I saw the write up in Street Rodder magazine last night. Thanks for the awesome pictures here, whoever did the SR article didn't do the truck or...
Find a local carquest and buy Dupont products. They're quality and will do a nice job for you. PPG is also good.
Come on, think about it. Your limiting factor is going to be the tires. It's not like somebody manufactures speed rated tires for those rims.
Only two kinds of employees exist, good and bad. Simply put, those who care, and those who are watching the clock. I've discovered that no amount...
A voice of reason.
Do it the easy way, throw it on a car dolly and pull the driveshaft. Best solution all around.
If you like a 32 5 window, then go for it. Don't be misled however about this purchase being a once in a lifetime sort of event. Firstly, life...
This is killer, it would be awesome to see some more pictures of what happened next.
There is no reason to entirely discount higher fuel efficiency ideas. The fact of the matter is there are hundreds of patents for these types of...
That is an amazing job on the firewall, excellent looking. It must be a mustang toploader perhaps, judging by the short tail shaft? Is it awkward...
That's a steal. Sell the drive train and laugh all the way to the bank.
Model A pickup?
[ATTACH] A damn fine starting point, it already looks 10x better with 35 wheels on it.
They're not going to bother you on an old car, unless you are drawing attention to yourself. That being said, you could get the one gung ho guy on...
The caveat on that may well be the first sentence. If that fender law has only been on the book since 1975, it would seem clear cut. Then again, I...
The cost to have the tooling made would be easily close to six figures.
As per the Fastenal website:...
Shitty deal. Who knew model a fenders were so hard to find though?
[ATTACH] Man, I thought I was a paranoid person. The only reason I saw this post was because it happened to be the featured post when I checked...
I bought a setup from him and he built me a custom intake manifold to boot. It took 4 or 5 months, but so what? I got exactly what I wanted and it...
Impact guns don't belong anywhere near lug nuts.
It's a goddamned pain the ass though when you have to do a brake job, or an axle seal, or a gear change.

Does anyone have one of these on their car yet in operation?
I don't see the big deal. But, I have only black upholstery. However, I always look at the seat before I sit down.
Do you have any more pictures of the front wishbone mounts and just of the frame in general? Any side pictures? I think you nailed it perfectly.
Did they resolve their tooling/casting issues?
It's a lot cheaper to visit a project or car in person and return home not purchasing it, than it is to buy it sight unseen and be unhappy.
They are being reproduced in metal. Full fenders or patches. I've bought patches, they are exceptional. The guy is a craftsman....
Are you doing the machining, or is the foundry delivering machined parts? What kind of production run do you expect to see? An initial batch of...
