A little late, I know, but I just found the thread... We did a 500 in a '56 and I researched the pressures. I found that the stock '56 was the...
doesn't someone sell a 5-hole unilug version of the modern insta-flate style spares? The ones that collapse down and you air them up with a CO2...
Ditto. I think I just found the pattern for my first wheel :D Wow.
I think there would be some interest. I am interested, anyway. Haven't built one yet (hopefully this summer) - the more designs I have to look at,...
I'm assuming you mean full disc caps, because the center caps for the Kelsey Hays cast spokes don't seem to fit ANYTHING. Or rather, I can't find...
Apparently, West Virginia is trying to make it a misdemeanor, with punishment up to and including jail time, to have an inoperable vehicle on...
Sorta OT, 70 car, 70s paint (actually been repainted the same 3 times since then). I don't like the color of the lettering on the new paint,...
My '53 Buick has a button that the key goes into to unlock the door, on the stock handles. You could use that button mechanism with the lock in...
That's awesome. What does that reluctor / pickup come from?
Oh yeah - and I like your little tool for holding the wires. Gotta build one of those asap. My store-bought one is a little bulky for under the dash.
- A good solder joint is less resistance and more reliable than your average 'aftermarket' automotive crimp connector is capable of. In most...
Normal oversizes are .010" ('ten over'), .020" ('twenty over'), etc, not .100" ('one hundred over'), .200" ('two hundred over'), etc. 4" bore is...
Swan neck mirror? Those ones for pickups that mount to the door hinge pin and have about a 10 inch long neck with sort of a tapered 's' curve to...
The pushrods should be solid, and the lifters should not have oil holes in the top where the pushrod goes. There should still be a provision for...
Nice pics, thanks. I also found http://www.hotrodcaddy.com/speed_parts.htm from a link posted by _Charles_ in another thread. Enjoy.
The rockers don't look all that bad. I have re-used worse. You can replace them with reconned rockers of several different types, but you have to...
I would love some pictures of all of the various stuff you have, and I'm sure some of the other guys would as well. :D
Trademarks only expire if you quit using them. Patents do expire. There are lots of rules and variations, and i don't generally advocate directly...
Yeah, that must be it :eek:
All emblems and logos are trademarked. I don't know the expiration rules - they haven't used that early style one in a lot of years. But the crest...
Can't be stock - there is no such thing as an OHV Cadillac with factory adjustable rocker arms. I am not positive, but I beleive the same goes for...
Wrecker, that sucks. I hope you get her back together. Guitar guy - go here http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65684 I love this...
I like Piero's too. They are probably stock covers with dimples added, and them chromed. Not to step on my own toes, but this is the Hamb. There...
How long until 70s rides are traditional? I can't wait for the pimp ride revival ! Especially with pink tyres.
90* adapters seem to be in the 1 1/2" to 2" range. However, if you are that tight for space, you can always modify the tailshaft. I have seen a...
Sounds to me like you are agreeing with the engineers on this one :D HRV - maybe you could find a finned aluminum tranny pan or something that...
Cool - if I can get a hold of them, I will see if they make the Caddy covers. Not holding my breath, and not sure I would abandon this project...
I expect pricing to be ~ $250-$275 plain. They are smaller than the big 500 covers (which are $255), but it's a brand new tool that has to be...
Incidentally, the company we are working with on this project, already makes a plain 500 cover - I am hoping, if these go over well, to make a...
The Chevy covers with Caddy script are already in existence, so I used them for illustrative purposes since they are very close in design to the...
