Bobby Gerhart at the Reading Fairgrounds, chances are high I was in the grandstand.
Wouldn't want to be seen in those!! I'd probably forget and do a burnout!!
Will do, thanks. Did some checking last evening, American Racing makes an 7" wheel like mine that would look great.
I never plan to be finished until I am finished! Interior, paint, multiple carbs, who knows, maybe Hilborns or a blower. The sky and my bank...
Thanks, sounds like wet is bad. I grew up in Reading, Pa. My 57 Chevy with a SBC was also fun in the rain, and even more fun on snow! I kinda...
I was looking at the 10.00 x 15 Diamond back tires with the same design as my front tires. They are radials, put them on some 7" Vintage torque...
Question, how are the towel city cheaters on the street? Regular driving require different tires or what?
Working on the door sill plates. They weren't bent properly or my glass coupe is off. Either way I modified them to fit and dolled them up a...
Boy you can say that again. That would be a tough trim. Probably leak too!!
My apologies, had my head up my butt , they were .015 installed. 004 would be a bitch. That's equivalent to toilet paper!! I believe I got them...
I back bled and down bled mine. Make sure you have a good pump can that won't add air. I also used silicone based fluid, won't eat the paint,...
Locktite 242 is recommended
There's a warning on the stainless bolt pack, they recommended locktite on all bolts. I will try that!! Plus I will check the torque every time I...
. Thanks. Been there, done that a few times. I even punched a hole in the filter and let it drain overnight. I also have a big stash of...
The new thick oil pan gasket arrived, that should do the trick. Also bought longer stainless bolts, and a new drain plug. Now to make a mess....
Yep, I agree. But what can we do, make the best of every day and roll with the punches!! Old saying, time waits for no man? Truer than ever!!
Thanks!
I have a Hurst front mount that I modified for clearance. My wife bought me a 350 sbc from Jegs along time ago. Found out the other day it's a...
Took a pic.[ATTACH]
Good thinking, I was looking at a complete second set of wheels and tires. However prices are nuts!!
Well found a screw up. Engine always dripped a little oil after a run. Yep I put the thin 4 piece set of gaskets in. Back then I never heard of...
The last one!![ATTACH]
My coupe has some rare SBC valve covers! I was told they were only made one year, 62. No triangle on the logo pad, front or back! [ATTACH]
Driver's door hung and rough body work complete. Time to change oil, 20 miles in one year. I will be able to increase the mileage next year. Got...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Had slicks on for the build. Got smart and put on new Towel City Cheaters.
Mocking up the door windows using stock 32 Ford pieces, I realized I was missing a flange on the front part of the window opening. I think Ford...
Got one for Christmas. Loved it. Kinda got me started
I had a 17" line from the fill port up to the body connected to a breather mounted above and aft of the rear. First time out it filled the...
Sure could, but this way it's main objective is not to blow the seals out of the rear. Just happens to make the servicing a tad easier. It's a...
