Awesome! Thank you for the offer! I'll certainly take you up on the dizzy cap!
That's pretty much the plan. Tires, 6 volt battery, a carb rebuild kit will get it running (I think). The wiring harness is in really rough...
Stoked doesn't cover it! And, after 5+ years together, I don't have to bullshit the GF. I'd be lying if there weren't some buyers remorse...
Thanks! My dad had a 36 ford when I was a kid - Columbia overdrive, Southwind heater... but this is my first prewar project.
So... yeah. I bought a Model A. I think a lot of us poke around on eBay doing shopping for stuff we don't need or can't have. For example, I...
um... no. Ball joint spacers do not add any height. To the original post: I have ball joint spacers (increased suspension travel but NO...
Night drags would be pretty sweet...
I hope I can make this one.
Wow... this brings back memories. My first ride was a hand-me-down '76 1/2 ton chevy with 4.11 gears, auto and 250 six. The gas milage was...
Here's another vote for Tempe. I'm in South Tempe. I'm in a small subdivision that does not have an HOA, does have alleys and real mail boxes -...
I wanted an Olds/Pontiac rear end for my '55... I wanted one bad. I looked for a while but decided to just go with a new 9 inch Ford. I went 1...
Wow. Thank you for the compliment! I wish I saw this when it was posted back in December. This is one of my favorite pics of my '55 (now with...
I saw it on Netflix. It's definately worth watching.
I mixed sizes and I think it looks ok. [IMG]

Agreed. It hit 113 degrees here in Tempe today.
Check out ANPAC. I've got my house, daily drivers and my hot rod under their "Chrome" coverage. I found that their Chrome coverage was the most...
Hmmmm....
um... yeah... Tanner Foust drunk driving a school bus. :D
Here's some video's of me making a fool of myself in my gasser-ish 55. Keep the volume up and go full screen because the video's are just from...
I had a great time Sunday too. If there were a prize for most runs that day, I think I'd get it. I've got a few pictures I'll post tonight or...
I expect to be there. I ran into Douglas last night at Firebird. We were both doing shake downs / practice runs for Sunday. If Mike brings...
I've got some issues with my BFG Silvertowns, but my gripe is more with the vender than with the tires themselves. The fronts are tiny 185/60/15's...
Take a look for the post by stlouisgasser on the second page. His 55 is going to be closer to the weight of your car:...
Do some searching on the HAMB but I'm pretty sure you are going to run pretty high pressure on those cheater slicks. I'd say 28-32 pounds.
When I changed rear ends I went an inch narrower on each side so I needed to have my wheels reversed. I found a fellow H.A.M.B.er that could...
I'm finishing my new rear leaf spring / Caltrac install today. I should be down there in the late afternoon or maybe early evening. I've heard...
I've got a 211 and I really like it. I've been using it (and my dad) to weld in floor sections into my dad's chevy. The MVP is so handy... I...
Here's another vote for American Autowire. I did my 55 with their update kit that takes push in fuses and includes all sorts of stuff. The kit...
That guy with the Starliner / SOHC drives it like he stole it. Some might complain about that but I think it's great. How many guys drive SOHCs...
