I am looking for Pontiac 8 lug drums. Don't need good or rebuildable lining. Prefer ones with RH lug nuts and fronts but would consider others....
hope she is doing well.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I made these this past year for my shop. A HEAVY DUTY bead roller and a pullmax type mini-hammer.
CArbuilder, are you going to send the photos?
[ATTACH] This is the early Olds wheel that I used on my 34. It was made smaller in Dia and leather covered. I also did this back in 65 on my 57...
I have put an 61 Olds wheel on my 57 Ford pick-up years ago. What I did was cut off the Ford shaft and graft on the Olds shaft, below the top...
IMHO the Mustang II spindles are way too light weight!!! I don't like the fact they were on my 56 pick-up when it bought it. I mine only has the...
in June of 2010 I met them at the LA Roadster Show. Arranged for them to pick up my bumpers, headlight rings, and mirror brackets in Mesa, AZ....
a friend uses diesel fuel to spray down the underside of his motorhome.
If you are running it on the street you will have to either run a separate kill switch. A mag does not use 12 volt input. It needs a ground to...
Absolutely no advantage for street use. Made for racing. In fact the better ones for racing have a cable that allows the driver to fine tune the...
Yes, it is bolted to the floor. It will pivot around by loosening three set screws.
Since everything that bolts on seems to need three hours of machine work, my mill and lathe. If I could only have one welder, I would keep my...
If there is not a spring shop in you area, you can use a big hammer and a anvil. It just takes a long time. 'I think with a stock rear end you...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] found the better photo and one of the grinder
JUst finished my reciprocating hammer and power bead roller[ATTACH] HAve also built my own disc sander.
I would be leery of a Speedway axle. They sell a lot of Chinese crap. Lowering the rear that much will require C-ing the frame and cutting the...

The VHT will work great if you sandblast or heavy glass bead them first. Of course you could go porcelain, that looks really great. I did the...
[ATTACH] My wife wanted me to build this for her to put in the back yard. Now I just need to attach it to the down spout on the rain gutter
The Wow factor??? More like the Why?? factor. If you can find it, they bell housing from an early Chevy truck with the Hydro should work. I know...
Here in AZ I installed an Old Air system in a customers 57 Chevy pick up. Told him he would not be happy. They gave him a R12 condenser, and when...
You are a nice guy. Most would have bought the truck and then resold for an obscene profit.
I agree! Especially the ones that ask what color should I paint it. I think some people just want to make sure someone will like their car, so...
[ATTACH] I had a friend vacuum form this from AC material.
We used to make gas tanks for the early Scorpion helicopters. We used a bung just like what was shown and a SW sender and gauge.
Build what you want to drive. IMHO, people who restore have no imagination. A few years ago I bought a 57 T-Bird. It was a near perfect car that...
All of the specialty insurers I have talked with require the car to be garaged. Some have severe limits on mileage as to what type of driving you...
IMHO, I would not trust a bolt in C notch kit. Why did you remove the other leaves in the first place? Was it to lower the truck, to get a better...
I use a radiator checker to pump up the pressure. You don't give the dimensions, but it could oilcan slightly, the vibration causing future...
