My brother races cars and is a card-carrying member of the Upside Down Club and he won't get into a car without them. It's not the car guys like...
Would never actually put a name or a signature on a car unless a famous person had raced it once or built it or something like that. But me and...
So glad you stuck with the skinny whitewalls. It just screams "period build" with the whole overall look. Great job. And love Snoopy's stance!
I questioned that too. What if the pivot point closest to the bar was locked solid? That would make it function, yes?
I was going to chop mine too but all my friends said no. They were right. I love it now as an uncut survivor. Think it over good first.
Now that you've said this, we expect a video posted soon with Snoopy barking and snarling with her new Smithys freshly installed.
Putting on those headers really cleaned up Snoopy's side profile. Good move. It looks like those pictures could have been taken in 1968....
Our spring Cornfield Swamp Meet may actually be dry this year! Looks like it's gonna be a big meet too this time. Seems the spring event is...
Lacquer thinner X2
Just a thought. If--and that's a big if--you paint her down the road, I think bringing her back to the form she was in back in the day as those...
Nice! I'm diggin' the fenders and skinnier whites. And that grill! Usually like to see a 32 up there, but those pictures could change my mind....
Can you deal directly with the bank branch? Trust no one. Personally, I'd wait for someone with cash. ;)
Stranger Danger!
I liked your first instinct, vinyl insert. It's an understated and classic look.
Couldn't help but laugh along with you while watching that video. Minus the wood panels, I'm copying Snoopy's dash style for Weezy. Snoopy's...
Yes, that's a really good idea. Weeze has a million different donors too, so I too am making a list as I go of all the part numbers for my future...
Was just comparing your first pictures at the beginning of this thread with your current pictures, and the green engine is right. It is...
Jer, Does Snoopy have vintage seat belts? My 1964 Buick Special didn't have anything when I got it but we put some in. I plan on putting...
It's a reversible change. It's just paint. Don't sweat it.
It's like we all share in your triumph when you post stuff like this. Thanks for all the videos. I love them!
Perfect. Just what a car like Snoopy deserves. You are a great caretaker. It was -14F here on Sunday. Jealous? Roasty-toasty.:p
Good to know! They looked like a real nice shock. I like the ones with the dust cover. They have both chrome and painted available.
You would think so. But I see lots of stuff that's incompatible with other stuff. The So-Cal shock top bushing is 7/16" but most folks run an F1...
The Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks look real nice because they're 5/8" ID at all ends and about the right ride height too. My F1 brackets are not yet...
Found it. Non-gas. Here is the info for anyone who's interested: Monroe Sensa-Trac - Shock Part # 5752 Front Extended Length (In): 12-3/4 Inch...
You are right in that the VW shock mount hole is listed at 12mm in diameter all around, while my current mounts are 5/8" all around. I think I...
They are still out there but they are also more than $20 each.;) I think most of us are on a budget, or at least like to save a buck or two when...
So-cal Tex: I found a non-gas VW set on Ebay that look like they'd fit the bill very well. Are the VW shock mounts 5/8" in diameter all around?...
I knew MG's were old school tech-wise and actually have a 1979 MGB and will crawl underneath it tonight to investigate your suggestion a bit...
I'm betting the concern for gas may be that stiffness. I know some guys get "wheel hop" in the front end and can't figure out why. Would a stiff...
