Wouldn't stay rigid enough, particularly once you start to get heat into the tube. You'd still have alignment issues, defeating the purpose. Mathius
I still don't understand the advantages of using the cast iron manifold instead of making headers? An appearance thing to give it an era look?...
Excellent points, and I can think of an example I saw the other day that was a direct reflection of your first two points. We had some roof...
YES! That's what I was trying to remember. BIM. I've never used it so I can't really honestly criticize it, but I know that sometimes we get...
I'm right there with you, I mean that's what bookmarks are for. But sometimes sites change. If it's really important I pdf it. And the...
It's taken me a long time to get on the right career path to where I can start spending money on my own rod. I absolutely LOVE the homemade tool...
That's your opinion. Personally I think the guy being judgmental is just as bad as someone with a superiority complex. Neither one of them...
Whoa, we are in no way, shape or form, talking about the same thing. First off, gi joe isn't even real combat, so what kinda of comparison is...
Actually, autocad is dated now, everyone's using solidworks or they're using cad's 3d rendering, or add-on widgets for autocad. I know the local...
I agree with your choice of a/c, but the comment "lets see your car" that gets thrown around bugs the sh*t out of me, and in a way makes you as...
So you cut your own glass then. Now are you able to do that with cars that have the newer tempered, shatter glass, whatever its called? Anyone...
Not a fan of the grille (I like the skulls you had originally, anymore pics of those?) but just an awesome build. The rims look a lot better with...
See, not to criticize anyone else, all the pics in this thread are awesome, but this is what I think when I hear pedal car. Can you give a quick...
Yeah. I guess I could rivet it, but I'm still concerned about the linkage arm being bent. Mathius
I have my own powdercoating equipment, so while I am inexperienced with it, the cost to me is almost nothing for the powdercoating since I already...
Last but not least I have a question about this chamber in the pic where the pump plunger assembly was located. I believe that's a ball bearing...
Here's another set of pics that shows the shape of this thing. Rods are totally bent out of shape, tons of rust and corrosion. I'm gonna order...
I did the tear down. Here's some pics of what I'm dealing with. I'll try to post them in separate messages. I have no idea what the rules are...
What rear end was on the '54? I read an article in a pontiac rag about putting 98 and up s-10 rear discs on a 10-bolt. There were extra steps...
I've always wanted to make my own caliper brackets. How do you guys set the calipers? Do you just center them over the rotor edge? And how much...
You know what. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm not going to argue with you about what it takes to make a quality product...
huh. Yeah.. I always thought you painted them, then sanded the paint off and polish. Mathius
Wow, seriously? That's what you got out of that. Point is, craftsman USED to make quality tools, not disposable crap, and I don't have to hunt...
I understand that, but they're obviously making no attempt to expand to the casual customer, and as long as the mechanics continue to pay the high...
Dude, seriously... I know I'm new here, but let it go. I'm sure that's the exact reason why that stuff is banned because people get too damn...
I love Edsel's. I wasn't around in the 50's and I heard they were fire hazards, but they're just cool looking cars. And I'm sure by now whatever...
I second that notion. The first body panel repair I did was on my floor pans for my Malibu and I didn't have very good cutting tools. I ordered...
I think it's a combination of all the hollywood bs over the last 10 years that discovery channel's put out and just a lot of bad information out...

Depends on what you're trying to attain, really. I don't care for a lap joint because it leaves a space where rust can form on the inside if it...
