Do it. A sway bar is a good upgrade to the front end of any ride. I put one on my 39 Ford (straight axle) and it was a different car. Of course...
Adjust rear shoes to light drag when spinning by hand. To check this, put on your parking brake a couple clicks to see if the pedal feels better
I did a bonded title once because the title I had was not notorized and the owner on the title was long dead. Sure I coulda found a shady notary...
Crazy! I parked next to a guy at Stray Kat who someone chucked a rock at his car from the curb and broke the windshield, thought that might have...
They make a little paint thickness reader. I had one when I was in the car business. If I was at an auction I could tell pretty quick if there was...
[ATTACH] @BigJoeArt glad to be a new member of the club, but the initiation was kinda weird. :D
350 miles round trip to Dewey Ok for the Stray Kat 500. Did great! 16 MPG running 75, turning 2800 ish rpm. TH400 still a little overfull as it...
Larry, Larry, & Bonnie. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
2” loweringblocks in the rear[ATTACH]
Don’t forget the dog[ATTACH]
Yeah I found out the hard way that Fiestas have a lot of dish to them, the wheel needs to have some negative offset.
Man that’s a bummer. Mounting and balancing is not cheap these days either! Just switched wheels and it was $30 a tire plus tax I’ve had several...
[ATTACH] New chrome Steelies installed! Ready for the Stray Kat 500 this Weekend! [MEDIA][ATTACH]
I can throw my steering wheel puller in the trunk…
This thread rules! Subscribed!
Might be hard to retrieve though: [MEDIA]
I changed jobs and moved to Oklahoma last summer, if that wouldn’t have happened that roadster would have been in my garage! I get it though. I’m...
I think the front bumper was a signature piece for the car, as I rarely if ever see the bullets removed, but the stocker looks good too.
I considered that but I needed to mount it on its side.
I have a Braille 2015. This is my second Braille. It’s got a little more umph than an odyssey pc680 but fits in a pc680 mounting box with small...
34 is lookin right Dave! I want in on the common kit build!

Went by there on Friday. There was a 40 Deluxe Tudor sedan by the fence and a few other cars I don’t care about. They probably want $10k for the...
Still looks killer. I remember you fogged a little color in the center of your wheels? I've got a set of chrome reverse for mine and might like to...
[ATTACH] So, the gauges have a been a situation for a while now. The original temp gauge died over 25 years ago because when I got the car in 2006...
Early Corvette wheel looks nice! [ATTACH]
Praying for you man, lost my pops 19 years ago and it still feels like yesterday, but the pain does lessen with time. I spent the morning “with my...
If I had a place to put it, I'd try to buy it for 2k or less. That's what they ask for field cars these days.
There are so many unanswered questions with this car... it's like assuming all used engines are cores.
Since owning an early Corvette is a pipe dream, much less the possibility of a custom one, I decided to build my own in 1/25 scale. Taking...
