Heck - that's just up the street - What's the event? Any more info on it??

Drill at the end of the crack - that will prevent it from spreading more then run it - or if you're worried about it and want the stock look -...
I don't have anything as good as what's posted - just lots of rodent droppings, rodent nests, and had an old ford F150 that I used to tow with on...
Sure you could block the guy from bidding, but it sure was nice he read your auction (assuming you said something like US only in the ad or...
I've been on both sides several times - lost a couple deals showing up a few minutes too late and seeing cash change hands... been the guy handing...
I'm needing a couple of '50 F1 and F2 pickup parts. Mainly needing a good straight hood - anyone going that can let me know if there's something...
Checking the gears is a good start - chipped or broken teeth are obvious. Rotate the input shaft and "feel" for binding/grinding. Next wiggle...
Ok - time to get out the battery charger - if it's even moderately newer it'll have an automatic "trickle charge" mode so that it doesn't...
First thing I would do is get yourself a VOM (Volt-Ohm-Meter - otherwise known as a multi-meter). If you think it's too expensive just order the...
and I'm assuming they can't take some shims out of the upper a-arm? Thought about aftermarket uppers? What's the angle of the lower control arms...
Call around to the radiator shops - found a shop in a "not too great" part of town that did a tank cheaper than I could buy the kit for - they had...
Wil a pic do? [IMG] Click For Cam Bearing Tool - $25 at Speedway - can't make one for that - dunno about shipping over the pond...
Since you're nowhere close all I can offer is some advice where to find this service near you.... Go to the local weekly racing circle track...
I'm thinking it's got to get everything really really hot for it all to work well enough to lean out and burn just vapors - probably a hot or cold...
I'd bet they keep records of all REPORTED incidents - it's a little way to skate the symantecs - they don't know about what's not reported - and...
Cool ride - question - what are the front rims and spindles from?? They've got to be pretty narrow to fit those motorcycle tires on 'er...
OK - valve letting compression leak into the valvecover... that's really unlikely - the high combustion pressures are held in the cylinders by...
All good points. I use the douse the cylinders with oil, crank by hand, change oil then crank by starter until oil pressure builds (and that...
Most vinyl 'preservatives' have silicone or some other chemical that paint doesn't like to adhere to... A good degreasing cleaner is a requirement...
Flexible line from the compressor to the fenderwell (or wherever is closest 'solid' mount point, then soldered copper from there - like...
That cam is a little mild for a "hot rod" - for something that might be doing a little hauling / towing - it'll be fine. If you're not wanting to...
If you've got access to a vacuum gauge you can pick a power valve that will work easier than guessing - use about 1/2 idle vacuum as a starting...
My $.02 worth - skip the solid lifter cams - for what you're talking about there are now much better hydraulic cam profiles out there than there...
I like running 2.25" pipe - it matches up well to most decent SBC exhaust manifolds. You didn't mention if you're running manifolds or headers?...
In IL as an individual you used to be able to "Bond for title" - put up the bond for 1 or 2 years if I recall right and get a clean/clear title...
I know you said 4-post, but really think about that before you get one - they're not as useful as a 2-post lift IMHO - think about what type of...
Also - some M/C are mounted on an angle uphill - which will trap air in the 'top' and won't be able to bleed out. Just check the angle of the...
Oh - trust me I'm not going to leave without the drum off... It's not ruined yet, but if I've got to put the cutting tip on the torch and torch it...
