff.
When it's built to be safe, not always the coolest, the frame will bottom out on the suspension or a built-in snubber before it hits the ground....
Please, has anyone done this?
That's the transmission spark regulator, very important. It keeps things from shorting out to the flychassis.
Great time, man.
Looking good J, you should start looking for some cool induction for that Caddy before you really need it and wind up paying through the nose for...
If you're doing stainless, check out places like Wicks Aircraft. They have really nice stuff and the prices are reasonable.
