This one of them?
Ok, I've got a better picture now. This should be easy for us to figure out... [IMG]
Thanks for the leads so far guys!
I'm working on a period restoration of this car and I need to find out what decals these are on the window. This is the clearest picture I have of...
Well, I like to be on the heavy side of caster on an I beam set up. I build for 12 degrees, and have run as much as 14 degrees. Effortless and...
I'm not sure if I follow what your are saying. All Halibrand wheels have "Halibrand" cast in the front side ...right? "Real" Wheels are close...
Ahhh Sprints. Good call, they are 16x13 in magnesium...
Bttt
Here we go:
I thought there was a Halibrand pic thread ...I can't seem to find it now. Am I wrong? I'm trying to id some wheels...
Take your radiator to a rad shop and have it shortened to the height that looks good. Then hide an another radiator under the back of the car...
Nice Belly TANK. I like it!
Again, may I say if this car remained unchopped, there would not be a 16 page thread on it. The car is perfect.
No you didn't ...I just didn't want people to read this and think that they HAD to use new aluminum.
There is NOTHING wrong with CAST ALUMINUM scrap. The key is melting it into ingots first. After the second melt, add flux before the pour ...I...
I have had 300 lbs of Petrobond since 2006. I haven't had to add oil yet. It still works great. If you are going to get serious, an oil bonded...
I built mine from a pitted (junk) Model A frame. Whacked off the front about an inch or two in front of the cowl and welded legs to it. The legs...
I've never understood the "value" of a diamond. It's just a shiny rock. You can't drive it or live in it. What's it good for other than making a...
It's funny how a guy pops up on a Site DEDICATED to the Traditional Hotrod and claims that there are no rules. We are talking about Hotrod history...
[IMG] I didn't read all of the posts, but to the quote above I would have to say "HUH?" A REAL A-V8 still retains the majority of the stock...
Ok, got the cam out. Here is a pic of the offending lobe: (and yeah, I said it's #5 cylinder ...it's really #1 cylinder. I must have had too...
Well, I ran the engine with the push rod sitting on the bench, so that possibility is out. The Flathead Ford can be as quiet as any other...
Do you think that I would be able to see such a thing on the lobe with a bore scope? ...Or could I see it with a dial indicatior??
Hummm.... Egged. I'll have to check that. Have you seen that before? Yep, I didn't see anything abnormal... That would be the ultimate, but...
I checked the valve lift and it was fine. The lobe ...I guess it could be messed up somehow. I'll get my bore scope and have a look at it...
I always get the Butt-Kicker problems. Here are the facts: 1939 Ford Flathead. Just rebuilt (not by me). Has the stock size camshaft with...
Nice!
Bump.
Bad-ass Dale! That's no Daisy.
Nope, I'd just put his uncut doors on it.
