That is exactly it............ They could make, (and have), quality parts. But our companies, and others around the world, go there because it's...
Use a ford f1 or f100 tie rod. I used 2 of them. For a couple of reasons. 1) cheap. 2) more importantly ford tie rods are thick wall, (aprox...
Pretty sure you are looking at an old sprint car body.
I would replace the boot first. If the boot is bad, or missing, (ask how I know this) the booster will not work. If the master cyl is off, the...
Yall are spoiled........... I never saw a picture of a car for sale. You called, if you liked what the seller said, or it was somthing you were...
I find this funny. Not because someones on your car, but because they (wives, girlfriends) go nuts cause some (chick) is on your car. But my...
Picked mine up at Walgreens. Heard The Hot Rod Company has them also if you can't find locally.
I bought a set from him for the 94's. They may be cast over seas, (most everything is) but the quality seams ok. They work good. Throttle plates...
If you look at the subscription cards in the magazines they throw one in here and there for 1 year of R&C and 1 year of SR for $17 + $3 shipping....
Beach Ball. It was on TMC Wensday nite. They ran several beach movies. And does anyone who saw that know the car? That movie was made in 1964 and...
Little Johnny is alive and well. My Grandson is 3, maybe a little too little to be of alot of real use, but he is always right there to help. He...
had similar problem with a 3 x 2 setup using 94's. was loading up so bad would not run below 2000 rpm. all rebuilt with new parts. new power valve...
This is what I did for my 28 RPU. Made from 16 ga. Wrapped with some 1" x 1/8" and some 3/16" round for bead. Made an insert from salvaged SSteel...
I searched through several older threads on Dixco tach, looking for a schematic for the internal wiring, and discovered many guess's and incorrect...
I thought I would be a cop magnet. They have totally ignored me for 2 1/2 years. Almost bugs me that they haven't even stopped me to see what the...
That's alot of bending. If it were me, I'd cut it just past the the splined portion, flip it and reweld it. Of course you need to bevel the joint...
I don't suggest that. I share that appreciation of the lengths someone might go. I would not want to be looked down upon if I didn't do it the...
That is probably correct, but I said it nicer, I hope. That was the point or question. I know some are obsessive over one thing or another, I just...
If you like em run em. I would never presume to tell anyone how they should build a car. I would give my (probably worthless) advice only if...
"It takes a mechanic to fix it with a hammer and chisel" If you thought that was meant to be taken seriously...........well I don't know. It was...
No. Just an exageration of an observation. I don't build cars that way, I don't expect anyone else to. I like the fact I can cut metal with a...
Disclaimer: Do not take offense. This is just an exageration of observations overall in this thread. Ment to be taken tongue in cheek. It's been...
^^^^^^^^^^^ And so it begins.............................
Good for you, on both the rod, and trying to build it the old way. A lot are missing my point or rather question. In my opinion you can still...
Yeah and I can't even afford all the real parts. It wasn't meant at all as a suggestion that it's Not Period correct if it was built with ebay or...
Just wanted to say, some really nice posts. Too many good ones to comment on them all. My hats off to you guys with the determination to try to...
All I can say is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET..................:D
I for one do not think you are NUTS. There probably was I time that I would have. Now I find it somewhat amusing that a guy will be dead set on no...
I've got 3 projects. A 66 Chevy C10, a 48 Ford/50 International hot rod truck, and a 28 Model A RPU. I drive em all, or will when the 28 is done....
That is very true. Just like you can't go to a junk yard, (not very much) anymore for parts. It's mostly late model, the old stuff is late 70's...
