I've had good luck with the older "do it best" bits that ace hardware sales. I havent been in a while, but these worked in an industrial setting...
The guy who did that work will probably get a TV deal. I get so sick if seeing shops butcher cars up and do this type of work. That guy didn't...
Jack explains it well. I replaced my one wire alternator with an ac delco I had from an ot car Saturday morning. I'm running the 3-wire hook up...
I have sensa tracks on my 54, from a mid-80's g-body, and it rides fine for me. Mines lowered about 5" front and rear. As far as body roll, you'll...
308ss or 316ss for either will work fine.
The 441's and similar heads are used in limited racing applications here in the south. I wouldn't dump them, someone may want a good set of heads...
I lowered mine about 5" front and rear fairly cheap. Step the front arms, plenty of threads on this, and cut 2 coils off the front springs. The...
If I had to do it over I would run the dual carb setup. In another post you were thinking of running the Clifford. I have that set-up with a...
I recently redid the entire brake system on mine. New master, hose, lines and cylinders. Wasnt too expensive and it stops pretty darn good. I...
Don't know any notable cars he painted, but he did pinstripe every chevy truck in town back in the late 80's.
Sorry I missed this earlier; I think I may be able to give some usable advice. I live and work in the Houston area, been in the construction and...
There should be little to no stiction at the bushing. The bushing should just hold the bar in place and should have no bearing on the swaybar...
Very nice truck. Any build pictures?
Also not known by many Mr. Borgnine was a Freemason and a 33rd° Scottish Rite Mason. The Supreme Council awards the 33° as a way of honoring...
I lowered mine 5" or so front and rear. Stepped arms and cut coils up front and I don't remember having to trim the stops. When you cut the coils...
Thanks
I recently did the ipod thing in my 54'. What started as a simple install with a small 2 channel amp and small speakers using the factory grill...
Mine is 21-3/4" from the center of the wheel well to the ground. Running 205/70-15 on the stock rim. No rubbing that I can think of, but I...
Welcome from Beach City. Good Luck with your search.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, I knew a guy that built engines and did the same thing; start it and run the hell out of it. I just remembered...
The guy Ryan was describing sounds a lot like me; except for the bumper stickers. LOL Ive been trying to buy Made in the USA for some time now....
Toss the flex fan. Find a 4 blade from an old GM diesel; I think GM still has these new. Buy or build a shroud, this is the most important item...
This might be a shot in the dark. A few months ago I was coming home, turned in to the neighbor hood and saw a 56' Chevy on the side of the road...
It's under the floor board by the brake pedal , it has a little arm that swings when hit by the brake pedal arm(i guess that's what you call it).
I had the same problem. I cleaned the socket and the other end with a scotchbrite pad. Works fine now.
I have the same headers running to a 3 merge into a flowmaster 40 series muffler, Clifford intake and Holley 2 brl. It has a unique sound of its...
The amp is huge and heavy, I think it lowered the car another inch. Crappy pics, unfinished. I'm planning to redo the deck once I get a few...
Great job Carl. :) I'm using the same amp you have. I found that amp real cheap so I figured I would purchase two sets of 6-1/2" also. What...
I ran mine with open headers for a few minutes after I finished the y-pipe, sounded like a tractor; couldn't get the muffler on there fast enough.
I got tired of reading so I don't if it was mentioned except for the post above, but every “portable welder” I know has a heli-arc...
