Hybrids are nothing new. Ferdinand Porsche built the first around 1900. It didn't revolutionize transportation then and the Prius won't do it now....
I put together a T Buggy back in the early 70's for a local DJ. She'd had the thing for a few years already and no one else would touch it. She...
It might work to some degree but of course as the weld time increases penetration would decrease due to diminishing current. I wouldn't "weld"...
I rely on a rearview camera. It has a wide angle lens and infra-red for night time use. It was around $20. It displays on my radio.
I'm glad you guys put these pics up. Now I know my Hup has a 34 Ford body and not a 33 leftover. My hood and wheelbase are longer then the Ford...
Headliners here only run about $100-125 installed including materials. I can buy the fabric at a local shop for about $3 per foot, 60 inches wide....
That's a different motor mount than the one I used. What application were they for? I used 72' Nova mounts.
You shouldn't need a spacer. Are you sure you have the correct motor mount? The left and right are nearly identical if memory serves me. I have a...
I made my own version of the hottronics switch with a 3/8" rod, 2 body washers, 2 nails, a fence staple and a strip of sheet metal. Any stock type...
Gee its only creeping over 90 here today but luckily we have 98% humidity to go along with it so the heat index is down to 110
I've got my temp sensor in the water inlet. Was that 10 degrees BTDC? 292's like advance. Are you sure your belt is tight enough? You don't have a...
Luckily snakes are generally loners... except at breeding and hibernation times.
I use a 16" SPAL pusher. The thermostat is set to turn on around 140. So far even after a long idle in 95 degree heat the temp hasn't exceeded 190...
I've dolly-towed through both states several times with no plate at all with zero problems.
Like he said go with the 500. Fuel economy and performance will suffer with a 750. You wouldn't want anyone smoking near the exhaust. Flame on!
Isn't the wheelbase of a 34 Ford around 112"? The Courier was 104" I believe. You may have to shorten the body or stretch the frame.
It may come as a surprise but there are a bunch of right coasters here that play too. I tickle ivories and can play a fool as well as anyone.
It must run in the family. I don't think I've ever seen as many run-down, semi collasped buildings in one place, including several New Mexico...
Some nice rides down south. Too bad about the ongoing trade embargo. They could use our money and we could use their tin (and fabrication skills)....
FWIW Ransom E Olds invented the power mower so they're definately HAMB fodder.
I have a sewing plant. We use quite a bit of craft paper as well as plotter paper and tissue. I buy it in various widths from 30" to 72". We...
What type alternator do you have? 1 wire or 3? You may need an idiot light or diode to prevent overcharging. Another thing to check is whether any...
OK I'll bite. What straight six engine are you talking about? Ford, GM, Jag etc? Some of them need no adapters.
Another thing it may be is a bad or worn bushing in the dizzy. Timing will be right one second and way off the next.
IF the TV is adjusted properly they are very reliable.
My Hup has a art deco zepellin hood ornament.
Using an inverter would be very inefficient. A lot of energy would be lost as heat that would need dissipation. You might try a 6volt motor for...
Hey I came out of the hardware store a while back and found 3 old geezers around my car. One sitting in the driver's seat and the other 2 with the...
Its a barbeque where a whole pig is cooked. I gotta ask though ZMan, you doing it eastern NC style or western? Welcome viva...
I would guess those are from a 8 cylinder car. The sixes generally had speedos that stopped at 80. The B model was a six built from 32-33. Combo...
Separate names with a comma.
