Dean, I don't have any pictures of his car but have some of other cars in the Radical Valve Timers (thanks to my brother Ken). Also of an early...
Bob Bishel lived one street from us in Middletown and was a good friend of my older brother Ken (aka: Art) Ford. I remember seeing the car in his...
Just don't run "raised white letters" God how I hate those.
I had one in a 1966 Pickup, low compression 327 with small heads, torker intake, 600 Holley, duals, built Turbo 350, 4:11 posi. I put 90,000...
Articles like this bring a tear to my eye. Looking down those Strombergs made me say: "Holy shit". Beautiful job to all envolved. Thank you for...
I don't know if this qualifies as "tech" but what the hell... Have you ever wanted to drill a hole through a shaft but don't have access to a...
Fantastic work each and every one of you!! You guys put on "paper" what the rest of us imagine. Thank you.
That's me looking my best. Table is my mock up wheel and tire and templete is for my frame notch.
My dad was a gear head way back when. He had a Model T street racer (for lack of a better discription) that he put new rear tires on because the...
Better picture.
I almost went blind doing one let alone a whole set.
I agree with Unkl Ian but you have probably work hardened the area. Start from the other side or use a die grinder with a carbide bit to rough it...
I got a 90 and my boss a 94 so now I know why he's the boss!
Ride height will be 2" to 3" higher. Bottom of fenders are the most vulnerable point. Do NOT want to smash them.
Here's mine for putting a big block in a 57 Chev truck.
I love it! Love the color, stance, engine, tires, wheels. That thing must fly with a Poncho mill. What brand and size wheels are you running?...
Thank you so much for all the great pictures and descriptions. This is how we all learn. The part I love the most is that if you don't like...
2" Would be quieter, other than that you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. That sounds like a heavy car but I'd still go with the 2 1/2".
Hydraulic press should do it. Oil it up first.
Here's my Honest Charley decal.
A friend of mine at work is related to the late "Honest Charley" and he gave me one of the last decals. I'll post a pic when I get a chance....
Way back when I was an apprentice we had to remove broken 3/8-16 taps from $100,000 jet engine parts by grinding a hole through the center with a...
My wife has never even washed her own car or mowed the lawn. You are truly a lucky man. She's a keeper.
My dad had a 1960 Ranchero that I wanted to do the same thing to. My day dream had a 427 high riser and a 4 speed. Have fun!
I have to say, you left coast guys sure know how to build cool rods. Great sense of style. Thanks for the very cool pics.:cool:
Terrific project and what really amazes me is that it's happening across the pond. How do people in Norway become die hard hot rodders? I guess...
Having the subject in focus and the back ground out of focus is called "Depth of Field" or more accurately, a shallow depth of field. On old...
Thanks guys, I feel better now.:D
This was mine the day I brought home my 57 pick up. Normally it's neat to keep Momma happy. Or at least try.
I'm running a Fat Man front end which uses a late model Ford rack and a Ididit column in my 57 Chev pick up. The u-joints I got for the column...
