Not sure if you saw this thread a while back? Also not sure if I've inserted the link correctly? Apologies in advance if I haven't. There may be...
Did you get any info on the racing history of the car?
Knocked it out of the park! Especially like the fact that you didn't put a '32 grille on it.
Sounds like brake drum contacting backing plate. Any end float in rear axles?
Bolts too long through cross member into trans mount? I know it's not rotation related but I've seen cases of this where the bolts are contacting...

Yeah, more often than not it's "I cut it twice and it's still too short"
Am I missing something here? I understand the spindles have now been swapped back side for side so the steering arms are now facing rearwards...
I'm with Lloyd and the others recommending lube. As Ioldtimer states, Energy kits come with silicone lube. I think in the fine print somewhere it...
More true than funny unfortunately! Funny nonetheless, brought a smile to my face to start the day. Thanks.
Had this years ago with Original Parts Group. They would only ship to the billing address on your credit card statement. Fair enough, as someone...
Hey Brian, I realize your definition of a high performance street car is a whole lot different to most people and this car will never impress you...
To paraphrase Tom Cruise, "You had me at pic # 1".
Is someone reproducing these Brian, or has someone been lucky/worked hard to find a number of sets?
A big thumbs up from down in Australia also. I sold over a hundred of Newport's kits over a ten year period. Only ever had one minor problem (only...
"If you're not 10 minutes early, you're already late". A common quote from one of my son's old football coaches.
It seems the 'music too loud' thing is a worldwide phenomenon at car shows. We have to suffer it here in Australia as well. Particularly annoying...
Looks like a good turnout. Early Falcons seem to be popular around there.
Great to see Ken, you must be over the moon!
A group of snails are sitting around discussing what they'd buy if they won the lottery. One says, I'd buy a '73 Eldorado convertible and get a...
Yeah, point taken. Probably a bad choice of words on my part. :)
Magnificent collection. I like that he had diverse taste, hot rods & resto's.
40+ years since I first saw it and I still get a shiver up my spine when Falfa runs the red light when he & Milner first duke it out on the...
Somewhat unrelated but I notice my last 2 or 3 copies of Hot Rod have not included the subscription cards in them as they have for years. Maybe...
Hi Ray, FWIW we also had here in Oz (and I think also the Canadians) what we know as a 'short side plate' 216. It's essentially the U.S. 50-52?...
Right on Lumpy! I've had this discussion a few times lately. We all too readily shit can the younger generation, but you don't know anything until...
I think I can see why you were happy to swap for the old modified. No challenges left to overcome! Outstanding work.
Hey Ken, glad to see you were able to find someone knowledgeable/skilled who you can trust to guide you through the build. Pretty sure every time...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] No problem Brian. It's had a pretty decent polishing job at some stage, just a bit grotty from sitting on the shelf. A good...
Hi Brian, I don't have a finned cover for a 12 bolt but I do have an old Geis girdle. Might be a shade new for the era you're going for? I assume...
