SOLD.
For Sale: 1930 Ford Model A Standard Coupe. Originally from Sealy, TX, the car was last driven in 1972, and taken apart in the Fall of 1972 with...
I just looked and I can't find any photos of where I worked on the front crossmember. I guess I didn't take any for some reason, or I...
PM me if you want to sell the front wheels and decide on a price. I'd like a set of those for my Willys, and that bolt pattern will fit it.
I thought some of you guys might want to hear what the flathead sounds like, so I made a short video of it firing up. [MEDIA] A lot of people...
Ron, they might be. I have two pairs, the ones I got from you and another pair I got from a local guy. I can't remember which ones are which...
Thanks! Every photo on this thread (aside from the really old pics) was taken with my phone.
It looks better in photos than it actually is. I guess you'd just need to see it in person, but it's far from perfect.
At about 6pm on June 2nd, I celebrated my 38th birthday by driving the car to 7-11 to put some gas in it. [ATTACH] I went back by the shop to...
WEEKS 5 - 10 Progress was going to be slow going over the next few weeks since I was playing catch-up in the shop. The first couple of things I...
[ATTACH] After it had cured overnight, I scuffed it up in prep for foam, and cut the "butt holes" in the bases for the furniture webbing....
I also filled and peaked an original '32 grille shell for the car. The shell that came with the roadster just needed too much work to get it back...
I'd been saving this '39 transmission that I had chromed and rebuilt back when I started building my '29 roadster. I didn't use it in that car,...
I was going to title this thread "11 Weeks to Glory", which is sort of a play on the "13 Days to Glory" and the siege on the Alamo. But to be...
I entered my new (beater) '32 Roadster for this year's TROG, and like everyone else I hope I'll be chosen. I've wanted to bring something to this...
Gear Vendors makes a nice OD set up, that's for sure. But one of their add on overdrive units is about $500 more than a brand new Tremec TKO600....
[ATTACH] Pistons for the 392 Hemi came in today. They are Ross forged domed pistons, which Ross stocks as a shelf piston in .030" over and .040"...
I do have a perfect ' 58 Ford grille if I can't find a good original '41 grille. Roadster went to Kansas City.
I don't have a lot to add to this thread just yet, but I'd like to give a quick update on the Willys. There really hasn't been much progress made...
I like canted quad headlights. They were a staple of customizing in the late '50s, which is a my favorite era of hot rodding. It pains me to...
BTTT. Still have it. New lower price.
*Sale Pending* For Sale: 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan. Here are some details: -'32 Tudor body: Comes with dash, dash tunnel, windshield frame, rear...
Thanks, boss!
These may have already been addressed, but if they have I didn't see it. 1.) Do the preview photos of attachments in a thread look really tiny...
I can remove the drums from the hubs on '40-41 Ford drums, and keep the studs so that they are re-usable, if they aren't already damaged. You...
Here ya go.
I'm wondering if this isn't an earlier rear...Like a '49- '53 Oldsmobile? It's definitely smaller than the measurements on the diagram above, so...
Thanks aojo. I think I have that issue, and I think that this is the same article:...
Mine looks shorter...right around 9". So I guess that means mine isn't a '54-56 Olds? I just went and crawled under it to take these photos....
I'm trying to determine which housing I have in my '41 Willys, and I can't seem to find any info on identifying a '57-64 Olds/Pontiac rearend...
