Doh! L- 82 was what I meant, apologies. The heads are the pre 69 Camel Hump heads, there are no accessory bolt holes. Will be a week or so until...
As always the Hamb never fails to amaze me with the knowledge that the members have. Squirrel, was hoping you would see this and pipe in. So, for...
Wow, First time I have posted in a long time but, if you want the right information The HAMB is where you come. So with that said could do with a...
That has turned out very nice Joe. Boys look like they approve as well! P. :D
Rule of thumb. Radials to the rear. Not sure about cheaters but, here in the UK, you will fail your MOT (annual inspection)if you do not follow...
Been watching this since you first purchased the 55 and have to say that it is looking exceptional. Love the engine, what throttle response!. Just...
That is a really good idea and one that I am shamelessly going to 'borrow' for my future build. Nice work Sir! P.
Not sure if this will be viewed as traditional but I used qa1 coilovers on my 56. You then have infinate adjustability and ride really really...
Nice work. Subscribed P.
Adding to the 'What rear axle fits' I used a Camaro rear end on mine, came with a Posi and 'Starship' gears (2.73) but with your granny 4 speed...
I used this set up, works well. Only comment I would make is ensure you have your pedal ratio correct, learnt that one from bitter experience......
12.4 @110 leaving the lights at idle. http://youtu.be/_cLkzIyKoro I was quite pleased for a 454 with a 280 cam 830dp, a dne 5 speed and full...
Why did I ever sell my car.... Anyway, 2" dropped spindles with QA1 coil overs 205/65 15 tyres Rears, AVO Coil overs with 4 bar and watts...
Robert, Sure has come a long way from the wheel adapter saga. Looks fantastic, really like the treatment of the rear seat area. Next...
Dave, It is a good job you are 'vertically challenged' looking at this on the floor. I love your builds, keep at it and keep posting. Awesome,...
This is very similar, if not the same, set up as on the Tri 5. Great tech saved for when I get back in the saddle. P.
If that was mine I would drive it 24 hours a day, every day. Nice. P.:D
Steve, I am really impressed, looks awesome. Cant wait to see it in the flesh as it were... P.
Well...when I win I will be looking for a traveling buddy! P.
Didnt Jim Jacobson build a sub 1500lb roadster for his Dad back in the late 80's? Or maybe it was Pete, can't remember... Think it was...
I am REALLY looking forward to seeing the finished article. Looks absolutely fantastic, can't wait until I am in a position to own a 55. Keep...
I am about the same height but a few pounds lighter than you and was really uncomfortable in my 56 until I chopped 2" out of the seat risers and...
You can take the engine out with the radiator support in place but it is much easier to unbolt it along with the rad and means that you do not...
I really like it. I suppose the good thing about it being 'unpainted' is that you would not have to worry about stone chips, parking ding etc...
Had to look at the pictures twice before I realise it was CJ!! Happy Halloween Clive. P.
Mr Seghi, It was my lame excuse of a joke at 5.34am, I have been following your story from the start. Just goes to show that something good can...
