Nice job - Can you tell us about the motor?
Someone with a lathe could make you some shouldered bushes that would press in and allow the tapered tie rod end to be snugged up. I had to do...
Thanks Fellas. Part 11 out now! [MEDIA]
Do you think the fuel level when you filled the bowl would be higher than when in normal use with a float in place? Fuel dripping from those...
Thanks fellas. Here are the links to the newest uploads. Part 7: [MEDIA] Part 8: [MEDIA] Part 9: [MEDIA] Part 10: [MEDIA]
Ha ha nice pic of the Pinto. I can see what they did there.
Re the inner race. The heat has probably softened the bearing material so it will not crack like a bearing normally does when first grooved with a...
When you engage the clutch in reverse, does it pull the engine down as if the trans is locked or does it just feel like there is no drive like in...
Excellent work, Aulis, Great catch on that clutch pivot.
Really sorry to hear this. Best wishes to him and all the family.
Would it be possible to turn a second groove in the hex section? Easy job on a lathe. The hex looks long enough. Might need a spacer for the clip.
It's all coming together well.
Cheers Fellas. I just put up No.6! Join me for part 6 where I suffer a problem due to condensation. We build a temporary structure to overcome...
Hello. I received some requests for new videos. I have been releasing videos recently but not posting links, so here is a thread for links to my...
Here's an easy way to tell if your 40s steel is a 4" or 4-1/2". If you lay a straight edge across the centre of the wheel and up against the...
I just bought one wheel that looks like the one pictured. 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern. It has no slots. No hubcap retainers. It has marks on the rim...
Looking great Auliz.
"If by some rare chance it ends up online and for sale, I'll find it. Trust me on that one." Hope that happens. It did for me. I have a 57 T...
Glad you got the brakes sorted out. It's a nice looking car. Mart.
Great looking mod to the solenoid. There's got to be a market for some copies of that. Mart.
Hats with peaks can cause you to bump your head (if worn the right way round). You don't see the low thing in front of you. I saw a clip where two...
Is the front end going in from the top or bottom? If you can get it in from underneath it will help matters. Bending the steering arm so it is as...
Wow! That's a fantastic find. He lavished a lot of attention on it and it's a shame his health let him down. The car was obviously well loved and...
One of my favoutites. The artist is Jack Vettriano. Scottish artist that passed away only recently. He painted land speed cars too. I have them on...
Fantastic pics, Ryan. Thanks for making them available to view. Mart.
Just found this thread. I like what you have been doing to the truck. You might do better to weld the Ford UJ to the volvo output flange. You do...
Am I missing something? Why such thick oil? 15w40 or at most 20w50 ought to be enough?
I take it for granted that the coupe is fantastic. But the transformation on the hone is out of this world. Well done Neal, always a pleasure and,...
Could a possible scenario be that someone took an old 3w and replaced the steel body with a glass one but refitted all the original parts so it...
