I'd keep an eye on that fuel filter, I had one, it started leaking, and I couldn't stop it from leaking. Heard a few similar complaints from...
Looking good, have you thought about putting some sort of black screen behind the grill to kind of hide the electric fan, and radiator?
No welding on any brake drum no matter what material it's made from!
When you think about it each cylinder makes a lot more than 100 psi during combustion, so inside the engine it shouldn't hurt anything (unless...
An alternative way instead of the v-dub transaxle http://www.flickr.com/photos/9255485@N04/sets/72157600488919503/
Very nice!
Everything you want to know about Ford 144-250, and 240 & 300 Inline 6's https://www.fordsix.com/
Looking good, I've seen some people miss fit some stuff by a lot more than a 1/4" on their first shot (your doing good).

You should be able to find some different pistons to drop the compression to around 9.0:1. Hopefully it doesn't need to be re-bored if it's...
A Topo makes a VW look big.
Neat build, I have an old pr of "no name" 18x8x8 jr dragtser slicks for a 12.90 jr (they are basically golf cart tires with no tread), if you want...

Nice work on fixing that rear door.
Looking good!
The hood came out pretty nice (setting something on fire while welding on a car is almost a right of passage).
Here in Texas 2.3's are still in abundance.
Looking really good, going to try to find some donor rear floor pan, or do you already have one?
The longer the wheel base, the longer the car has time to settle down from the time the front axle hits a bump until the rear axle hits the same...
Tell me about it, seems like I can find one when I don't have the $$, then when I have the $$ there isn't one to be found. I've been thinking...
It was traumatizing for me to (and it's not even my car :eek: )!
Finding steel fenders for a Topo that aren't trashed is a feat in itself, the stretch is coming out pretty good so far. Once it's all roughed in...
All the header rap does is make the headers rust out much faster.
I wonder if the hood sides could be pushed out 1/2" on each side at the front to meet the grill, looks like it would lessen the hood to cowl...
So far it looks better than I thought, when you look straight down the body line from the front how does it look?
Anyplace tubing is welded to factory sheetmetal it should have atleast 1/8" thick x 6"x6" plate welded on first. Tech would probably flunk it the...
The flathead fits the look of the car better.
After studying it if you move the grill/front fenders out 10", then make the 10" addition the hood would need to be widened about 1 1/16", a 1/2"...
I think the first step is adding the 10" to the front of the hood. The grill could be narrowed, but it's already pretty narrow as it is, plus you...
