Gooloo gp4000 off Amazon. Its fantastic.
Just buy the coker firestone bias tires. I run them on all of my cars and have had zero issues. The people that complain about them just have roo...
Man I wish once a year. I drive my old junk daily. Over 30,000 miles in 2.5 years on my 1960 f100. My current project shoebox will take over nice...
And dont get me started on what local parts store charge for wiper blades. Absolutely ridiculous.
I buy my filters from Amazon. About 1/3 the cost of a local place so I buy 3 at a time. Vr1 is also available on Amazon for cheaper. I like...
When my miller died I bought an everlast. I absolutely love it. Welds way better than the miller for less than half the price.
2 from the Kennedy Bros that im drawing inspiration from for mine.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I couldn't agree more. They are the best looking hot rods! Here is mine in a couple differnt iterations. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
5 inch Sids axle, reversed eye main leaf, a few leaves removed on the front. Chassis engineering parallel rear leaves on the rear. That's how I...
Are in progress ok?[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've put almost 30k miles on my 60 f100 in the last 2.5 years. Its all I drive. The newest vehicle I own is an off topic 67 pony car. When my...
Some of these comments make me sad. Its just a car, a car that was built to drive. If I had a car I was afraid to drive in the rain I wouldn't...
My honest opinion is if the rear end you have is good and just needs brakes and such I would try the 3.78s. You can always order gears and do a...
Obviously im a big fan of 3.78s if I were to change to anything it would be the 3.54s not the 3.25s
With the 7.00s and 3.25s it puts you at 2500 at 70. With the 7.50s and 3.25s that's 2,428. With 7.50s and 3.78s it's 2,800 at 70. I've ran mine at...
I was told by Brandon at Eastbay Speed and Custom not to run 3.25s with a basically stock flathead or even a mild one. He runs 3.25s but has a...
My flathead powered roadster had 3.78s, 750x16s, and a column shift 3 speed. I regularly cruised at 80 mph. Easily kept up with a buddy that had...
I agree on not being cleaned out well but I've seen many original, never cleaned flatheads that never run hot. The problem with overheating has a...
Running hot is a myth. They will run forever as long as you keep oil and water in them and make plenty of power for an early ford. Down fall is...
2.78 gear with a 29" tire is 2,255 rpm at 70mph. 28" tire is 2,335 rpm. I have a shoebox with an 390 FE with a C6 and will be running a 2.79 with...
Straight linkage and save yourself a headache and find some 97s. You will be better off. Ive tried progressive linkage with 94s and straight...
I never put washing soda in mine. Just straight water and citric acid. Works in hours.
It's only been to the gas station once and picked the boys up from school once... haha! I need to get it out this fall.
Yup. Makes the fender a little more floppy but I didnt have any problems! My A sedan has them on it now. I need to raise the whole car a little...
I get that totally! You're going to have an amazing car!
I know it isn't traditional but the vintage air in my cars have save me multiple times.
I have all my driveshaft work done at Midwest Wheel on front street. Cheaper than Inland truck. Now I only get my driveshafts shortened there....
Fixing old Ford work. The lead seam on my shoebox coupe was bad. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The Wade Coupe. Also built by Brian Bass[ATTACH]
That chop looks very similar to my car i daily drove when I was 18-21 yrs old. Chopped shoeboxes are fun but you can't beat the proportions of a...
