Good that your problem is resolved. Oddly, I had the same problem with their backing plates and their drums. The spring retainers stuck out past...
Nice coverage Jalopy Joker. The event has changed a lot over the last 30+ years but we had a great weekend. Thanks for your efforts in taking and...
Agreed! Definitely always something for everyone who even thinks they are a "real" hotrodder. The LA Roadsters work their butts off to put this...
Very Nice! If the window moldings were original to the car before going to the chrome shop, the car was built as a Master Deluxe. In that case, it...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Great weekend! Our thanks to Sherm, Mel, Denny and the rest of the San Luis Roadsters for keeping us well fed and...
May be a case of improper loading of parts in the weld fixture or "operator error". I have a SoCal bar and found fit and finish to be just...
Agreed 1971BB427, and my revised design incorporates just that support from the bottom. Never too old to learn.
Nice start on a great project. '37 - '38 Chevrolet coupes make great hot rods. I've had my '38 for fifty years. Recently I learned something new...

Hey Bill. It took a lot of courage for you to share this very personal post at a time when your loss is so fresh. Thank you. I can tell you as the...
Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers to Bill and his family.
Great photos @AldridgeDW. It took some effort to get clear shots given the number of people there. My first time for the event and we had a great...

Big fan of "Keep it simple"[ATTACH]
I happened to be heading north on I-5 Saturday morning and saw Guasco's roadster going southbound and wondered if he might be headed to Eagle...
I'll check in to represent the 1% not running 16". The 8.20-15 still does it for me. Fits the natural body line of the '32 rear wheel well radius...
Sad to see the damage. Good to have friends in time of need. Moral of the story: Don't save ugly wheels.
Coming up on fifty years with this one[ATTACH]
Very fortunate to have known Chris. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer guy and he helped me more than once. Thoughts and prayers to family.
[ATTACH] Why would anyone want a green hot rod? My British racing green answer.
A/C in a Model A is a challenge due to limited space but really worth it on a July afternoon in Central CA. Tried to keep everything as much...
Done.
I'm using the Speedhut Calibrator sold by Redline Gauge works, Santa Clarita CA to convert electronic signal from my T5 to 34 Dodge mechanical...
I have 1/8" to 3/16" gap at top and sides of lid on my Brookville. Top gap is set by their placement of the hinge pins and I adjusted left/right...
