Here is a free on-line book about scratch building. http://www.hotrodders.com/scratch-built/Cover Chapters 8 & 9 will probably be of the most...
I do everything including building the bodies from scratch. Details of both builds can be found here:...
I'll steer clear of the debate about the advisability of a "first timer" tackling a scratch built body. But for those who might consider doing...
I'm a little late to the party, but here is another scratch built roadster body. The build thread is here...
Since this thread got resurrected anyhow, I thought I would add my scratch builds to the list. This roadster was finished in 2006. All steel and...
Ah, I understand your point. The builder calls it a "clone", I think only in the sense that he wants to make clear this is a copy, replica or as...
I'm not sure what you mean?
Some real beauties on this thread. This is one on the low-buck end of the spectrum that I made for my scratch built roadster. The intake holes...
Very effective way to create a body Harrison. Australian rodder, Rob (Chuck) Berry hand built this 34 Ford replica body by cutting appropriately...
Ah yes. I'm very familiar with that one. In fact, a clone was done of it by an Australian hobbyist and I have about a dozen pictures of it,...
You got any links? I tried to google it and came up with nothing. I seem to have a vague memory of it but would like to see some pics.
Sorry for the delayed response but here are a couple pics of my hand fabricated cars and bodies. This roadster was built some years ago and I...
If you like to "run thru the gears" with your automatic, I would advise against the cheapie Mr. Gasket shifter. There are no stops or gates so...
Personally, I don't think it is out of proportion at all. And I can tell you from experience, you'll apprechiate the ability to hunker down...
This is my daily driver from May 1 - Oct 31. After that there is just too much snow up here in Northern WI. to contend with. I average 8,000...
I think it's a Kawasprucey.
The first time I attended I started to cry just seeing all the cars at the Registration Center. This year's show is going to be particularly...
Thanks C9. This valve actually belongs to a friend of mine. He said he did open it up and inspected the O-ring - which looked fine. So maybe...
Anybody ever tackle a stem leak in a Speedway adjustable proportioning valve? Can they be repacked or re-sealed somehow?
Thanks Nashman. Does it run all day?
And where, exactly, is it in Milwaukee?
Further wondering...possibly weld the rod on as you suggest but then fill around the outside of the rod (lead or bondo) in a very long taper (like...
I run this shifter in my roadster. It's low cost (I think I paid $69) but has a couple drawbacks. Pass on this one if you intend to do any speed...
Maybe NEXT year. Still needs a lot more "short run" miles on it before I'll feel comfortable driving it to MN. Sure would be fun though. Dewey
Good idea, but it would have taken some pre-planning. If you look at the final picture above and check the view through the trunk, you'll notice...
I'll be there with my pickup. We usually park on the furthest street to the east - parallel with Snelling and right around the "women's center"...
I'm new to the site and must say it is a rather humbling experience to go through this thread and see all the great rides. I'm a bit hesitant to...
Yes, the truck is also scratch built but I didn't build it. It was built by Charlie's Rod Shop (Charlie Titman) in Vancouver B.C. and I took...
For those of you who can't find decent tin to start your project, you might want to consider forming up your own body. Here are a couple shots of...
Hey Louver Dude, I used to live in Horicon, just a short hop from Oakfield. Great to see all the WI folks on here.
