Sears sells a 1/4" bit driver set with a large and small clutch head bit in them.
Listen to Tommy, it's a well known fact that the aerodynamics practically sucks fumes in through the rear. My guess it's coming in through the...
In the little bit of research I've done when I started a media blasting business and quickly skimming this document- it still seems like the EPA...
Not sure where you'd order Starblast online. I get it from an outfit a couple hours away called Carolina Equipment (CESCO). Don't pay more than...
I really like DuPont's Starblast for chassis work. It's abrasive enough to cut pitted rust and leaves a really nice texture. Black Beauty has...
To put it in car show terms... Win 2K is that steel body deuce with a reliable 350 in it. Not the flashiest jalopy. But dependable and fun. XP...
Yup. A Rambler Wagon with Ferrari running gear. Plus, check out that shop! More pics here [IMG]
Actually, I had the same prob (losing a dust cap... not with the dog eating them!). The Advanced guy sold me some fancy pants Mr. Gasket chrome...
I've used the tube split headers by Hot Rods of Norco with success. If you're running your own exhaust, get ready for some frustration with that...
White or yellow steelies :cool:
Before you jump into an LLC, consider an 'S' Corporation. Put yourself on the payroll with a small salary. As an officer of the corporation, you...
Yeah, I watched it on my Xbox a couple of days ago. If you like Reno 9-1-1, you'll really like this show.
You are running shocks, right? :D
Might be able to hook up with the Customs Northwest Club that put on the Unfinished Nationals out near Elma (Grays Harbor Fairgrounds). I'm pretty...
It's true that it's a pain. I did the swap on all 4 of my doors (but shaved the handles. No way around having an ugly bulge to get the pin close...
Yep, on the '54, there's a long clip that slides through the door jamb and into the slots on the handle. Best way I've found is to pull the door...
Mine once in a blue moon get stuck from sitting too long in the garage. Usually waiting until there's enough air pressure in the system gets them...
My local Advance Auto Parts keeps them in stock for my '54 Chevies. They're all the same parts except the length of the bolt/sleeve. I'd get a set...
Drive the shit out of it! Until it told me what else it wanted done. :D
Actually, there's a teeny notch in the trans x-member that allows the u-joint to drop down if it's rotated the right way. I feel for you, man....
Stance is nailed. Keep it up!
If I recall correctly, the clutch return spring just hooks on to that round bar that's bolted to the clutch fork.
I wouldn't mind having some '54 Chrysler ones for our '54 Bel-Air! :D The 4 door in my signature just has the Night Prowlers' "Lee Lenses" with...
Think of plastic on the same scale as soda. Plastic cannot do what Starblast can do. I prefer to soda blast body panels if they're relatively rust...
I haven't used black beauty, but I'm about to get some because my supplier is suggesting it as an alternative to StarBlast. Both are abrasives...
I did a search and it's been a couple years since this product has been mentioned. It seems pretty nifty- I just ordered a big jug of it for my...
If you read the Tech Manual on the HoK Kosmic Krome stuff, it's pretty scary. There's a lot of steps and it sounds like if you don't get each one...
Funny you mention it, I was on a t-shirt buying spree the other night (gotta keep the rotation fresh!) and I noticed his site was fooked up too....
Yeah, it was a real pig before. :D Looks good. I kinda' dig the reworked rear wheel well. Of course, as someone that has experienced the rear tire...
Soda will not work. Soda isn't an abrasive and can't even break the "surface tension" of the substrate. Rust is down in the substrate, so you've...
