I like the crest better (more elegant). If you must change it, paint the crest green. ~WX1
Cody, I have heard that those torpedo heaters that you have sitting on the floor in one of your pictures emits fumes that will screw up a paint...
Flip it. Match the points with the widest part of the mouth.
I'm not familiar with an Olds 260, but I did install an Olds 455 in my '61. I used headers for a cutlass and had to do some pie cuts around the...
Love the 292". I run one in my '39. I won't win many races, but it's a torque monster and fun to drive. With a 2.90 rear, I'm getting 21-22 mpg...
Love the 292" in the Lark. That's a "hot rod". But a Lark with the unimproved original engine is fine in it's own right, it's not a "hot rod",...
There's a fine line between one man's classic and another man's "hot rod". Aren't "hot rods" a vehicle which has been modified to improve...
If you think clearance will be an issue, weld on a light piece of diamond plate before you fill it with gas.
No concerns here. I just sympathize with the pressure put on you to get the build done on someone else's schedule. I know family comes first with...
If you're not having a good time on the build, what's the point? You tend to get sloppy when you are fatigued. Working all day on somebody else's...
More parts than a Swiss watch!
Carb linkage, I assume?[IMG]
Rap, where did you get those skirts?
Will the inside width of the 27/32" fit the thickness of the chrome window trim? If so, I think that the wiskers should have enough give to allow...
I like it! Beauty in simplicity.
How difficult is it going to be to fit the piece above the grille back up there? I am anxious to see it with the hood back on for the full effect.
I don't want to down play the amount of money that you have spent on that thing, but the thing I like most about it is your attention to detail on...
Too clean to drive.
Clearly, upon examination of the picture of the exposed battery, the terminals (+&-)are pointed toward the sky.
Clean! Any more pics?
Thanks! I'm on it. ~WX1
I am not the type of person to just throw money at a problem. The wiring for all the lights is new, and I have the skills, but a schematic of the...
Sure, but this thing has been rewired from one end to the other, by someone else , with no record of what they did. The system in the truck seems...
Thanks! Is this generic, or is this specifically for the Arrow 286? I see the '56 at the bottom of the schematic. ~WX1
I am helping a friend get a '53 Ford PU back on the road after 14 years of garage life. I have encountered a problem, in that the front turn...
What did you decide on the plumbing on the master cylinder? Both barrels to the brakes or one to the clutch. Looks like while one runs back into...
Sounds like the front end, but you could put the back end up on jack stands and run her up to 45 mph with the wheels off of the ground, and see if...
Was the front end shaking, or the whole truck? Are the rear axle pads still sitting on factory trailing arms? If so, did you put a wedge between...
'39 Chev or C1 Corvette?
Separate names with a comma.
