Car looks good as always Mr. C. Not fond of the white, but I do like the wheels; especially the wider rear wheels. Are those the 8" we discussed a...
The chassis looks good.
Love the color. Now I know what mine will look like once I paint it, I was wondering about that color. Car looks good. Keep at it.
Red, the car is coming together nicely. Keep up the good work and updates.
rustednutz has the advise that you should look into first. 9 out of 10 times this is the problem. I've seen people take the secondary air valve...
I'm not a fan of the raspy sound either. I went with 2-2" into a merge with a 3" outlet and a single flowmaster. It had a deep tone to it. Kinda...
Hard Work finally paying off. Car looks and sounds great. Keep at it.
Geezer that panel looks great as well. I'm built one for the 54 using the blade type fuses, I have plenty of them. The blocks/panels can be bought...
Get a battery tender. I have several and no battery issues, some of the batteries are a few years old. You can find these fairly cheap on the net.
Car looks great Dirty. Hopefully mine turns out as well.
Im doing this very thing now with a similar welding machine using a shielding gas. The machine will do the job no problem. What I would be...
I had to do this last winter for the same reason; same car in my drive way with jack stands by myself. Not too hard just a PITA. As mentioned you...
Im in the middle of doing a 2-link myself. The ends that the gauge store sales are good but the bag plates suck, I could have cut them with a...
Beautiful car. :)
Sorry I'm late. Good advise given. I use the old school welding hoods with a gold lens. Always using new or very clean clear lens. One thing that...
I dont know how I missed this thread, another member turned me on to it; awesome build. Im doing the LS swap in my 54 along with MII and ford...
Ive used the surface conditioning or paint and rust removal disc with some success. They do wear rather quickly though. Maybe after you get the...
LOL. The Mittler benders are nice also.
I bought a US Die and Tool bender almost 10 years ago. I purchased it after I first bought one of those benders that come with four aluminum dies....
They had a race out there back in October IIRC. I've also read that there would be some racing in 2013. Fun track to race on.
0-30 Ohms. I purchased one about a year ago, so I'm sure they're still available.
I bought 4 camshafts a few years ago when I was racing, still have 3 in running engines. Best camshaft purchase(s) ever. The last one that they...
I think that was the day I did mine last year, wife wasn't real proud of me.:); but when it's your only day off when else can it be done.
Thanks. 205/75-15 on stock 15x5 rims. I lowered it as discribed in reply #15 above. I modified the stock suspension, search stepped a-arms here on...
Every resource I've found show the rear track width to be almost 2" wider than the front. 56.69" front track width and 58.75" rear track width....
I found all the info here on the hamb, yea the search function sucks; but only because there is so much info here. This is what I did. Go to...
I've been following this build from the beginning. This is a bad ass build. After seeing the lower control arms you built I knew a real fabricator...
Bad Ass build. I'm looking to do the same suspension upgrades you did. Keep the updates coming.
