There are some very nice cars in this thread!
Me too! But I still have some major steering and brake issues to work out first.
This is an interesting question. There are a lot of variables to consider. Are we talking stock components? These engines all have different bore...
Yes sir, the rear of the body is on top of the rear crossmember. The front is channeled the width of the frame. It does give it a raked look. The...
Yes sir, of course. I have paid attention to scrub line, Akerman angle, and checked suspension travel multiple times. I plan on a professional...
The 8 inch rear end also came in 70s Ranchero. They're strong enough for most street driving. The 9 inch is definitely stout but the MOPAR 8 3/4...
It may just be the angle of the picture, but the original looks like it has a slight bit more rake to it. Is the depth of the channel still the same?

Am I the only one cheesy enough to admit that this was the car that made me want a hot rod!
I enjoyed reading about your adventures! I'm afraid that with modern automotive conveniences people have forgotten that traveling has always been...
I am sad to hear this. I learned a lot from his book.

I may be incorrect, but I believe it was the mechanical fuel injection 283 in the corvette. Like 1958 or 1959?

You're welcome. Thanks for the measurements. I will see what I can do. My fabrication skills are not all that great. If you can post a link to...
I like the hot rod. It is coming together nicely. I like MOPAR flathead straight six although I have never had one. This is the gas tank I put in...
I like it! You have made some quality stuff there JW!
