Digging that drain pan man! Very clever indeed.
I know my eye's aren't what they used to be but, what exactly are those front shocks supposed to be connected to? Am I missing something here or...
Sounds like the corrosion you have is a little more than just surface rust. To be clear, I only use their Metal Prep on clean bare metal. I don't...
POR-15 Metal Prep. Dissolves surface rust and leaves a zinc coating. Shake it, spray it on wet, let it work a minute and wipe dry with a paper...
Going to be one sharp RPU! Curious about powder coating and the machined mating surfaces like the quick change bells. Did they mask them off? Are...
Cool find there Lloyd. Those are fairly light weight but I heard they are hard to find parts for. That there looks mostly complete. Should be a...
What a treasure trove! I wish I was closer but, if I were, they would have a lot of trouble getting me out of there. Hopefully this stuff gets...
I really want these wheels for my coupe. What size are your rear wheels and curious when you bought them and how much you paid? I understand if...
This past week I installed the License Plate light and the Tail Lights. Here's a cool little gem I picked up some years ago. [ATTACH] Turns out...
Here's this week's work on this crazy ass project. Got the rubber Trunk bumper diameters and heights turned down to fit using dial calipers, the...
Indeed! Those Trophies are absolutely fantastic! Kudos to Bandit Billy.
@rod1 Thank you for the kind post.
I'd drive it:D
Certainly you need a quality break in lube during initial cranking before oil pressure is built and quality oil with a minimum amount (1200ppm) of...
Well, the way I understand it, before break in the lifter faces and cam lobes are not perfectly matched. The extreme pressure loading can be...
Thanks man! Just have to finish it before they start throwing dirt over me:D
Sorry this happened to you again Big Daddy. These days we have to be checking the lifter faces for the proper crown and the cams for proper lobe...
Happy Labor Day everyone. August was a very rough month for me on a personal level but, I did manage to get some more work done on the car. I...
You might contact Auveco and inquire about clips for your panel thickness. They have several versions of that style clip. You can also download...
Sounds like you folks are in for a real good time. X2 for Buffalo Trace. A little White dog will cure just about anything....:D [ATTACH]
Looks like the Mother Lode of Tri-5 parts. Unreal man!
So picking up where I left off on the rear frame horns. I welded the filler pieces into the notches. [ATTACH] Metal finished welds and rounded...
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;...
