I was curious if anyone had experience using an adjustable dead perch instead of a panhard bar. Model A project: We're using a reverse-eye spring,...
Yes, prep is key. First prep is asking around to find a good powder coater. Then, smooth out welds or rough parts. Gargbage in, garbage out. If...
Amen to that. If you're hosting the show, you can select whatever you want, of course. But don't jerk around everyone by announcing a cut-off date...
Here's one for you: The Ketchall. http://www.kness.com/Ketch-All.html I've used them for years -- always keep one or two in my garage. No...
I've been to the Turkey Run and also Moultrie. I always had better luck finding stuff I need at Daytona. The last time (2006) I went to Moultrie,...
Another Jeep guy: My daily driver is a 97 TJ. Some mild mods -- nothing big deal, since I'm on the highway a lot. But I'm off the road all the...
Be proud of it, man! I'm sick of all the China crap these days.
Very nice work... let me know when they're ready.
Thanks for the suggestion about the oil pump drive shaft. Yeah, mostly just sprucing up at this point. Once we get the car on the road, and put a...
Thanks for the lead on the Stealth. Sounds like a good combo to me!
I'm sure the Dura-Spark would work fine, but it just wouldn't look right on a hoodless, fenderless rod. At least not to me. I'm not going by some...
The mill came from an 86 or 87 LTD. A smog pump was located low, on the left side of the motor (looking from the front). A pipe went around to the...
Cleaning up a 302 from a mid-80s Ford LTD. Had some kind of air pump lines going into the back of the heads. I just cut them off about three...
Yeah man, let's see some of those pinstriped hummers! Thanks for keeping us all safe at home!
Right place at the right time: I stopped at a yard sale this weekend and picked up some vintage tire changing tools, a couple of T-Model (I think...
Seriously, thanks for taking the time to reply. This was my first DF, I certainly didn't know everything that goes on behind the scenes, so it's...
It's definitely a Buyer Beware world out there. Me, when I sell something, I decided a long time ago that I don't guarantee ANTYTHING....
OK, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this...
(laughing) Yeah, that bug was pretty funny. I spoke with the owner about it, and he said he used a boxed T frame, so I guess that's the...
Yeah, that bugged me, too. My guess was that they just didn't know how to say, Sorry buddy, but you have to park in Spectator. No big deal, but...
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here... I was at Dixie Fried on Saturday and Sunday, first time. Lots of good cars, but the show was...
Well... as much as I'd like to help a fellow HAMBer, looks like the garage building project at my house is a Go For Launch this Saturday morning....
Where abouts are you located? My Saturday is tentatively booked to start building a new garage for my toys, but I might be able to make it...
Thanks for posting the photos, since I wasn't able to go this year. Will try again in 2008!
I don't get it. In my business, if someone has a problem, I just refund their money. But that RARELY happens. A third to a half of my business is...
My hunch was always something with the fuel, since that's the way it seems to act. I hadn't thought about the condenser, but that could be it......
This is slightly OT, since the problem is on my wife's gennie 67 Mustang with the Falcon straight-6 engine. Maybe you carb guys can help me...
Thanks for all the info. If I don't make it down to Charleston, I'll at least hit the cruise on Saturday night.
Thanks -- I was hoping maybe to find a swap meet, cruise, show, or anything... I'm here while my wife attends a professional seminar on Saturday....
Turns out I've got an entire day to kill on Saturday, May 12, and was wondering if there are any traditional hot rod/HAMB type stuff to check out...
