I'd rather have a breaker/fuse pop than a wire short and start a fire, wouldn't you? Building cars for customers, you never know what they're...

Be aware, it's illegal in many states to "alter" a license plate. That said, you'd have to run into a pretty crappy cop to give someone some flack...
That is cool!!!
Don't let anyone talk you out of making the Hemi work. There's nothing "exotic" about it compared to any other engine. Machine work is machine...
With that compression ratio, I would look at a little cheater blower or other forced induction apparatus to get the HP numbers up.
This is correct, but not really applicable when it comes to wire size from battery to starter as this is going to be larger that most alternators...
There's been a Tom McMullen bio in the works for years, that, if it ever gets printed, will be quite the read. Cool stuff!
Yup!
Depends on what caliper you're looking at, but the GM Metric caliper is basically a single piston caliper whereas the Wilwood is probably going to...
I will second your idea of mounting the fuse panel in the trunk, having done so on a dozen or more builds in recent years. Makes a much more...
Put the fuse panel and other assorted stuff in the trunk behind the seat. I've wired a couple roadsters that way and it works great. I use Coach...
Serial numbers on engine/trans is useless. CA wants to see the VIN stamped on the frame and if you don't have any paperwork, even that is...
I would replace the binary switch with a trinary so the fans come on with the A/C.
Can you access the inside of the fender/sill area? You might have to make something to back your body hammer up in there. I wouldn't hesitate to...
Call Fat Man Fab (704) 545-0369) They offer 5x5.5-inch packages and should be able to help you ID what you have and what rotor you need to make...
I wouldn't hesitate to swap out the stock suspension for a bolt-in/weld-in front clip or crossmember setup from a reputable aftermarket company....
I second the "rewire first" approach. That wiring mess would require more time to diagnose and identify the circuits than it would to rip out and...
Yes.
I took an empty 4-71 blower case to a reputable blower shop and he filled it with parts and set it up for $800. Wouldn't pay more than a few...
This is an option for the mag look with EFI... https://eclipseengineeringmags.com/
The difference is those examples were setup from the factory that way. The '48 Cadillac in question was not. Will it work? Probably, it's just...
I saw that too, huge red flag. I'd put that master on the shelf and find a properly-sized dual.
After you verify that the floats are adjusted correctly, fuel pressure is correct, and that the needles aren't sticking open, disconnect the...
I think that was in reference to the engine/trans combo.
Have you seen the "Craft of Speed" documentary?
I agree and you couldn't get there from here on the 2 these days anyways! From South LA/OC, we've always taken the 15 route to avoid traversing...
The mics don't even need to be accurate. Measure the piston with the mic and lock it down, insert the dial bore gauge inside the mic and zero it...
