Great job, Brian! It wasn't as hard as you thought, was it?
I've installed about 6 AC units. All but one was VA and all from here on will be VA. The first one I installed was not.
I spoke to Steve at the GNRS in January. They said #87 was about to be shipped then.......
Hello suckers!
I seriously doubt FatMan was having bolts made to order. McMaster is a good source. Measure it and order from them.
Eric started this build before Ryan changed the site to "strictly traditional". He let the build threads that were started before this continue.
Fasten it down somehow, maybe a vise with soft jaw inserts. Take a propane torch and heat it evenly around the top seam. With a gloved hand, pull...
I gave you up for gone. Welcome back! Please finish that car!
Looks like it may be soldered together.
Great job, Charlie!
Aaarrrgggh! :mad::(
Find a Buick transmission is your only other option. They used a version of the TH400 called the ST400 in 64-66, I believe. If you can, get the...
A big truck lost his pinion as I was following on the Interstate years ago. The whole pinion dropped out of the rear! I couldn't avoid it. It hit...
I just love dressing engines. Polished the intake up a little and reinstalled it and the carb. Then, I stabbed the distributor in and decided to...
I dont think you said whether you have AC or not. I do and the radiator with condenser and electric fan wont just drop in. I removed the grill and...
Some of your pictures didn't load, Robert. Nice work, as usual.
Well, we got the SBC and T5 nestled into place today. It is the tightest fit I have ever dealt with but removing the front grill was the hot lick....
Wow. I never dreamed installing the engine would be this hard. After taking 3 attempts today, my friend Richard and I decided on this approach for...
It certainly can be done and needs to be done by a shop that has experience doing it. Installing one in an "already built" car is harder than...
Most hides these days are "vat dyed", meaning the dye fully pentrates the leather. Surface dyed leather will wear off more easily. Good luck!
Try the Garage Journal. Those guys work with all kinds of tools and are really good at id'ing weird stuff.
That's some damn good torque and traction!
There are companies like Ethyl Corporation whose business is to develop additive packages for motor oil companies. They have dyno cells running...
Bob's or Classic City are my go to suppliers of glass for old cars.
Eat some BBQ ribs, put some Hoochie Coochie Hot Sauce on it and enjoy!
I have 2 Dakota Digital units made by Rostra. They both work well. You may have to glue magnets to your driveshaft. Don't know if the have a pulse...
Built this one for a future project, probably a 37 Packard.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This hasn't been to the top in a long while.
I've seen the videos. It appears to work pretty well, just slower than a pullmax. Karl is pretty inventive!
I've never heard that either but it makes a little sense. Let the brushes wear in to the commutator gradually. Good luck.
