Since you are going to keep the drum brakes, and you said the drums are turned past the max diameter, I would strongly suggest you take the drums...
You are in way over your head with the questions you are asking about steering boxes. Plenty of cars came from the factory with the engine offset....
Great story. i have been across the country 7 times by hot rod and will do it again when I have the chance.
Pretty ballzy cutting & welding a roof that isn't bolted to a solid & square foundation!
Really a great job! Now you need to follow it up with the burned building the day after the fire with all the melted cars laying around.
Thought I would share a story about this even though it is an old thread. I met a guy at the SoCal second Saturday swap meet here in Phoenix...
No, the one Lucky had was a 33 Willys which was also run by Hrudka. The one I'm talking about is a Thames and the back door is a 68 Camaro hood...
There is also a Thames panel that was raced by Hrudka Brothers sitting in a garage in the same town of Erie Pa. It's been owned by the same guy...
That car has been sitting in the same location 5 doors up from my mothers house. It was raced at the Wattsburg drag strip owned by my uncle under...
It won't be a "10" till you make the first cruise through downtown Quartzsite!
Sorry guys, just my opinion. I did know him otherwise I wouldn't have an opinion. I have been in magazine articles in the past and will be in the...
It's unfortunate that he gets all the credit when he never turned the wrenches. He had a great crew doing all the work. At least Boyd had the...
I'm still thinking about the $500 bucket with a slant 6 that will be road worhty! Things must be different in Florida. Wow
This time of year there is constant car shows, swap meets and cruises all over the valley. Check it out at... Cruisin' Arizona Car Shows and...
This is such a great threat. I have only been here about ten years but have met a few of the guys mentioned here- Tom Yeager does in fact have...
I don't have a pic, but the best 40 ever is the one built by Sam Gregory. Surely somebody must have a pic.
Stop by the shop and I will hook you up with some good guys. Bell glass is the guy for sure. And Glen for sure www.vintageautorepair.net
Surprising, they are usually a great company to deal with. And I don't want this to sound like a lecture but you should always ask if the parts...
As everyone else has said a rust free 40 is really hard to find especially for that kind of money. But, is that all the money you have? Do you...
Those cars were never really gassers, they were either super stockers or FX altered wheelbase cars.
Spal yes, Zirgo no.
Every year it amazes me how many people don't know the difference between color & black & white. READ THE DAMN RULES
Now that you have had a thorough HAMB thrashing you know what everyone expects. So, the car show is over I vote for more pictures of Emily just...
What a mess
Always weld everything complete if you don't, your body work will crack in between the welds. And not to be a wise guy but does your customer...
All the above is good advice. You also want to make sure you are pushing the piston far enough. Depending on you set up, maybe you aren't getting...
Well Megan, if you remember I offered you a job but you blew me off because I didn't have an ocean near by! So far everything has gone well, we...
Way to go Kenny, glad to see you're back!
Thanks, I'll do that.
I know this is a weird one, but has anyone done this? I have a really nice 33 coupe coming into the shop and the guy wants to keep the original...
