Is there anyone out there who still believe in the "It's best if you get thrown out in an accident" theory?
The problem is, that with the advent of the fat fendered era, the engine and cab got moved forward and the proportions don't work out like they...
Keep the fenders on.
How about not changing the column but remounting the whole works at a slightly steeper angle to get the belly clearance you need?
Got mine from Speedway.
If removing the tank is nonnegotiable, send us a picture of the sending unit. Actually, pictures of the whole setup. Maybe more eyes on the...
It all depends on what you want to do. A good example is the 1/8 scale model T (model car) that was sold by Lindberg Line. The basic kit came in...
You worry too much. I poked a new filler neck onto my fuel tank. Drained the tank - the electric fuel pump worked great for this. Took the tank...
My period correct seat idea is just find ones that you can afford and fit. Found bucket seats in a Princess Auto flyer. Made in Taiwan, black...
Do you have twin filament bulbs in those lights?
Not really fussy about what brand of anti-seize. My tip is on using it. That little brush on the lid just doesn't reach the bottom of the...
Only thing I remember built with an A cowl was an air compressor. It ran off two of the A engines cylinders and the other two were used as the...
Some clear plastic sheet isn't UV resistant and will turn yellow left out in the sun.
Great photo. Always wondered how well my Austin Ruby would fit in the back of an 8 ft. box. It isn't a Bantam, just its cousin.
How big are they?
I'm stuffing an electric motor into my Austin but that doesn't count here.
Find some other body style to chop. The glass will probably doom the project.
If I went to all this trouble, I would center the housing. Why not make it look good?
Anything by Pete Aardema or Alan Millyard or did I understand the question?
My love of whitewall drag slicks came from seeing them on the Monogram 1/8scale models and Roth's Mysterion. When I could finally afford to buy...
The problem with the slicks is that you mounted them wrong. Put the whitewall out.
After watching the video, I realized that the Mopar LA engine is way underutilized in our cars. It really looks good in there while it seems that...
On second thought, if you are after that "period correct vibe" get an old Mopar alternator. Valiants used them in 1960.
Mount it further down.
Thank you Moriarty. Unfortunately, that is exactly what I did and it don't work. Probably inferior replacement parts.
I remember an article on a survivor car that was unearthed by Cam Grant that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine. It was '34 roadster. Good...
Thank you alanp561 for the picture. That is the parts I'm dealing with. Everything was working until I "fixed" it. Took off the steering wheel...
Well George, I pretty well agree with those sentiments. When some idiot cuts out in front of me I can't think fast enough to use the horn anyhow...
With either engine being this old, I'm glad you have both your dad and grandad helping you along.
I have a 1958 -1960 Impala steering wheel on my car. Some time ago, I removed the wheel but when I put it back on, I managed to break the plastic...
