Thanks for the geography lesson. That'll teach me to look at the location and not just the pictures. I got the truck for a good price, knowing it...
Yes it is the Ford in my avatar. Last winter I started to repair a frayed wire to the fuel sender, and ended up rewiring the truck from bumper to...
I've been working on new floors in the '41 for a few months now. Coming down to paint and insulation. The P.O. had BRAZED galvanized down over the...
I contacted Speedway, they told me they only have them for Ford 9". I need one for a 10 bolt Cheby.
Sorry to hear that Deto. As I understand it, issuing a permit is totally at the sheriffs' discretion, with no appeal. I've had a permit for over...
I have a California CCW. When I travel out of town, I carry two guns, one concealed on me, and another in the console. I'm working on the truck...
I've talked to the widow who owns this twice, and her daughter once. I get the classic "we're going to restore it someday". It is remarkably...
I'd be leary of sending make, model, and VIN to anyone. Does he want your car? If not I would ignore him.
I had a '58 'vette with a tack drive generator. Also a '68 'vette with a tack drive DISTRIBUTOR. If you go a tack drive distributor, then you can...
My floors are rotted out on my truck. I was going to buy sheet metal and do it myself, but just saw MACS' has a full floor for $140. Anyone use...
Did I forget to mention tilt column, 12V bulbs and wiring harness?
Probably NOT what you want to hear, but have you considered buying both? You need the Camaro clip. You also need Cheby engine , trans, and rear...
I have American Collectors. They wanted pictures which was no problem. Supposed to have a 2,500 mile per year limit. Our cruising season is only...
Seems there is more appreciation of Vets today than when I came home. And HAMB seems to have a higher percentage of people who served. That must...
I'll throw in with the rest of the posters. Bad resistor. One wire to the coil comes from the solenoid to give you 12+ volts to start. When you...
Sorry to hear you had a bad expierence here. Hope guys who know 50Bomb can put some pressure on him to make it right.
Here it is Bluz; Click "Go Advanced" then the paper clip symbol. Then browse your pics, select and click "upload". Scroll to the bottom and click...
I personally don't like them chopped, it seems to throw off the porportion between the top and the bed. Then I saw one that was chopped about 3"...
I went with the Auto Meter streetrod series simply because they had the look I wanted. Antique beige with the fish tail needles.
Good to hear from you Bob. I hadn't been driving the coupe much since I tore the upholstery out last winter. But with the new seats looking good...
I gave up on fixing the original bench seat in my coupe. Found a guy on C/L changing the color of his upholstery and selling a complete interior...
I have a 4" dropped axle and Posie Super Slide spring in my coupe and like the ride just fine. I do need new shocks and am considering coil over...
I have 1" bore on both my cars. Ford style on the coupe and Cheby style on the little truck. If you go 1" you can some day switch to front disc...
The lazy mans' method of checking vacuum leaks is with a can of starting fluid. Spray around base of carb and all vacuum lines. A leak will reveal...
Anybody use a RPC HEI distributor? A buddy had one he bought and then didn't use. I bought it for $50, but have that "made in China" feeling about...
Seems to me any of the mid-size GM cars used that same M/C. Ask for something late '60s to mid 70s. I think mine cost less than $30 bucks new....
Being a '40 guy,I like to see them full fendered. If you absolutely want a "bobber", I have a '39 truck that would be perfect for you.
Since you have a "drum and drum" setup, whatever is a clean fit and you have available should work fine. I just put the Corvette style on my '41....
I paid $15,000 for mine and thought I got a STEAL! You could put $2,000 into it to get it just how you want and still be way ahead of the market....
Went to Hotrods and Hotdogs, a small local show in Mt Shasta Saturday. About 30 local cars, I've gotten to know most of the people. Got there...
