Don't be ridiculous! Funny enough, your thread is one I've been lurking on to see how the T body fits on the A frame, so thanks for the good info!
These bushings came with the front shackles but were a few thou too big to fit into the perches. I shaved a little off on my old Southbend lathe...
I reversed the main leaf on my shop press, which was easier than I thought it would be. I also radiused the leaf ends. I had to go aftermarket...
[ATTACH] I cut out the nasty old, bent crossmember and tacked in a replacement that Scooter gave me. [ATTACH] I got these bones from Iron Trap...
Hello HAMB! Damn it's been a long time.... You might remember my chopped Kaiser build from the late 2000s on here. What I loved the most about...
Someone tipped me off that all the pictures are now broken. I hate to see this build thread that meant so much to me go away, but fixing all the...
Really nice work Tom, and great seeing you on Sunday. I'll have my photos up on Speedhunters later this week if you want to check them out.
Turns out the tab in the middle of my picture should be attached to the gear part on the right. I'll weld it back together and cross my fingers.
Help! Does anyone know how this should go together? It's a 1959 Chevy Parkwood wagon tailgate window regulator. That's exactly what came out of...
I bet if you took off that top windshield you'd run a 17!
I'll be passing through Vegas soon and would like to check out some shops. The only thing I really came across online was Bobby Spade but their...
Thanks guys. I think this issue of HOT ROD should be on the stands for another week or so.
Thanks guys, the HOT ROD people treated me well. Just got back from the Long Beach Motorama and met a few HAMBers like Bad Bob and Andy with the...
The car looked absolutely amazing out in the sun. I'm writing a little blurb on it for Speedhunters.
I'll be there for the first time, without my car though.
Haha, nice!
Nice! I love this build.
I was there all day. Saw some 5.70s in the Funny Cars! I also saw a couple great mild customs from the Locos Banditos CC. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
We don't need two gg shows a year anyways! Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. I'll be in a Speedhunters shirt or jacket wandering around by myself. How do I find you HAMBers? :)
No I didn't mean his comment was a dig, just that 5th place isn't really worth mentioning. :) That's why I was surprised he brought it up....
I've come to grips with the fact that my car is not a "points" car. I'm sure the cars that won had fewer flaws or got points for shaving body...
Sorry I have not looked into it. Maybe check the comments on YouTube someone may have posted it there.
I am running Slams too, and that's why I didn't put shocks on initially because everyone said you don't need them. You might be able to get away...
Screw it, I just ordered these: http://thorbros.com/shock-relocating/front-shock-mounting/front-shock-relocating-kit Thanks for the push to get...
Specific to a Caprice chassis or universal? I probably just need to quit putting it off. I'm really wishing I had shocks for that video now....
Yuck, I don't think I'll ever put skirts on anything.
I was working on my car when JF's car showed up on the scene. He built his much faster since he has a shop and employees. I wouldn't say...
