Hmmmnnnnnn, nobody has posted JEEM'S yet. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Okay, so I hit high school in '78, and at the time, if you drove a four door to school, you might as well have painted "kick me" or "lock me in my...
Hey gang, I'm posting this for my buddy Joe Clifford, who is a member here, but is having some computer difficulties. He has found something...
Possible local sale pending, but lets bump this one last time.
How funny (or sad) is it that I read your quote on Mad Mikey's post, his statement about crazy wheels (Turbine's to be exact!) and absolutely knew...
And, of course... [ATTACH]
Or, how about... [ATTACH]
...And [ATTACH]
I can add a couple to the mix... [ATTACH]
Hey gang, I have changed plans with the new build I'm comtemplating, and decided to let my EarlyFord trans go. This came out of a running driving...
Up, as it should be! [ATTACH]
'Nother glamour shot of my late Falcon wagon.... [ATTACH]
Russco, On a traditional sight, this may not be the most popular answer, but personally, I'd convert the rear to an open driveline and hide an...
Nah, Fred, keep runnin'! there will always be those that disgree with the way you are doing things. That's their right. Doesn't mean you have to...
There was a very well written history on Vertex Scintilla in one of the fairly early Rodder's Journals. Somewhere in the mid 20s number wise.
I completely "get" having a car disassembled and stacked due to a full shop! I had to do a quickie assembly of my '25 body to get the measurement...
I'm going to mirror what Rebel said. On a '26-'27 body with a pickup bed, I see nothing wrong with a stretch behind the doors, done correctly....
Hey gang, I made a mistake last night! I pulled the 46" figure out of my mind, and it was wrong. I measured my car, my Almquist body, and my steel...
Fred, I have to second the use of F-1 stuff. They don't seem to be rare, and you can buy the drums, shoes, wheel cylinders and such at any brake...
Yup, mine is 46" from the dash to the body back, which is exactly the same dimension as my steel "T" body. One of my "Cardinals" in building...
Good lookin' work Fred!
Honestly Gary, the body on my car is stock dimensions. I've compared it with my '25 steel body, and it's within a 1/2" everywhere. It's all just...
I'm gonna keep out of this one! While I can certainly see the astetic value of a near vertical column, they drive me absolutely nuts to drive...
Depends on which adapter you have. I use the classic inlines unit that lines the throttle arm up with the stock stuff, and just make a rod out of...
Ya, the truth is that the mural is based on a former girlfriend of mine, that once bent up the Plymouth in my avatar pretty well. The decision to...
I would have to dig up the articles I have, but I seem to remember that they really became available in '48 or '49.
Where I would have to disagree with you there is that this chassis uses the lighter lower rails like the TE-448. The TE440 used a 3" lower rail,...
Verde 742, is that Roy Rockwell's car? Do you have it here in town?
One last one from Phoenix, last Saturday night. Lil' Bill's sedan, and Panda Quinn the wonder Shih-Tzu also in frame. And since my cell phone...
Well, I THINK it's a TE-448, but everything from the firewall forward has been modified. The whole idea behind the 448 was that the rails were...
