These just showed up today - thanks Seon! Just so you don't feel too bad the ones you sent aren't the real deal Kustom Kraft - but they were...
Just like the title says... I remember years ago King of Dice sold them on eBay. I could never even afford the repops but 10 years on I'm...
I'd guess some sort of galvanic reaction w/ the antifreeze serving as an electrolyte. I like to use good quality wire (e.g. not eBay or Harbor...
Here's some info I'd taken down a while back... My tires were rubbing with 6.70-15's on 15 x 5 w/ 3" backspace on the stock rear end. The 8" rear...
I don't have the numbers but it seems to me that the Maverick rear end is still a bit wide. I have a spare Mav rear end but ended up putting an...
I bought this Chinesium unit off eBay. I wanted to go the Ford regulator route but couldn't find one for whatever reason. Anyhow I ran all the...
Just to repeat what's been said above... make sure the reflectors are good and maybe consider playing with one of those tail light strobes. You...
You've done some really nice work w/ the 4-door. I'm looking forward to seeing the new ride and what you do with that as well. Be sure to put a...
I'll second what Da Tinman said... it looks as if you're using gas wire without the gas. Flux wire still creates a shielding gas 'cloud' around...
Nice '50 coupe! Looks like a great starting point. That Fulton visor is worth ~$500 on ePay if you're not going to use it. I sold mine and was...
Thanks for the great idea. At times I get so much glare from the overhead fluorescents on the inside of my lens that I've had to turn some of the...
Any updates from this summer? I didn't realize how long it's been!
Sorry.. .meant 5 x 4.5" as in Ford pattern... In any case it's not even close to what the guy thought or was told. Thanks for your help guys.
I think you're right... I'm not able to look at mine right now but it does look somewhat familiar. My stock '51 rear end is ~57 1/4" when I've...

I need some help in identifying a rear end. The guy who has it was told it's a Ford 9" with 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. It is about 54.5" wide from...
Anyone know where I can find some specs on Lee's ride (i.e. rear end, what's the Allstate box under the dash, suspension, etc.)? I tried searching...
Honestly it has me reconsidering my current color scheme.... been this way since ~1985. I used to think I needed some wild paint but starting to...
Does anybody know what wheel covers Lee's running? They're familiar looking but what exactly they are escapes me...
I'm amazed by what you're able to create! So cool! What are the lower rear bullets / dagmars from?
I like what you're doing w/ the grille. How are you putting that radius in the surround pieces - not the corners but around the whole perimeter?...
I have a quick question regarding wheel backspacing for any of you guys running 8" Maverick rear ends. I currently have the stock (56"?) rear end...
Thanks for the link! After browsing through the pics I think I've figured it out. I'm fairly sure it's the stock grille opening molded in. As...
[ATTACH] Do you know what these teeth or bullets are from? How about the surround, is it just the stock opening molded in?
Not mine but maybe something similar someday! [ATTACH]
I'd always vote for weld... easy for me to say though. I'm not so good w/ the thin stuff. Maybe give the welding a shot and if it doesn't turn...
Looking great! I think no skirts can look really good with the right wheels / hubcaps. I also like the idea of a flush mounted skirts similar to...
Crazy Legs - how did you add the radius on the inside corners of your gauge panel? Also, what made you decide to go bag-over-axle instead of...
