I'm writing a paper for school about the origins of hot rodding and the attitudes that went with it. I would like to include some first hand...
Thank you all very much. Those are just the kind of sources I was looking for. I guess I'll be making a trip to Borders today!
I got laid off in December, no work, no options, so I took the plunge and went back to school. I'm writting my semester paper on the origins of...
love the dash! car looks killer man.
Another bonus is that the windshield posts are still there. They're often cut off a doodle bug it seems.
Sure it's a good start. A cowl is as good a place to start as any. All we had to start with when we built this was a rusty old cowl. I wish...
The boss just bought a 31' Cad and I'm trying to source a replacement oil filter. Any one? Thanks!
Too high? Is there such a thing? I like it the height it is, just poke some headers out of those fenders to fill the gap! :D
I LOVE you guys at Coker. Where else can you get Redline Firestones and 20" Pro-Tracs(for the 52' GMC), WWW (for the Model A), and 560-15 1"...
Heres 3 Model A: Before [IMG] After [IMG] 52': Before [IMG] After, or now I should say. I have big plans... [IMG] Straight axle Bug:...
Very clean ride. I love it. You keeping it hood free?
I'm in the "just lower it" camp. Sweet ride.
Coker, even before the discount.
On a bike you can also stand a little and use your legs as a sort of "suspension" for your body. Tough to do in a car.
There'sa couple in this thread. Not wagons but neat Edsels just the same. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82339&highlight=edsel
This is the best way to do an Edsel in my opinion :D [IMG] [IMG] Just messing with you I'm an Edsel fan myself. Particuraly the 58'. I was...
Hey thanks alot. But I'm asking about the front to back angle. I'm thinking that the shock should be on the same angle as the spring pad, as in...
For the straight axle bug. Do we want to have the shock at the same angle as the front axle (this is what makes sense to me) or do we want it...
There's nothing wrong with those welds...
Gasser... Did you really have to ask? :D
Thanks for the update on MY new mill man! Looks great :D
New England Dragway is in Epping about a half an hour from Concord. They have something going on every weekend and a "street night" every wed. and...
That's funny. The guy where I load my work truck said he wants a ride when it's finished. I just grinned and said "are you sure?" I think he's...
Yeah, we could always go that route too... :D
Thanks for the kind words guys. Yeah the big block is staying for sure. And yes it will be full fendered. We might even put the trim back on, I...
Yeah, I've seen that car before. When I was growing up there was a local parts store that had one of those van kits on thier company car. It was...
If you want to draw a picture I'll take it. We haven't ever tried to put a radiator in the back of anything before. Any ideas are welcome....
This is going to be steet driven as well guys, so we'll have to keep it cool. With the sbc we could have sqeezed the rad in the front but not with...
No room for the rad in the front. It'll go in the engine compartment, or the old engine compartment I guess. There's a BIG empty space back there!...
Actually the Bugs roof is kinda short and curved and it'll most likely be green or blue... :rolleyes: but thanks for the suggestion :D
