"Don't let perfect get in the way of better" was one I was told.
That's gotta be more fun than cutting/welding/grinding! I'm enjoying following your progress. Keep up the good work.
I reckon you've nailed it Mark. You can see the join where the curved section meets the straight section near the front and the back end has the...
The windshield you need for a 1962 '4 window' is a W608 (same as '62 Impala coupe/convertible). The '6 window' 4dr hardtop had a taller roofline...
It's going to be a shame to paint over Chris's amazing work.
99% correct. I think you could have ordered whatever you wanted (convertible etc) if you were willing to pay for it, and wait for it. The vast...
Hey Anthony, front door beltline moulding is the same 1955 - 57 210 4dr sedan or wagon (LH = RH). GM # 4643355. Thanks for the photo's, some...
'70-'82 Corvette water pump has 3/4" shaft so a Corvette upper pulley won't locate properly on a regular SBC short pump. Can't offer any...
Much appreciated @TexasHardcore
Hi guys, does anyone have an old Isky catalog and can give me spec's for a SBC 300HL. I've tried to no avail to find this info on Isky's website....
Vintage Chassis Works rings a bell.
Oops, should have read your other thread first. My bad.
When I saw the title I thought we might be getting a walk-around video of the Chevelle:). Nice little truck by the way.
Any updates?
As far as stroker cranks etc, I'd apply the K.I.S.S. principle. Use what you have. It's not like you're going to need a bunch of torque to move a...
Some is good, more is better, too much is just about enough.
Not wanting to be a smart arse, but you'd better drill that new hole 1/2" forward of the existing one if you want to move the axle back:).
I was going to hire out the body and paint but a group of friends sort of egged me on, over a beer one night at the watering hole. They said put...
But in a common transverse setup the ends of the spring are mounted to the axle, and the centre to the frame, so on a bump the spring is...
Unfortunately these days a "rebuilt" unit seems to mean it has had the bare minimum of parts replaced to make it function.
[ATTACH] Not a great pic I'm sorry, but this is one of the few that I've seen where they really got it right. '58 Ranchero roof I believe.
Is that an original Model A space saver spare on the roadster in pic #1?:)
Reading between the lines, I wonder if the treatment process they were using was hardening the material too much and making it somewhat brittle,...
Saw it in another post from Deuce Days. So happy you're out enjoying it. What a cool car!
Not sure if you saw this thread a while back? Also not sure if I've inserted the link correctly? Apologies in advance if I haven't. There may be...
Did you get any info on the racing history of the car?
Knocked it out of the park! Especially like the fact that you didn't put a '32 grille on it.
