2X for Miata batteries - cheap and small. But those others are super nice and so small you can put them anywhere
Chicago Pneumatic - my brother sells this stuff for a living and that's what's in a lot of shops This is my impact gun. There are many like it,...
Several of those are metric doorstops.
I have the autometers in my A. The gas gauge sticks and you have to tap the glass to get it to work. Gives it character... That's what I tell...
Couple of vids I shot today... <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vroqy_jUSuY" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315"...
I went for a pre-WW2 look and did just as Don described on his 27 chassis pic. Cut the end off, heat, twist, bend, whatever and then weld them...
Regarding your question, the stock model A pieces are pretty wimpy. I wouldn't use them. Based on comments here on the HAMB, not through...
I cut my roof off a few years back. Not a huge challenge, but there is lots of fun getting it worked out. Check the side shot in my avatar and...
My 30 had the number on the driver's side frame rail, right under the forward body mount. Matched the title and engine. I didn't see any numbers...
Took my banger to the Friday night block party - amazing the attention a banger with a straight header gets. Lots of lookers - probably more than...
I met Jamey in the Swap Meet area at Cruisin' last year. Great guy to talk to and the seats look better in person. Hopefully he'll be there...
No bumpers, slight lowering with spring work, 16" wires as stated, good brakes (work with what you have or juice'd), banger speed parts and talk...
T-5 - find Crazydaddyo - he developed an adaptor to use a 4WD trans without the xfer case. It allows you to keep the torque tube instead of...
My CP impact got weak on me over time, turns out my auto oiler was set too high. Cleaned it out and it runs like a champ. Sounds like you need...
I'm thinking yes... Probably won't drive my car - not sure if I'm up to crossing the lake with my banger. Were you at the Madisonville show this...
Another nice thing is you can use an electrical box compression clamp to attach this to your firewall, if the angle can be made to match up. You...
Move South - I've seen mine condense water on the manifold in Louisiana, but never ice up like that. Its an aluminum intake, not sure if that...
Sawzall - thought I'd use it once... I now consider myself to be a Michelangelo of the Sawzall! Dremel's pretty damn handy too.
North shore by night, in the East by day. One and a half Model A's in the garage.
Somebody help this guy out, so I can go fix both doors on my tub!
Very nice work. If you were in Louisiana, I'd bring my A tub over to you and let you work the same magic. Same hole in the firewall too!
Will - Great build and it does look simple, unless you're in the middle of the build and never done it before. Sometimes I look at mine and...
Have you ever built the floor pan and bulkheads out of ally? What about lengthwise stringers? I was thinking some 1/8" x 1" flat bar would...
Thanks - actually thinking of building a different chassis for that body and an aluminum speedster body for that one since it has a banger in it....
Watching and learning too. This is inspiring and I'm getting confident that this is possible for me and my Model A chassis.
Northshore area has several HAMBers - I'm in Mandeville.
I cut mine from a part of the rear bumper on my A. Welded a couple of nuts on the inside and bolted it up.
Do it yourself. Use a level and tape measure to triangulate everything and it will turn out great. Tack it once you think it is right, double...
That sounds like it will work. I'd get everything relatively close and make that final spline or two adjustment at the box.
Why do you need more than 1? Wait, why do you need 1 at all?
Separate names with a comma.
