Sorry. This
This. An FJ Holden (but black & about 1953 I think). Just about every Aussie family had one at some stage. An Australian icon. Like the...
Cool. That's enlightened me now. I seriously wondered what it was all about. Funny how we have different sayings. BTW, we spell ass arse....
I've often wondered (not being from the US & all), what does Hokey Ass mean, and how does it relate to hotrods & customs? Louie
Hey Chris. This is a good site. Like picasso said, use the thread search thingo. I find it a bit hard to find stuff on there at time but...
That Chevy has been finished for a few years now. It came up really nice. All the work was done by the owner. He does some great work! I...
Here's a pic of my work in progress. Been a work with no progress for a couple of years, until the other day. The other one is a friend's Chevy...
Also, check out the P15-D24 Forum. Fly
Hey mate. Q. Aussie DeSoto or US model? 230 ci or 250ci? Not sure of an adapter to fit a 4 speed to the sidey 6 but you could probably fit an...
Only 1 car for you buddy. Chopped & lowered EK ute, 138 with twin carbies & a cam, split headers & 3 on the floor. Otherwise, another forum. Louie
Forgot to attach the image. Louie
Hey mate. I got a 54 dodge and had this problem a few years ago. I tried all the supposed "ways" to get it off. I ended up making a puller like...
Just a quickie. I'm going to have a go at splitting my exhaust manifold soon. Q. Is it OK to tack everything together and then preheat, or...
When I was in high school (years ago now) a guy told me that Cadillac built a V9 engine. He was a friggin expert on everything this dude! My...
So, engine number location. where's that too?
Thanks guys, you are all legends. I learned a bit about Fords myself now. I'll pass it all on to my mate. Cheers
XC. 1974 I believe. Louie
So didn't they do a 302 Cleveland? I understand these engines were made in Australia (from imported tooling and patterns I assume). Like I said,...
A mate of mine has bought himself an OT Ford Fairmont (like a mid spec Aussie Falcon) with a 302, 9" & auto. He asked me if a. it's a Cleveland...
What we do at work when we need to remove a broken stud, bolt, etc. is firstly determine why it broke off. I'e. seized (as in galled threads,...
Guys, thanks for all the info. Gives me something to work with. BTW holeshot (FLY...have you been sucking ACID! HA!...POP.)) I always remove the...
I'd reckon more a 36 as the 37 on had full fat guards whereas the 35/36 had those double shape jobs. TJR was at Keswick where LeCornues is now....
Greetings from the not so sunny Adelaide Hills. Nice ute! Louie
Nope! I like the car though. Nice colour, but if it were mine I'd lose the flames. But it's not mine is it. Hope you get it sorted and drive...
I know this might sound like a dumb arse question, but what type of hose clamps were around in the 50's? Reason I ask is that I will be replacing...
Great advice. I found this helped me stay motivated, but also allowed me to drive the car. I also agree - keep the inliner. But I am biased coz...
I tried to remove the water distribution tube in my 230 Dodge today (amongst other things) but it's really stuck. Anyone got a good solution to...
