I look back maybe 5years and remember items that I refused to pay the asking price but today would gladly pay that price. Aftermarket aluminum...
These are the only 0-10 PSI fuel pressure gauges I could find when I was looking. I wanted something better and bought the Edelbrock/Russell 0-15...
I agree with "make your strips". Stainless is a pleasure to work with. I spend more time polishing the finished product than the fabrication. I...
Missing something...can't quite put my finger on it.
I like it! Its got bigs & little wheels, looks to be channeled some and nobody can say "too bad its a four door.
Learned by doing and helping out with my Dad and Uncle at an early age. Learned to weld with a welder made from florescent light ballasts, painted...
Thanks for the great pics and for taking us for a part of the ride. Nice turnout, love your shoebox too. As a youngster I spent a lot of time in...
I have used single stage polyurethane that old many times. It could be a crapshoot (intentional pun) . New activator and reducer is a wise move. I...
Cool calendar! Hang that up in a place of prominence. Reminds me of simpler times but back then following the instructions of a cooking show on TV...
I also had a retirement list of things to do and places to go. Don't know whatever happened to it but we did cross a lot of things off of it. The...
Kudos to all those still living the dream in their golden years but this thread seems to present an over whelming if not unaminous consensis, as I...
We have all tackled a variety of broken bolts such as this. The one thing I've learned is, it is worth the time to perform the process in a manner...
I never had any problems doing cross country motorcycle trips but it was starting to get embarassing when my riding buddies started dumping their...
Congrats! Maybe not too late for you but one thing I found out is that I should have kept the news of my retirement on the down-low. Everyone...
It makes me wonder what the strength differential is between a drilled and non-drilled. Hope there were no injuries and not too much other damage.
Another cowl modification using an old rim to create an enlarged/moved rearward opening that gave needed clearance for the AV8 install and also...
I just test fit my fenders with the welting after banging everything back into shape. I find that the welting is very forgiving, taking up small...
Looking good! It's always nice to get them outside where you can stand back and admire the full view from every angle.
Good tip! I should make some bottoming taps as well. I was the recipient of about a thousand taps and dies when the family owned machine shop...
Cool ratchet, I seen then demonstrated on a YT video a while back but haven't noticed them in the stores. Another that comes to mind are "thread...
Thanks for the pics! Love that '55 Crown Vic among others. Looks to be a bit of a younger crowd this year too.
2 months??--how many girls were there? Ha! Wasn't like that, we only stayed at that camp a few days. We had the time of our lives that summer...
It was the summer of '67. A local museum was closing down, downsizing their inventory preparing for a move to a smaller venue. The cars on...
Powder coat is less forgiving especially when subjected to impacts from stones or metal stress and fatigue, thus a greater chance of moisture...
Get a high adhesion primer formulated for use on non porous surfaces. I find that when in doubt of what products to use, ask the pro behind the...
If it were me, I would have the parts sprayed with an epoxy primer instead. It would be easier to fill any heavily pitted pieces or other...
Just WOW!
I came across an old pic of a dual 94 carb set up that was installed in the late 50s and thought of this thread. I still have all the parts and am...
Reading this thread again is still a feast for the eyes! Ever since first seeing the Orange Crate featured in Hot Rod in the early '60s, it has...
I would like to see the "dude" that owns it. You couldn't drive that without dressing up.
