I saw one at Frog Follies that wasn't chopped, but the owner channeled it over the frame and it looked really good.
I have a couple of spindles that were represented to me as 46-48 Ford spindles. They don't measure up right, though. The distance between backing...
Willys36, so your set screw is hidden on the end of the axle. Very nice. I like that detail. What size set screw can you recommend? Prewar, the...
Them's some big words in that post Ned. You sound like an engineer and I had to think hard. :) No, it appears to be 1 tube with no welded ends....
Thank you. Maybe I need to look a little closer. there is something on the back side of the axle and I thought it was for a grease zerk. Any clue...
I've got a front tube axle that came with the T project. I haven't seen one with gussets on it like this one so I don't know who made it, and the...
If it's calcium, it is just like your coffee pot. You should e able to put some white vinegar on it and it will "boil". Put it in vinegar and...
I'd still haul out that Power Wagon up front.
Well in here in Illinois it helps a lot to have one. The State is suspicious.
Just like a coffee pot, soak the heads in white vinegar and water. If it boils and fizzes it is calcium buildup. Do it to my humidifier all the...
Rear end is busy enough that if you shaved the rear door handles I might have to do a double-take. Cool looker.
There is a limit on what can be paid for an old grille, or a Vicky. There are enough talented metalshapers around that a perfect copy could be...
66 GTO ragtop. 389 Powerglide 4 bbl Yellow. Dustiest thing to ride in at the farm. Grandpa passed in 83. The goat is still in the barn, never for...
I know this is an ancient thread, but I used the search feature. Is this VIN checking, title pulling, and inspecting still going on in Illinois?
I got a great cowl. I've got nice doors. I just can't find any steel from the doors back!
33 Mopar convertible is hard to get.
Thanks!
Mad skills! And that's the biggest English wheel I've ever seen.
I was going through some of my old posts and I couldn't find my introduction. So.....I'll post one here. My first name is Rob and I am in the St....
That's some beautiful work on that rear quarter. Looks factory.
Now there is Hot Dam! heat stop compound. My brother is a pipefitter and he uses it to keep heat transfer down. Reuseable also. Just none of the...
I'm aware of the patch panels available as I have purchased some of them. But I would like to make my own quarter pieces. Hard to beat that bead...
Ugh. I remember all that rust in all the same places. Mine still has some of that rust. Beautiful work on this one though! I like the floor and...
Rears are 5 on 4 3/4 and i figure chevy would be easiest to find with what I got around. Chassis is a 23 T with 40-48 spindles on a 4" drop tube...
The Easter car show is a beautiful event with a great turnout every year.
I live in the St. Louis area. Missouri is fairly collector car friendly. They do require safety inspections but i don't know what the cutoff year...
Is there no other option to get some hubs on my 42-48 ford spindles than a brake kit from speedway? I really just want to get this bucket chassis...
I love going to swap meets. My wife doesn't. My secret is to stay ALL DAY when she is with me. She's bored stiff and is only there to check up on...
I was always told that disc brakes should never be used with an I Beam axle. I pray for a full recovery.
