Brilliant! Spare front fenders offer a whole new dimension to rearend styling. Subscribed!
The cover of HRM, early 70s -- maybe 1971. It was a Mustang funny car. I think it was called the Sidewinder. Ford SOCH transverse mounted. By...
Pretty cool!
Sounds like a really fun idea. Have you made scale sketches to see if it will really look like what you're imagining? How much fabrication...
Please be really careful if you try to it burn it. I've had too many close calls when doing stupid things when I was younger. I'm surprised...
A few ideas I didn't see tried yet, in order of what I'd try... 1) Have you confirmed that the spark gaps are correct? 2) Get some of...
Like another commentator said... When I saw the title and the author, I hoped that nothing strange would happen that cool truck. But, Wow!...
It that thing part VW? Like as in the doors and rear quarters? The me the cowl should flow differently. I'm not sure how, but should be...
Awesome!
Excellent skills! Excellent tutorial. Thanks for producing that video.
Sweeeeet project! Is that MerCruiser valve cover?
x2 on the vac hose. I had a problem once with the vacuum line to the modulator on a TH400 in a Jeep: Reved really high and shifted 1-2 with a...
Man, oh, man Google is fast. Did a quick search and THIS thread came up first. I wonder if a plain round one were flexible enough if it would...
Glad no one was hurt and the car is ok. IMHO, the '63 Fords are the finest looking of that era.
Congrats!
Cool stuff. You wonder what alternative production plans manufacturers (or the DoD) have now-a-days...
Awesome boat. Nice price, too!
Nice trucks! Great story. Cool motor. I built a 390 for a '72 a few years back. I learned how to drive on a '66, but it was beige with...
Does anyone who sells finishes rebuilt cranks list a core charge? That sounds like a fair market value to me. Assuming someone does that still...
That's some pretty ambitious fab work. I have to admit you had me pretty worried when I saw the pic of the empty shell.
As I remember it, the HEI has an internal current limiter that maxes out at 5.5 amps. It's all automatic so you don't need any ballast resistor....
My dad drove a green '50 Special in the '60s when we were growing up. I think ours may have been a 2-dr, though. Is your avatar the finished...
I just found this thread. Amazing metal work and speed. My dad drove a 1950 Buick Special all through the '60s, so I'm glad you are able to save...
Awesome car, sweet story, too. I love the lines and the flow. If Ford had made them look like this back then, GM would have had a much, much...
Wow!
Lots of work to replace the wood -- even more to replace the wood with steel tubing. Buyer beware.
I'd definitely vote for this one first. Then check the other easy stuff (plugs, wires, etc). Then think about timing chain, as it happened...
Great planning. Great organization. Great execution. Excellent documentation. Totally professional. It's fun to watch your progress.
If you have a wear issue then the extra ZDP may help you, but on the flip side I've read that it does also increase friction (cuts fuel economy...
The car looks excellent! I hadn't seen any activity for a while, so it's great to see it active again.
