Not exactly a response to the original question, but here's a pretty cool carb CFM calculator you can use to see how much CFM you may need......
Yeah, I could see that...scratch what I was saying before, and I probably won't do it either. You just saved me a day's time from prepping them,...
I have a set of slots and was considering painting them black - more of a steel wheel look? I've never seen it done, but I'm sure its been done...
Almost any printers should have the option of clear aqueous/varnish...from matte to gloss and anything between. It's just the same as a clear coat...
You may also want to look at Saab 900 tilt hood hinges at a junkyard to see if they will work or adapt to your application - those cars have tilt...
I say just cut them...or grind them down and check fit a bunch until you get them perfect...you'll have to take more off one side than the other...
MSD makes a tool that you use for measuring the cut end and for crimping in a vice - really easy and works good - It takes the screw up factor out...
Yep, 70's dodge B series vans - 71-77 - Those are the low back version - a highback version with arm rests is also available in those years....
"It seems that I never realized my friends Wife's MAIDEN name was Scott, and that she is Steve's Scott's Sister !!! .. (and I've known them 50...
I would also look into pulling out your old tortion leaves to inspect them for cracks or damage - and posibly look into upgrading to heavy duty...
If you're dead set on using the VW front end, I would seam weld the shock towers (they are only pinch welded) and put a gusset from the upper...
Here's a long thread on the subject - some good info & techniques (non-Hamb vehicles though)...
Cool Imperial. I really like the mid 60's Imps - I bought some parts off a guy who had a 67 Imperial 2dr with the mobile executive option. The...
damn - 4 chops in 16 minutes. a new world record? I guess I got a spot on the podium for coming in third place though.
good deals can be had antiquing - another one of my many hobbies. You never know what you'll find. I've scored a pretty sweet snap-on pin-up girl...
good idea on the gojo - I'm going to try that one
cool tudor. Here you go...
Since you're in sweden, I would look out for any of the old british roadster/car seats - MG's, triumphs, etc. are all pretty cool looking,...
yep, it works great - I do prefer the purple stuff for degreasing though. Just don't use simple green on interiors or vinyl - it'll dry it out and...
This old pinball playfield is going to be made into a coffee table someday soon. I may have to move it up on the project list now. Evel...
Inspiration.... R.I.P. Evel
"He used to stare at the pitchers strangely and pshych them out. Other little leaguers said Bobby had an "evil eye." They began to call him Evil...
He was also a great artist. Here's some old prints of some of his work that I have (sorry - crappy pics). This is a sad day for me. I have a...
"People never saw anything like what I do," said Evel Knievel. "And they'll never see it again." A true hero of mine.
Depending on how it's mounted, I would epoxy it in place, use some pop rivets - for stability - and then shape it over with kitty-hair (a chopped...
that thing is bad ass - I really like the panel style. There's a truck version and a window van version in this thread.......
I just checked an extra set of rockers that I have in the basement (from a set of 906's from a RB440 though - my assumption is that they are the...
sounds like you should check the year of your motor & heads before you go and do what you wish - the hydraulic lifters lash is set by the torque...
Oh yeah, I also sneak up on the 30 ft lbs by tightening 10 ft lbs at a time in the correct sequence (10-20-30ft lbs). It takes a bit more time,...
I'm not sure if the later model truck 413's are different, but the 65 & under passenger 413RB motors have torque specs of 30ft lbs. I would double...
