Unlike many lubricants, WD-40 does NOT contain silicone, so with a proper cleaning/degreasing it can be painted over with no issues. Just today I...
After hearing about Gibbs Brand metal protector used on bare metal cars for years, I decided to get some to try on Hawkeye and Hot Rod Pat's bare...
My '55 Plymouth uses Ball and Trunion style u-joints. Mine are nearly completely worn out. Looking for replacments, I see that most of them are...
If you just want the look, it would be conciderably cheaper to machine a cover that fits tight over the stock iron head. It could even be held...
I've been working on this very thing for the 218/230 off and on for a few years, I'm hoping to have it done and in limited production by next...
That Tach rules :D
94's are so cheap and plentiful I don't think it would be worthwhile for anyone to start reproducing them.
What!?! How did I miss this? I can't believe I missed it this year. I didn't even have anything to do all weekend :( Fudge...
I've got a pair of old Delta 5/8 cranks, one with a spun rod bearing that would need welding/regrinding and it should be magged to check for...
I'll be there, I don't know who I'll have with me in tow.
15,000 miles and going strong on the set in the video :) <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...
If you're just making patches that won't be left bare, pay attention to the prep. Paint doesn't stick to some stainless without an etching primer.
The Sherman-Williams self-etch in a spray can is the best I've ever used. It's about the only good product that S-W makes. It bites much better...
What does the can say about recoating?
We had the same problem with Hawkeye's '53 210. Just start bolting stuff on. You may have to unbolt something later to put a piece under it, but...
I ain't going if Cliff's involved. Seriously though, Cliffy was always on top of organizing the UW-Stout Auto Club's show(and was often on...
I was over visiting my buddy Hawkeye last weekend. He's a seldom seen HAMBer, and student at UW-Plattville. He managed to land himself a job as...
My local Car Quest is usually pretty good about getting my parts for older cars. I called them today looking for a Left Front wheel cylinder for...
I have a teaching degree, and at 28, I build custom cars for a living. I've been building cars professionally for 2 1/2 years, and I'm ready to...
Stick some 120 grit paper on a DA and simply sand it smooth. It's similar to the process I use for grinding my whitewalls. Make sure your tire...
They will stay the same(well, technically, you'll lose a few because of the extra cable required, but that's so negligible it's barley woirth...
Toluene is the primary ingrediant in lacquer thinner, along with Acetone. Leaving it in your tank for any length of time won't hurt anything,...
That was going to be my suggestion as well. They are after all actually produced and most commonly used for putting rings in hogs, and pigs, and...
As long as you still have the torque tube, you'll probably be OK. If you ever ditch the tube, you'll have to replace the springs anyway.
It probably works about as well as anything. compared to gasoline, it's hard to light and burns slowly, so it could help inhibit detonation. On...
I'll probably go, I mean, it is right across the street from work... I don't know which day I'll go yet. I work at Regal Roadsters, right across...
Early C4 Corvettes came with an OD unit behind their 4 speeds. The one I worked on was an '84, I don't know how long they used them.
I'm always up for a good time ;)
Like George says, the holes can be tapped to 1/2-20. Normally, the flywheel or converter had studs on it with nuts on the crank side. A SERIOUS...
My understanding is that the deck height is different between the 331/354 and the 392, so the 392 won't interchange.
