Thanks winduptoy! Unfortunately it is one hell of a long operation! :D @continentaljohn Thank you sir!
So here's another update. I decided to go ahead and mock up the last two rear body mounts. That required removing a couple square nuts that were...
Pretty sure it is. Lists the car on his profile page and posted the same picture shown in that magazine article here on post 269;...
Since you know where it is and if you have the title in your name I would think the county sheriff could assist you in retrieving your property....
Did your father sign over the title to the person that took possession of the car? If not, did you get the title transferred to your name when...
Sorry to say this but a lot of red flags being are ignored with this one. :eek:
Yeah, same here. For me it was Raybestos wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and brake hoses. When I opened the box I remembered what you said in your...
Yeah, that '57 grill bar looks sharp. Really cleans up the front end. GM should've done that but, then again, it wouldn't be so cool now.
Thanks for following along @05snopro440. Yep, lots of problems have cropped up along the way. Sometimes I brush off the seemingly simple things...
I like how you re-forced the ladder bar crossmember and ladder bar pick up points by triangulating them into the transmission cross member and...
So true. When I was young I would go to the local wrecking yards scrounging for parts. I remember finding a few interesting things under the seats...
Thanks @vtwhead. Yeah, I think sweating the details is the key to success. I did work at a National Lab for 39 years in the Science & Engineering...
Good morning everyone. Here's the latest on my project. Been working on a number of small, boring, but important details. A lot of time spent...
Nothing more exciting than rust removal. I'm marinating some good ole Ford brake parts in Wood bleach (Oxalic acid). One of the levers is worn and...
Always going to be some (hopefully very small) amount of wear metal floating around in any engine. It might be worth putting a magnetic drain plug...
Way to rock it big daddy, that's get'n shit done.
Probably poorly ground lifter faces without a proper crown. Maybe he could post a shot of the others?
WTF? Damnit man that sucks.
Ouch! Just when I was getting ready for Lloyd fest 2094:(
No problem Big Daddy, they make swing out side/door bar kits that can easily be bolted in just for those occasional track days.
You might be cheep, but I think you'd have a hard time passing as an idiot.
100%. Glad you brought this up. Improperly installed restraints can definitely cause some serious internal injuries. Extensive testing has been...
Yeah, but we're only on page 4 and there's a lot to learn about hose clamps.:oops:
Nothing like a long winded assumption.:rolleyes:
Just pick a number between 7.80-8.10 and cover the basics like, wheels studs, radiator overflow (no antifreeze), reverse lock out, neutral safety...
Yep, I agree, but them's the rules (or not!). I've seen guy's in line try and argue with the tech officials. It didn't go well for them.
Yep, I was there that day too and many many others. Raced there in the '80's and witnessed a lot of crazy $hit but man it sure was fun!
Well, a street car that races on an NHRA sanctioned track or a track that has adopted those same rules and runs 11.49 (7.35) or quicker. Regular...
It's just so the tech people can see full thread engagement on the lug nuts. 5 pt in a street car? Maybe thats new or just their rules. NHRA does...
That kind of stuff should not happen but, unfortunately it does, putting you behind the 8 ball! I wonder if any brake part companies test their...
