By gosh and golly , I think you're right. The red plastic had me fixating on the rear of those cars. Thanks man!!!
Found this in a box in a barn on my buddy's farm. Looks like it would go on top of the quarter panel over the taillight. Looks vaguely familiar...
Thanks rustl !!!
Sorry ,just drop the .com and type in pinstripechris. Go Daddy is being clever and trying (and succeeding ) to be first on the page.
I'm a dummy Bandit, where would I find the Friday Art show? Also, if his artwork appeals to you, I'll happily put in a plug for him. His name...
Might be because he's in California now:) He used to work for me painting exotic cars and pinstriping hot rods here on the east coast. Was a...
I'm frustrated not having the time or space to work on my Model A so my young artist friend offered to make me a drawing. Instead of having him...
No problem, the more people in on it, the more good info we get!
Hot Rod, pics would help a lot. I'm gently looking for that screw but not seeing it yet.
Dino, I haven't done anything yet ,still trying to come up with the best way. Highlander, like you say, pretty much got to think it out. My wood...
What's the best way to remove and re-fit the wood pieces on a Model A when you chop the top. I'm not quite sure which pieces can be cut in place...
Yup, the Casny car is the one I wanted to see , thanks for the info and link guys!
Like this build, especially the front wishbone and dash treatment!! Love to see more of the actual frame build ,but I guess it's too covered up...
It's my understanding that the rear suspension was originally a Kurtis torsion bar setup, but it never handled well, the car was very erratic...
Got the sidecovers off ! Good news,it's not a FWD and the pinion bearing support isn't cracked like most are. Bad news,ring and pinion have rust...
Jason, your thread got me going on learning about my champ rears. Thanks! I'm by no means an instant expert but I believe the drilled holes in...
Aw man ! Marty ,why did you have to show me that wide five setup, that's awesome! Then again, I road raced for years with 8" and 9" non floating...
Thank's for the welcome Marty! I haven't figured how to get the sidecover off yet and I don't want to force anything. I hate the sound of aluminum...
Thank's Bob ,my first picture was kind of crappy, sorry about that! Yeah, Busby's car is awesome ! If I can even build close to that concept, I'll...
No, actually the "so" was me accidently hitting the "post reply" before I had a chance to write the reply, not an attempt at sarcasm. Site...
Just want to go through the champ rear for now and come up with a plan (trackwidth,spring location,brakes).I'm not ready for my own build yet, I'm...
Bob, don't A axles mount the radius rod (wishbone) and the leaf spring to the backing plate? Mine look like a spring behind setup,butI'd better...
Well, we don't want to break with tradition ,but I'll be keeping my parts no matter how worthless they are:) So just cut the old housing ends off...
So
My first post ! Been cleaning up ,getting ready for spring, and found I have 2 Champ diffs,1 aluminum and 1 mag. Also have 2 1940 axle tubes. I'd...
I always thought 28/29's looked good as roadsters and sedans and 30/31's looked good as coupes and pickups. Having said that ,it's tough to beat...
I find it ironic that with all the years gone by and all the technology that's been developed, current state of the art off road machines are...
Gene is the man, but I disagree with the stranded fillers usage,not flexible enough. A quality filler (rage gold) over properly prepped metal...
