Contacted AAA when I needed my coupe moved from Ca. to S.D. After waiting 2 weeks to hear something from them I went with an independent who was...
Military aircraft surplus dealers. Small boots were used around lots of control rods & cables. I may even have a small boot out in my storage shed...
But what about us guys with bangers ? I have a couple of old greenhouse heat mats that I drape over my engine and plug in. They're designed to...
Of course a custom can look good without skirts. I personally find skirts ugly. If you're gonna go the skirt route, you might as well go with the...

Does it have a packing gland nut just below the adjusting knob ? If so, tighten the nut a little bit at a time until the hissing stops. Not more...
I'll take that blown Ardun over those modern engines any day.
Don't know if this will help, but here's a writeup on how the hydraulic clutch in my coupe was set up....
Role with your dreams, and keep the pics coming. What you have so far is looking good.
True, but it's listed as very good for ethanol. It also has a fairly low heat tolerance in the 200 degree range. But it's a good starting point....
I just did a quick search of adhesives. For phenolic the best bonding agent is Devcon HP 250. Here's the info sheet on it....
There are several types of phenolic resin boards. If you're using the type used in the electronic industry, it can be drilled & tapped. In...
I found mine in a wrecking yard / gas station near California City, Ca. in the mid 50's. It was a complete B engine with a rod hanging out the...
The first car I owned was a Model A with a hopped up banger. I was also 1/2 owner of a banger powered Model A roadster that we ran in the old X...
After taking a second look at the pics, the attachment for the top die looks pretty flimsy. Probably fine for cutting or nibbling, but IMO, not...
Don't know about magnetos on V8's, but I ran a Wico mag on my hot banger all through high school with no problems.
Beautiful car. My first car was a 28 sport coupe. Of course mine had a Fargo 4 port banger in it for more zip. I've always wished I'd kept that...
Here ya go B.A. King. there's all kinds of them. https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=mw&ei=SjKjVMucB6OjyAO6qoHIBg&ved=0CAQQqS4oAQ#q=solar battery...
Just looking gooder & gooder all the time. Can't wait to see it finished & on the road. Keep the pics coming.
Driving would be the ideal solution. But bias ply tires and snow / ice covered rutted gravel roads don't mix very well. My coupe is on jack stands...
Normally I would go out every 3 or 4 days and fire the banger up. Let it run for about 15 minutes and shut it off. But then winter set in. The...
Damn you HAMB. Without you I'd probably get more indoor jobs done in the winter.
Who's using what for a battery tender over the winter months ? Need recommendations for a good one. On my lawn tractor & wood chipper I'm using...
In the winter it stays below freezing in my garage. My banger hadn't been fired in almost 2 months. Yesterday I went out to crank it over and it...
I use good old fashioned Never-Dull. It'll put a shine on chrome, brass, aluminum and copper. Just don't let it stay on brass or copper very long...

If it's like most pin type connectors, there's a special set of pliers to crimp the wires to the pins, and another special tool to insert the pins...
If it was sectioned, it was a very small section. Wheel wells raised. Running boards mounted to the bottom of the body, and a very small custom...
I've got the sphere machines, and could turn knobs. One problem is finding large enough chunks to work with. That material is getting hard to...
