Joe....this is an awesome thread! It kind of makes me think that there might be some hope for humanity out there after all!! I wish I could have...
Your car is way too cool....it looks better every time you post a new pic. Here's a good link with data on how to measure a wheel bolt pattern:...
I'm pretty sold with one I bought from Northern Classic Trucks in Sterling Heights MI. Out of the box pic: [IMG] It went together pretty...
Well....I'm subscribed. I want to see your progress! I'm hoping for that "garage find" one of these days. Dan
I didn't notice any negative thoughts on this thread.....but then my wife says I need to pay more attention too. Great find...I'm hoping that...
Who is so heartless that they could crush a car that looks that cool?? I don't think I could do it.
I hear that Highway 50 has more "character" (well....OK...there are several legal brothels along the way), but it is also called the "loneliest...
Are you going to head back on Highway 50???
All good reasons....after I asked, I started thinking about it. I have covered a few fabric airplanes over the years. The "dope" that I used is...
I drove my son's car the opposite direction on Memorial weekend. I was just dropping it off to him in Colorado Springs. I hope I can do trips...
OK....I'll buy Overspray's reasoning on use of self etching primer. I would pay close attention to the product label with regard to temperature...
I'm not a real fan of self etching primers. Yeah....it eliminates a step, but they usually contain some phosphoric acid for the etch. The...
Subscribed....I want to see the pics too.
I'd be more interested in the sheet metal roller!
I hope it's not to late to weigh in on this thread. In my last job, for 5 years, I spent 60% of my time manufacturing in China and Mexico. We...
By the way....don't let the MEK get on any laquer paint...if you still use it. It'll cut right into it.
That's a good tip with the wax. I'll file that into the data bank for the next time. I use MEK for clean up. It used to be that I just soaked...
I've used Pro-Seal (polysulfide) in wet wing aircraft to make the riveted compartment into a fuel tank. Thiokol is the same stuff:...
I just bought some VR1....the box says it is a high-zinc oil for "off road" use. When did the VR1 go by way of the enviros??
I have trouble believing that a good crank broke in two just from falling over. Take a look at the fracture under a microscope. If there are...
.060 over might have pretty thin cylinder walls. There are plenty of 289 blocks around to find a standard bore one to start with. Are you saying...
Wow...this thread was a good read! Thanks for posting all of the pics! Dan
Hey Carter, Welcome from California. Good to see you getting an early start in your hot rod days. Dan
Hello, and welcome from California. I've spent a lot of time at Ft. Knox off and on over the past few years. That's a nice part of the country! Dan
I've had the oil pump drive shaft stick in the distributor hard enough to remove the umbrella washer. The usual thing is that the shaft stays in...
There are no lies....just lack of truth. At least that's what Einstein more or less implied. Go find someone who wants to sell & buy their car.
You might try a photography supply shop. I know that "fixer" for film developing is acetic acid which is vinegar, only not diluted with water...
And...another welcome from California.
I don't think I'll ever get to retire. If there's no oil I'll convert my car to natural gas.
I'd go with the heil coil....that or drill both bolts out so they're both bigger bolts.
