I've seen SBC headers modified to fit the Y-Block, but it might be a bit of work getting them to fit a Windsor. -Dave
Ether? Only use that on something you don't care about. -Dave
^^^ What are the sizes? -Dave
Fake box in the trunk and fake cables running to some out of sight location near the wheel well. Real battery, mini style of course, hidden under...

Agreed, a small light modern battery mounted on the firewall above the starter would probably be the best idea these days. Here's my problem with...
That doesn't sound to far off from what I paid 30 years ago. -Dave
I'm not sure if the 352 pistons would a whole lot cheaper than the 361 pistons. Both would be considered a slow moving item. When I put together a...
I thought I knew that, but couldn't remember if I actually did. Thanks all! -Dave
There might be some interchange between your Edsel and the '58 & '59 Fords even if not mentioned in a catalog. Someone here will know for sure. -Dave
Will polarity make a difference with the amp gauge? -Dave
Careful there, flatheads like hemi's can be addictive. -Dave
I was thinking something more like Dykem blue and a hand chisel since I don't own a table saw. Also think dlw1932 used marine grade plywood on the...
If I'm remembering right the board that dlw1932 made were "relieved" on the underside. Think this was for clearance for the top of the...
I'm thinking US Royal 560-15 front and BFG 820-15 rear for my fenderless roadster project. Sort of an early/mid 60's type look. No pictures except...
That's good to hear. I've always liked Permatex #2, thanks. -Dave
Wouldn't the sealer affect the torque reading of the bolts and how did you compensate for this? -Dave
I've read about the foil balls to check clearance between the head and piston over on the Barn, but have wondered something about that. The ball...
I remember seeing "street stocks" race on a quarter mile oval out in Denver years ago. Most of them looked like they were held together with...
Can't really tell from the photo, but the rear bumper doesn't look all rotted out. The rear bumper seems to be one of the 1st things to go on the...
Decades ago I found the remains of a '32-34 Ford truck behind a grain elevator just east of the Kansas Colorado line. Full fendered. Old white &...
Thank you, both. Hope we haven't chassed carterjamisonl off. It must be rough with all the new members showing up everyday. As I've said before...

Bump. -Dave
No matter how prepared you are it's always hard. I'm glad you were able to make the trip. -Dave
I figured someone read the fist post, or part of it, and hit report without really looking at the thread. -Dave
Just going to open it up to read the recent comments and it was gone replaced with the ERROR message. Sure the op mentioned VW & kit cars, but...
My employer for the last 11 years (a new car dealership) decided the best thing for them to do was kick out everyone they could. They made it...
Sucks about your friend, it's good for the both of you that you were able to make the trip. Thanks for the pictures even though they remind me...
