Hey, Jnaki; Aluminum center-spiders in 20's(+/-) weren't that uncommon. I have 1, which I haven't ID'd yet, that is a 4-flat(ish)-spoke, that has...
Hmmm... Boy howdy; I can think of more than a few parts I'd like to see that thing kick out. Not that I could do it, much less afford them... ;( ....
Thanks. :D . Marcus...
Seems a *lot* of folks either forgot, - or choose to ignore -, Fords' problems w/the v8 when it was 1st introduced. & there were many, for awhile....
El*CATRIN ; "They were a single source for a steering box and pitman arm I needed." &, maybe not... I'll suggest you contact Lares Corp, in...
Tighten the correct-type puller up hard, use an airgun w/a wide/thick tip on either the pitman arm top, or against the puller shaft. Maybe both,...
Or swinging a 15+lb sledge. Marcus...
On the rotten/"soft" wood-restoring epoxy: you want one that will take a *very* long time to kick. Like 12 hrs or longer, so that it can soak...
^^^ Working from the bottom up is easier. None is actually easier, just relative... Flat shovel w/teeth & a bottom-brace for leverage helps....
A while back(a long while...), iirc, Steve Archer made a 40" one, for the VolksRods. Don't know who got his molds. Another one might've been Cal...
Swade; good use for those things, looks nice. I like. I've got 2 gennie 14" ET-IVs', can't ever see using. Unless I get crazy & narrow the...
IIRC, VW used Westfalia for a lot of their conversions, & one other I can't remember right now. Ford used Waldoch for a fair amount of theirs,...
I've heard of, n seen pics of, the Klenz, but not that one. Maybe it's just the angle of the pics, but that mini-qc case looks really thick. Also...
Thank you. Never saw one before, at least what I can remember. That one has very nice lines. : ) . Marcus...
If you haven't fixed the old gas tank yet, nor started w/the replacement flooring, you might consider an early('64-ish -> '66 at least) mustang...
Wow, nice rad-top. What is it from, & ~yr? Marcus...
I've come to expect that from the old tires used as rollers. Just a matter of Time, esp since most sit on sand or the ground anyways. Even sitting...
Nice touch. :) . Marcus...
No, there were the CC mag articles, then a "Feature car how-to-build" that was a reprint of just those articles in 1 book, then the...
Not dreaming Lynn. I have one, bought new, might even be in the orig mailing envelope, that is now sorta worn, due to the many readings, over the...
&, it's *never* boring in his "classes". :D . You either think, follow along, or get a headache. :D . Marcus...
Because they don't give them away as-needed-replacements for life? :D . Damn stuff doesn't have a my-life-time warranty, nor do they last...
^^^ :D . Marcus...
"In the back of my mind has always been Candy Lime Gold, like the A Brothers used on several early 60's customs, and I think I'm gonna try it....
Car tires, idk, but bus & semi - recaps galore. Just can't(shouldn't) be used on steering axle. Tire guy at each garage, had a tire-groove-cutter...
^^^ That could have an interesting back-story. Anyone know it? Marcus...
CLR might remove the rust, & let whatever paint is left underneath, show through. ??? I hate rust... I still think the AMC red/white/blue scheme...
Side mirror emblem looks very much like the Stude Hawk design of '62->'64. Hood ornament design I've seen before, but can't place it right now....
Stargate chamber, too? ;D. Almost the perfect Retreat. :) . Marcus...
W/"Rim-Blow" too? Touchy stuff, 'till it gets used to. Solves the "death-grip" on the wheel some folks have, & funny, to boot. :) . Marcus...
