Kits are cheaper, and I've honed and re-fit the kit while still on the spindle assembly. So that's faster. But,, results may vary.
I had full length headers on both of my 56 cars. They came with the cars when I bought them as projects, so don't know brand. They are from quite...

Thanks, I'll check it out. I did, logged in and put it in my Wish list.

I was able to scrape some spray bomb black paint off of the steering column in my Nomad. Tedious, used a razor blade. Get what you can off with...

Keep on plugging along, you're doing great. I did check on the Duvall link you posted, wow, beautiful work. Probably more attainable for me, in...

@BJR that's some neat work.
Do you mean like a C2 Corvette retrosound radio? There are a couple of companies that manufacture radios for the C2. Not sure if they will work...
Congrats on the award, and thanks for all of the pictures. That's a nice trio of rods.

I'm thinking that they would have to be 1/2 the diameter of whatever bolt/mandrel you are using for the tubing. That way the 2 of them would...
@RodStRace , that's what I usually do, is start a double flare to get a bubble, and its' good. But, often when it's still in the car, you don't...

On the list of want-to-have, just wanted a quick measurement this afternoon. Going to check around locally, to see who has what in meantime.
That's the thing, I don't have those. Going to get someone that has them to come by, but came up with this in the meantime. Have an inside mic,...
