Thanks. Because I would have to build a firewall back there anyway, I think I will remove or modify them, and add bracing to the new firewall to...
Are the braces that go from the fenderwell to the top of the quarters up by the rear window really necessary? I'd like some more spate for a fuel...
Scrounging in my junk pile I found some 2-wire shielded cable. I will use that for ground and speedo trigger, and run a separate power wire. I'm...
A magnet on the headstock to hold the key is safer than any cord or chain. And you need one of those 90 degree magnets nearby anyway.
I currently use a Garmin GPS as my speedo/odo but DMV wants a nonresettable odo. I already have the speedo and sender, now I just need wire. If...
I'm hunting a vendor that will sell me 10 feet of 18 gauge, 3 conductor, shielded cable to match what comes out of the sender. I hope to find it...
I know there are some stray electrical pulses. The speedo is not hooked up, and I have gone several miles according to the odometer. I'm not too...
Guys I'm getting supplies to finally wire a Classic Instruments electronic speedometer. To wire from the sender to the speedo, should I use a...
Wow! What skills. I think I will make a tray that mounts to the sills. I have been looking for a tank that will let me mount both the tank and...
Thanks. I see you built a platform and replaced the stock fenderwell to quarterpanel braces with a custom brace.
Is there a place near you that will rent out a professional paint booth for a day or night? If you are only going to paint one car, this may be...
I'm considering the Tanks brand U2 or U3 steel tank to be installed in the rumble/trunk of 30/31 coupe. Photos of installation and any pointers...
When selecting a trans, consider where the shift mechanism will end up relative to your seating plan. Extending the frame up front will make this...
Do you want this measured with the wheels on the ground?
RCI also makes a similar tank, and a few other shapes and sizes I think might work. http://www.rciracing.com/
It would be nice if the filler was on one side or the other so you don't have to reach over everything else in the trunk, or drip fuel over...
I need to do this check myself to get rid of a death wobble. How do you measure the toe? I can't use a tape measure on the front end at spindle...
Have you tried Vintiques for a purchase? They do custom backspace and reversing for a fee. It's worth a phone call. They are in California, so...
I just found a nice, long thread on car stands. I had previously been using different keywords. As expected, HAMB to the rescue!
I like those stands the truck is sitting on. Who makes them and would you work under the car?
You have one fine machine sir! I'm looking to seeing the interior. What did you use for the license plate light?
Just from a looks standpoint, a centered housing looks better, especially if exhaust runs out the back next to the centered license plate. Mine...
Been thinking on this subject for a while. While more backspace would solve the problem for this wheel, if you ever wanted to do a different...
I'm having trouble finding a 15x7 with that much backspace too. Let me know if you find a vendor. A 15x6 usually has less frontspace if that is...
I am looking at the Summit catalog and they list two opel water pumps. Which one does the Snow White riser use?
With a BBC and a stick, would a driveshaft loop be a good idea?
I have learned more from watching this thread than watching all those TV build shows. Keep up the inspiration!
