Just thought I'd share a little experiment I did last night. I have a pair of 5-spokes that I wanted to darken up since blasting them made them...
Ah, thank you, man! I didn't see those posted in the other thread. That clears a lot up! New cap and rotor on their way now.
That link is just as I said, all the old three-digit numbers with suffix. This unit I have is newer than that, and the part numbers changed format...
I picked up a Mallory 2648201 recently, and I need some parts for it. When I see parts listed for different series, is this referring to the first...
I put my '60 Biscayne together in the spirit of mid 60s street racers. She's got a 331 Chevy, all late 60s/70s hop up goodies under the hood, M20,...
That looks really nice! I think my biggest qualm with them is just as you stated: they look a little modern/cheap... so far I've only seen one car...
I understand how to mount them. I'm looking for photos of them on a car, and general opinions of them. Mostly I'm unsure how I'll like them...
Does anyone run a set if these aluminum smoothie windshield posts on their T roadster? Or have pictures of a car with them? I'm trying to figure...
I saw it at the Haifley's 4th of July party last summer, but didn't realize the history of it! The original RR was just barely before my time (for...
I just recently bought an Edelbrock C-66R because it was too good of a deal to pass up. Has anyone run one of these? Are they considered high...
Thanks for the replies! I got my body set on the frame this weekend and put some other weight on the frame to help simulate having a battery, fuel...
I started setting up the chassis for a new project this weekend, and I'm wondering if the height is in the ballpark for the parts combo I am...
Thanks man, I dig it!
Here's one I've been working on recently. Just a few more details left yet, but it's coming together nicely I think. This is the first model I've...
Here's a few from behind the wheel of my daily beater. Mom's nailhead-powered '34 in the rear view: [ATTACH] Cruising Bell Rd in Phoenix:...
You and Pist-n-Broke are thinking in the same wheelhouse as me. Firewall and dash would be chassis mounted and stay there when the body comes off,...
I'm starting to get some stuff together for a 28/29 roadster project, and one of the ideas I had was to make the body removable for servicing the...
Don't let people like this speak for all of us young guys. With that said, I just wanted to add this for others that might be searching and come...
This guy's ebay account appears to be inactive, but that is the type I'm looking for. I hadn't seen these, but they might work. I don't know how...
I've done a ton of searching and can't seem to find any. I'm talking the solid type, NOT the C type. I know there used to be some sellers on the...
Hey guys! I posted a while back about beefing up the rear in my Chevy, and after taking all the good advice into consideration I went out and...
Thanks for confirming it isn't possible! Lots of bad info out there about what will and won't work haha! Honestly, if I were to go through the...
Hey Butch, I was kinda hoping you would reply to this! Im not running posi, but rather filled spiders and side gears (welded up all teeth except...
So, my '60 Biscayne is on it's third set of spiders now. I have been reading a lot about utilizing Dana 44/Chrysler 8.75 side gears and axles in...
I restored this '59 Crestliner Commodore Speedster last summer. Everything is Rust Oleum rattle can, except for the bottom paint, which is Ace...
Man!!!! That is bitchin!!! Now I need to do colored flat glass for sure. Thanks man!!
That's a really interesting idea with separating the points! I could see that coming in handy for a higher comp street motor. I know a lot of guys...
Thought this might me a useful link for this thread. I've been working my way through it for the last while (lots of material here, it's amazing!)...
Would anybody be down to play around with rendering what my Biscayne will hopefully look like finished? I'm going for a mid 60s M/P drag car look....
Ah, I gotcha. I was just confused where bracket racing came in, but I see now. At any rate, I would like to do some of that one of these years....
