With the possible exception of a couple of kustom cosmetic steps, your advice is equally sound for a pre-war hot rod. When my son and I are...
"Cool" is definitely the right word choice here.
While that building design is "different" (about as tactful as I can put it), I agree with the comment that the money spent on the exterior would...
This thread is one of those times when I'm glad I am small. '30 A Coupe, 4" chop, no channel, 5'6", 145 lbs. Pretty puny for a bar fight...
Given that we've had two journal front page articles from Ryan this week, with no mention of problems, I guess he's OK. How about you other flood...
I'm with flatheadsmith on the spun aluminum moons on the steelies. Bigs 'n' littles for wheels and tires.
You are absolutely correct. When I started this thread, I was thinking of Ryan, but I'm sure many others are also having challenges. I should...
Even if OK, prolly many don't have power and haven't even seen this thread, let alone able to reply. Hopefully someone there will post soon....
Hmmm...no response on this since posted Saturday. Now I am beginning to become concerned. Anyone in that area care to give us an update?
I see lots of really bad flooding in Austin TX on the news this evening. Wondering how our Boss is doing. Everything OK for you?
Glad to be of help. And at 28" wide, it's almost 50% bigger than mine. Two electric fans? You'll be fine. Dunno if you've ever had a 455 Olds...
Cobalt, I can't help with what will fit the '56 Olds, but I have a 455 Olds in a Model A coupe. I am using a small Champion aluminum radiator in...
x2. Little details like that can really slow a project down. RE the big Olds, I hope you're already past the problems created because the...
Looks to me on that chart like there are actually three: ~5", ~5.5", and ~6". Wish I'd known that when I started my project!
Hey Cobalt, I hope I'm not too late to be of help here. I put a 455 Olds in my '30 coupe, ran into similar water pump issues. After I'd bought...
There are a few times in life when I am glad I am small. At 5'6" and 147, I am quite comfy in a 4" chopped coupe (no channel). Yet I still bang...
I noticed the photographer was Eric Rickman, in a 1954 Car Craft. I did not realize he'd been writing and photo shooting that far back - only...
Hurst Comp Plus 4spd shifter. Love rowing those gears, including double clutching for the downshifts (even tho not necessary)
[ATTACH] It sounds like you've settled on a '32, but I'll throw in one more reversed stocker pic just in case. It gains a lot of engine room and...
Wow, mid-Feb and here in the Tulsa area, gonna be 72º! A few of us on another forum are getting our rides out and cruisin' down to Mexicali...
As you might guess from my handle and avatar, I like 'em. Agreed on the visibility issue, but using LED 1157s helps (brighter). I also have an...
Well gents, this is a little off topic, but one of my faves for sound is an aircraft radial engine. We had A1Es flying cover for us on missions...
I have an early M20 behind a 455 Olds in a fenderless'30 A Coupe. Holds up just fine, and I am not kind to it. Damn I like bangin' gears! I did...
I had a '29 CCPU, currently have a '30 Coupe. On both, I cut out the bottom of the tank, used the face for mounting gages. Plenty of room, and I...
Hard to say whether my favorite threads are build threads or road trips. This one has been great - like others have said, we feel like we were...
Wow, what a surprise. I raced some at Fremont in '68-'69. never heard about any boat drags. Musta shut down mid 60s?
Every once in a while, something comes along in my life that makes me glad I 'm short (5'6"). Like flying on the airlines. Skinnying under a car...
Mine weren't brass - perhaps not original - and they did not drill out easily. Had an awful time of it I did manage to save the threads OK, but...
HEMINH2O, be sure to go to "Glassman" here on the HAMB for your glass. He has patterns. Products, service, pricing, and shipping are phenomenal....
An update on a related subject: The fixed glass (tempered, quarter windows and rear window). I was having a heckuva time trying to install...
