A Boner, as you’re finding out, there are many combinations that will accomplish what you’re trying to do. Many variables go into the decision on...
Thanks for your thoughts, that’s why I’m asking. I’m just having trouble diagnosing what could cause the “lean” both front and rear. Body mounts...
That’s a good point, they are fresh springs, with almost no miles on them. But “the rest of the story” is that it was about 1 & 1/2” out of...
I have a’56 Buick Special that sits crooked. The drivers side sits exactly 1” lower than the passenger side, in front & back. This is after...
That’s looking great Matt! Way to stay at it. You’ll be cruising it down the road before you know it!
Already on our way . . . driving from Wisconsin! We’re on the road now, going to GNRS, then Havasu Deuces in March. Our ‘32 Phaeton will stay out...
RIP Breeder. I was fortunate to know him, and share many good times back when the Pile Up and Rust Revival were going strong. Our thoughts and...
I have a Boling Brothers setup in our ‘29 Phaeton we’re building. Very well built unit. Only had to drill one hole to mount it, all others lined...
Thanks for your responses! To clarify - we already had the axle and are just trying to use what we have. As we all know, that sometimes means...
Basically stock Model A front end, with the exception of a Super Bell dropped axle And ‘40 Ford spindles and brakes. The Super Bell has 35” perch...
I forgot to mention, we’re running 7.50/16s, so a 31” tall tire. I’ve read that stock A’s have a 3.12 first gear, and most had 3.78 or 4.10 rear...
Building a ‘29 A Phaeton with my sons and grandsons. We’re trying to use parts we already have as much as possible. The original banger is...
Check Rootlieb’s website, they list measurements for a lot of stock Ford hoods.
I used closed cell rubber on my ‘36 Ford. I didn’t want the standard fender welt look. It’s available in a variety of thicknesses and widths from...
FYI - I talked to Jason at Pete & Jakes last May about their axles. I ran across one of their axles "used", but only used for mock up, so I wanted...
Does anyone have experience with the Mr. Roadster windshield frame (for a sedan) offered by Speedway? How is the quality, fitment, etc? Is Bob...
Sorry for not noticing this thread again after my other post. It was no big deal to pull it into alignment with a ratchet strap, and then...
I've got one of these on my '32. I called them when I originally got it, asking the same questions you're talking about. They claimed they are all...
You're making great progress! And it looks fantastic. You'll be driving it before you know it! ;)
Great day, as usual! The Wisconsin Hot Rod Hundred never disappoints! A good time cruising with friends & like minded car nuts. Thanks to...
I agree with the majority of the "high mileage guys" here. I'm not ancient, but I seem to have a string of health issues. Many days what I want to...
Giddy Up!! This is a sure sign that spring is just around the corner! :)
Looking good! What are your overall build plans?
You are what you think about.
Sorry, but I also have to give Rebel an unpaid endorsement. I'm not an expert, but I've built a few cars from the frame up over the years. I've...
Bob who?? ;) The first time I met Bob was at Bonneville many years ago, but I felt like I already knew him from the HAMB. We've run into him many...
Thanks to the Cross Members & all the organizers of this fun event! It may have been a little soggy, but we've been wet before! :) It was great...
Take care of yourself Bob. We're thinking of you guys. I'm sure you'll be back to 100% soon!
I've had Grundy for years now. One difference I found was that Hagerty wouldn't insure our 2002 Trans Am as a "collector car", and Grundy would...
We haven't made them all, but the years we made it were always fun! I hope to be there this year again!
