The rack and pinion units made for the Mustang II are really only strong enough for a vehicle up to about 3000lbs. I may be wrong, but the...

Yeah, the steel '32 roadster looked like a steal for 27k. Even if it was a Brookville, which I didn't think so as some of the bodywork in the rear...
I started with a Lincoln 110 flux core welder, and had the gas conversion too. It will get you by, but the money you spend on grinding discs to...
Nice looking work. I would recommend very highly that you install a rod end on the rearend mount for your wishbone. If not, when the suspension...
It is clear anodized, and can be removed with Easy Off oven cleaner.
Not a very good picture of the car this thread is about, but the wheels on it sure look like Streamlite wheels. Anyone else think so?
Here are a few of my old personal plates. As I recall, when I lived in Illinois, any vanity plate with a number in front or at the end was way...
Now that is cool! Great job both in design and engineering. The guys over at Jockeyjournal would love it too.
Rat L Can, I did that twenty years ago, and I will never forget it. Took an off ramp at a speed faster than posted and effectively had to give my...
I too scored a 17. Definitely a neat deal, but they could make it a bit more difficult by doing some vintage 4 and 6 cylinder engines. Actually,...
I would just like to add that while you may be able to find a shock at your local parts store that fits the parameters of your build, that doesn't...
Andy Granatelli's book is called "They Call Me Mr. 500" a book that he authored in about 1970. I highly recommend finding a copy and reading every...

Interesting car. Could that car have been built my Miles Mesa? Not sure of the correct spelling, he was from Downers Grove, Illinois I believe. An...
Fact is, that Honda Pilot may very well have more American made parts than many of the big three offerings. Somewhat unrelated, but disturbing...

Don't write this place off just yet. It may be a couple of months, but it will be back with a new owner, better attitude and great food. I have...
The last "ready to restore" piece I looked at had a good cowl vent. That was about it.
