I too, am saddened with this news; I attended as a spectator for a number of years and tried hard to get my Deuce ready for 2016. I didn’t make it...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Of course I like Y-Blocks; and I think they look as pretty as they sound. I like just about everything about it.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] For me it was summer of 1967; Andy Willot. 1931 Ford coupe. Channelled, suicide front end, 331 Chrysler Hemi with a 3-speed...
I’m also an early Ford guy; but 1941 Plymouth coupe is in my top 4 favourite cars of all time. I’d be all over that mopar!
My water bowl is perfectly safe thank you. I’m not sure what your agenda is; I’m sure you’re a fine machinist, I think you might be more suited to...
I don’t usually reply to stuff like this, but what a silly response you make. What on earth would make you say I’m giving him the impression it’s...
I did that exact swap for my 1932 Ford pickup. I sleeved the M/C and used a Willwood 260-6898 kit.
Now that I have mine sorted out, next up for me is to take mine out and cut and weld to move them forward. I can go about 2 1/4” ahead; that...
It will work great and I can’t wait to see that truck on the road!
I know that hanging pedals are different, but I just wanted to show the pedal placement as that will give the same result regardless. Notice how...
I built a ‘32 pickup; made my own frame and other things. Getting the pedals sorted out was by far the most difficult part of the whole project....
Here’s mine
The only thing I can suggest is heat from a torch

When I was was 16 I was driving a 1954 Fargo Town Panel. It had the flathead six and three speed. I bought a 1969 Plymouth that had the front end...
the exact column I used and for all the same reasons
I have two; the tall one that I fabricated, and my first one from when I was 16 years old. On both I use an old Hurst 3-speed knob.

I’m sure everyone is aware, but always remember if you lock the door from inside by pushing ahead, the key will not unlock the door. They are two...
I like them
Nice Y-Block by the way
For the record I think the ‘56 Ford is one of the prettiest trucks of all time But I just can’t get on board with negative postings. It’s like the...
I have considered going to the Pertronix based on all the positives I have read about them. The biggest issue that keeps me from going that way is...
I’m not sure what it means to change points “frequently”; I have been driving vehicles with points since 1977. I really haven’t had to change that...
I envy some of you; I lost my dad to cancer in 1977. I was 15 and he was 46. We never got to spend the time together.
I know everybody will jump down my throat, but I’d put the points in and leave it that way.
Looks like it would have bump steer to me.
I hear you there. I am really happy with how mine drives and I never did want to chop it. There are a few guys that seem to need to tell me it...
Looks great! Are you still planning to chop the top?
