One finished middle of the pack, the other was a DNF. Ran out of gas. But we relayed some fuel and he was back in time for post-drive hamburgers. :D
Merry Christmas everyone! Gosh, it’s been ten years to the day since I started this thread. Ten years! My sincere thanks to anyone who still...
Yeah, PowerGen doesn't recommend putting a fan on their alternators, but guys do it. If you want to use a fan on your PowerGen, I'll sell you the...
I love the grilles on those old Nashes. They make the car look like it has a "Big ole cheesy grin," as @anthony myrick would say.
The wagon next to it is also intriguing.
Maybe "RIBBIT" is available.
Thanks. I'll take all these "looks too nice" comments as a compliment to our patching and misdirection prowess. Looking at this car is like...
Funny you mention the lights. Rebecca actually likes the googly-eyed look of those bent buckets. You know the song Waltzing Matilda? This is more...
Delivery day came, and Matt picked me up for the 200-mile drive south. We took the hood off so it wouldn’t launch itself somewhere along I-5. Only...
We made similar comments as it progressed. :D
I get what you're saying, but... we had absolutely nowhere to put it. It had been offered around repeatedly, with no takers. It should have been...
Now to me, as a hotrod guy, I like the exposed engine look. But Rebecca insisted she wanted a hood. The original hood was long gone. But we found...
More to come once the Hamb server settles down. It's not accepting images at the moment. We'll get there.
We got started by winching the Nash onto a trailer and hauling it to the shop. The thing was more-or-less held together by moss, and thankfully it...
Of course you would, @anthony myrick. Of course you would. :D Bear with me everyone. The Hamb is bonking at the size of my image files. I have to...
This story begins with a gal named Rebecca, childhood friend of my wife. For several years she’s been restoring her grandparent’s old farmhouse in...
When you log into a website (such as the Hamb), the site puts a cookie on your machine; anytime you return, the site will look for that cookie. If...
Polyurethane does not have UV protection. But SPAR Polyurethane does. It's for boats, after all, which see a lot of sun. I used it on my truck's...
My youth was misspent on Corvairs and Sunbeams, so I really dig oddball stuff. And they don't get much odder than this! I love all your little...
Well, despite my speedster being back on the road and participating in club events, not to mention @Hitchhiker ’s ongoing shop move, progress has...
I've successfully repaired similar, and I'm a rank amateur. Weld the holes, and fill the pits with USC All Metal. [ATTACH]
@K13 nailed it. Here's a pic from the link he provided: [ATTACH]
Take a section of old speedometer cable or 1/4" wire cable and chuck it into an electric drill. Feed the cable down the water jacket holes and run...
The cylinder you describe (10" diameter, 20" long) would hold 6.8 gallons, according to this online Tank Volume Calculator.
Here's what I learned: Anytime you have an unusual title situation, use the DMV office that is closest to the state patrol inspection station....
I really like the look of original A shells, particularly the early style. I was going to run one on my '29 PU, until I stumbled on an original...
So far I've found two Fultons in my buying travels. Both were plastic. One was at a garage sale. Actually, my wife found that one. When she saw...
OK, what the heck. I'm reviving this old thread to alert y'all that the 100th anniversary installment of the Pig-N-Ford Races are happening right...
Generally, if you tell people you have "a speedster" they will assume you drive a Porsche. Anymore, I just tell people I have an early '20s...
Sad to hear. He was a good guy to engage with, and had a lot of spirit. Thank you for letting us know, so we can mourn his passing and celebrate...
