My wife and I lived in Egegik, Alaska for nine years. Little village in Bristol Bay. During WWII a PBY got into trouble and the pilot landed on...
Wouldn't that be "French Dip"?
Hank this is my first flatty four banger to play with in a very long time. Last flat four was in a old bread truck and I was so green thought...
I had a Suzuki Sidekick that wouldn't die. It was my daily and I hated the damn thing. It leaked oil real bad so I would use the used oil from the...
If he wants to stay with British parts find either a MGB or MG Midget donor. Midget's are cheeeeeeeeeeeeap and the Midget's little four banger...
Running too lean = running too hot. That's why Max mentioned "scorched psitons" Kinda off topic just a tad........my wife and I got into cars...
Because it doesn't have a glass face it had to operate in an enclosed protected area. My guess is a WWII torpedo timer, either aboard ship or plane.
From what we understand the Great Race folks have gone under. But yes, that is the type of event the car is designed for. There is another guy out...
Damn fast spin cycle, lol
Years back I was eBaying and came across a listing for a bunch of tail lights. In the back of the pics was this strange gauge and geeze, well I...
From what I understand the traditional setup for a four banger is a primary and a secondary with progressive linkage. Ron and I were going the...
LMAO, what a great reply, thank you Max. Will advise Ron to remove the 35's and screw in 43's. Maybe he can toss a couple of 41's in the box, damn...

The current project, 29 Model A Speedster with pancaked hood body. Pic of the car is as we purchased before shipping from Cal toTexas. Pic of...
I you use the rule "we're not owners, we're caretakers" you'll make the right decision whatever it is. Please let us know how it plays out.
I like the raw metal look but that's from a speedster prospective. If I have another one in me after my current project is complete I would like...
While tall wires do look nice 16's sure help get the CG down. Another plus to the 16's is you have less wire length from hub to the rim. But on...
Just a newbie saying hello. I guess I wrinkled your fender though I'm not exactly sure how? If you disparage a person before knowing them, chances...
Two post whack job? Well now it's three post and with me behind the wheel it can get wackier, a lot wackier. Let me put it in reverse for a...
It's so nice to take the wife for a spin in the country when it's raining..............road kills always look so fresh.
If you were old enough to drive in the 60's but don't remember the 70's very well, you more than likely will remember at least this one line from...
