Selling excellent/mint condition parts from an all original, low mileage, '53 Mercury flathead. Sold the block and crank to a big name builder,...
I doubt it will stay R-1. Pretty much everything around it is commercial. ITW (Fortune 100 company) has its corporate headquarters right across...
Got my Miller eNews today and they have an article on John Marcella with a bunch of short videos. Lots of hype on the equipment but there are...
To measure the pinion torque I took a six spline coupler and found a deep socket that fit snug inside then pinned it in place. I use that with a...
Looks nice. How about a photo of the finished car?
The local community college here starts off with gas welding and it's good for teaching fundamentals. Plus, learning how to control the torch is...
Someone did a pretty good tech article on rebuilding these a while back. Should be in the archive. It's not that difficult.
Check the project section on Miller welding website.
I always tell people to get the most welder you think you're ever going to need. If you don't, you end up wishing you did. I went with a...
So it's a hot rod lifestyle magazine with an article on the History of the Rat Rod in the first issue and an ad featuring Kim Kardashian on the...
Most of the Fords went for reasonable prices. Pretty much everything else was way over market. And those prices don't reflect the 15% seller fee...
Sorry, guess I misunderstood. Did you try adjusting the balance? More time in electrode negative (higher number on the dial) will give greater...
Are you trying to use a green tungsten with balled end? That doesn't work very well on an inverter. Try red tungsten with a point.
Certification is not a general title, but for a test for a specific process, application, position, etc. Some certs will cover a variety of...
Not sure about '41 Merc but the '40 Ford Deluxe convertible went for $25k.
The other Deuce tudor with lots of rust sold for $8k.
Car prices are actually pretty reasonable considering what the other stuff sold for. $6k or so for A coupes. Nicer Deuce tudor just sold for $16k.
Edelbrock heads they listed incorrectly as 21 stud went for $400. Probably would have gone for a lot more if anyone bothered to count the holes....
Go to auctions america. Once you register you can see it live.
'32 grille shell just went for $1500.
Fair enough. But I'm pretty sure you said the "`32 sedans . . . were actually pretty solid" and I said you must not have looked very close...
I believe you have to register to see it online. Cost is $100. If you want to bid, the buyer's premium is 15%, plus an additional 9.25% sales...
Not sure how close you looked but the rockers on one of the deuces were almost competely gone. Most of the cars, or at least the Fords, had body...
Made it there today too. Most of the cars and older bikes are in pretty rough shape. Complete and original, but pretty rough. Some of the parts...
Nice going. Hope you find some interesting work. It's a tough market out there. As for use of Esq., there's nothing wrong with using it in...
Zman, I know you can make ethanol from lots of stuff, but here it's primarily corn. That's what I don't agree with and we seem to be on the same...
The point I was trying to make is you can use the resources to grown corn (or whatever) for food, or corn for ethanol, and the latter doesn't make...
Haven't seen that happen on any scale that's cost effective. But even if that's possible at some point, the issue right now is using food for...
That's some pretty dumb ass reasoning. Ethanol cost more to produce than fossil fuels, that's why manufacturing capacity was way underutilized...
Auto manufacturers resisted the move to 15% because of impact on fuel systems and other issues, and didn't want to be on the hook for warranty...
