Obviously, a generation with impeccable taste….
Yeah, I thought I was too, then I set that thing in there. Funny thing though, it’s got a mild cam and it was pretty docile until you jumped on...
Oh yeah, much better. I’ll have to get a set. Thanks.
This is how I remember seeing them. When I was a kid they were as popular as Willys and Fiats at Lions. I still want one. [ATTACH]
Now your talkin’….
I always thought that those 2dr wagons would make a great hot rod. I ordered the adapters for the BBC pump, I have a pump. The front cover is a...
I think I’ve made the big decision to put my 392 Hemi in my chopped channeled and shortened ‘33 Ford pickup. I have a 6-71, Cragar manifold, 3”...
Budget36: Yeah, I’ve got two mini-splits, one at each end of the shop. In spite of the tall roof, in 15 minutes I have to turn one off or it gets...
I’m waiting for some stuff to be delivered so I decided to not be lazy and mock stuff up just to be sure. I got the adapter and my TH400 case...
I cut and fit the Trans-Dapt crossmember to fit where my measurements told me it needed to go. But there’s a little problem…. [ATTACH] Yeah, if I...
Nailhead, chrome firewall, candy red. Wow, change that brown interior to black and white and that’s perfect in my eyes. Maybe add a chrome V8-60...
I would call Morrison, S&W and/or Chris Alston and see what they have. I’m sure they have been down that road before. Might be easier than...
Once the government mandated tougher smog controls, cars got pretty lame. If a change is order, I think ‘71 and older would be a logical choice....
With the holiday and family in town shop time was limited but yesterday I made an executive decision to install the Chrysler and build front motor...
I like the irony of the 409 Corvair. The cheapest economy car available in the era paired with the most powerful high performance engine in the...
Kinda the opposite of this thread. Never did find any history on this one. You would think someone somewhere would have had some information on...
Absolutely incredible…..
Is that an Offy 2x4 manifold? In line with all of the rest of the outstanding details, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Weiand, to match the...
I learned my shop organization skills from the Irv Cohen school, aka Drag Machine. Everything goes anywhere at any given time. The only sacred...
It sure is. A skid plate from one of the old rigid frame basket cases I built. One of the few items left from my old Harley days. I sold my last...
Had appointments and stuff that cut into my progress but I’m fitting the boxing plates. With the ‘33 double frame, it’s a little more trouble than...
Let us know when you decide what to do. You know, inquiring minds and all that….
And add some horsepower. I bet that little 215 can’t break those big tires loose. Lol
I got enough weld on the crossmember to keep it in place. I made little plates to connect the front and back flanges of the crossmember to the...
I’m in the process of positioning the crossmember and I decided to do a little experiment. I have the chassis at the height in the back as...
I made my own from early Ford front springs long before Speedway offered them. It was a ‘27 T with a SBC. It rode nice and handled like a go kart....
I agree, Ford did a nice job with the fenders on these trucks.
I think when Porsches and BMWs started appearing on the streets with the satin paint jobs, it kind of tainted the “outlaw” effect of painting a...
Oh boy, I forgot that those wonderful cars had that kind of front suspension. I guess my question is; does it feel like the whole front suspension...
Yeah, I was hoping that there was no stress on the front crossmember that might indicate that the frame was twisted or racked. All good. Whew!
