You know what? For over forty years I've always wondered why they hammer welds on panels joins. I've never tried it, so never questioned it, and...
LOL! I think we build our cars the same way.
I am seriously digging Joey Ukrop's Gaz license plate light in the San Francisco Roadster build thread. I might have to borrow that one for mine!
I born and raised just up the road (50), graduated from EDHS in '85, when cruising was still a thing. That main drag from the bell tower (and...
Same. I tried, but I failed. I've always had some sort of toy while my children have been alive, and several old pony cars as they were going...
Jebbesen, just laying that fender out on the chassis looks incredible to me. I really think you're on to something.
Koz, your cars are beautiful!
A bumbling, inept wannabe?
I've never seen an axle configuration like this before (I'm new to solid axles). What is this configuration referred to as? Is it done for...
Started—thank you.
Yessir. Thank you so much for documenting your experience.
The parts aren’t there, and when they are, they’re pretty pricey. My mortgage is more than half my take home, my 401k eats the rest. I can spend...
In this thread I have learned I am not really a car guy after all.
…and no serial number that I can see. Heavy sigh.
It's taken me over a month...but I finally made it through this thread. Joey--you not only inspire my hot rod tendencies, you make me want to be...
I'm at work right now...and I'm SOOOOOO tempted to go home and look! I'm off at midnight, but I know what I'm doing now. This is very good...
Just so I'm not confusing myself--because I am so damned new at this--did you mean to say half way around the crossmember, vice axle? And thank...
I have not--that's a great idea, and thank you for the Cali titling link. I've heard horror stories about the "500 Titles" fights and battles.
ras, unfortunately these parts didn't come with a title, and here in CA it's a huge PITA to get one done. Consequently, this one might never get...
So, a short intro. I've been a member for a bit, but I read more than I post. I'm 55, been doing car guy stuff for the last 40 years, but mostly...
I'm really enjoying this build.
Here's Don Waldron's Model A roadster that he's been building since the 60's. I've seen this bumper in person, and it's a thing to behold. It's...
Huh. Maybe replace that one missing bar with a highly polished brass piece. I like the gold crown idea. ETA: never mind! I see ya already...
I'm having a brain cloud over this. Wouldn't the starter cable with just a single solenoid only have power on it when starting? I'm not seeing...
