The guy wants $600 for this w/ tranny. I don't know if it runs or not, I think it's too high of a price. But, I don't know jack about...
WOW, I need to start checking barns....... Congrats... That is pretty cool. I saw that too. I bet she came down hard with a pivot point like...
If I can remember tonight, I'll take a pic of an A and T crossmember sitting together. Plus, I have a T front axle for reference to your axle pic.
IMO, if you have to stick up for someone on a board like this and nobody else has, there has got to be an inside joke there somewhere. PLEASE...
I had a 78 Z-28. That wasn't too cool, but the engine was. Small journal 327 w/ 12.5:1 dome tops, 62 or 64 CC heads off a 350hp Vette, and the...
Bye the looks of the shadows, it's only sitting about 3" off the ground too. Those auto parts store shackles are going to hit probably before...
The term "Snot Rod" comes to mind (Yes, borrowing from Cars) It looks to me that the boogerweld on the shackle mount is pulling away from the...
I caught that part, he was telling the kid that he had to work holidays. Yes, he did use himself as an example. BUT I repeat, he did tell the...
I see two problems. One, Alcohol is pretty much the primary cause of what you guys are dealing with. I have not been to any of these shows yet,...
Great vids, I miss racing.... My inspiration for making next years drags! My first car did 14s in HS (built 100% by me), almost married into the...
Thanks, that helps tons. I'm accumulating parts for the build someday.
I backed off it, it was missing too many parts. I finally got to stop and look it over, funny how things look much better from 50' away. I did...
I'm hoping to cut a deal with him on it and a bunch of other parts tomorrow. I think it will end up on a glass T body/ T frame build that will...
But, but, but That would mean I actually had to come up with cash.... I'm a cheap SOB, I can build something, but you could hear the whine in...
Or you could talk to me and I can set you up with a 45 Studebaker type M that is mostly complete - dually flathead 6 ect that is in Greeley CO....
We talked about the cracking possibility. So if it isn't cracked, then what? A flathead has the allure like a woman in a tent waiving you in and...
49 or 50 v8 flathead Ford in a pickup, no hood for years, missing one head and someone recently stole the intake. It's still bolted to the tranny...
So it might be worth grabbing as a "gotta save it from the crusher" and hanging on to it? If it's really just junk then I don't want to waste my...
Thanks, Great pics. I saw the 53 thread, but the body style just wasn't close enough. Those big bulbous front fenders change the effect. I...
The engine is still in the truck and has been covered. It still turns over and I bet would start. Is this worth anything for future builds? How...
This may be a bit off topic for this board, but I really need some help and hope someone here has info. My friend is closing his salvage on Sept...
I was talking to a diesel mechanic for the fire dept about the diesel ones and he said they were more for scavenging air. It didn't make much...
The salvage has 3 little cars and one "sports car" model. I don't think any were missing rear axles though. Still a fascinating item, probably...
I think it could be done up as a 6 lug because of those 3 retainer screws. This thing is tiny though, it wouldn't take much abuse. What about a...
I started with a Lincoln 125 and changed to a Millermatic 175 about 6 years ago. I love mine, I wouldn't go back. I think the guns and feed...
Ok, I was walking around my friends salvage today and came across this axle. It is 52 1/2" wide and a 3 lug. It is aluminum except for a few...
DOOOOOH!!! I screwed up....:D I should type stuff like that at the beginning of my thesis.... Still dig the rag, not sure how this thread got...
I've always thought it would be a cool show to just have the "real" talent working on a build and no "bossmen" bitching. I don't get to watch...
Holy crap, do HAMBrs' eat their own? IMO, If a guy bails a rag out that is going down the crapper, he should be able to stick anything he wants...
He isn't joking about this big ass mess..... I've been driving that rout (or at least one like it) for 25+ yrs and STILL have to watch that...
