I built a water bong for mine. Exit the compressor, then 20' of 1/2" copper coiled into a 10-gal ex-oil-bucket full of water. Then the...
Thanks for the info gentlemen.
Butt, Love the mini rings. Looks killer (though the supremes did too). Question on them: What did the box say they fit (assuming they came in...
Store them upside down. If there is a pinhole leak, the paint will seep into it and dry, effectively plugging it. Or it will run out onto your...
Can't say for sure for your model, but for my 64 Riv I used a Fenco M1489. Another possibility is the M1328. Should be able to x-ref the numbers...
bttt Sorry Donnie, the caps I received aren't proper Star Wire ones - just generics. I'd be very interested in your old caps though - check you...
Damn, you type too fast :D
Out here there is a auto exporting crew on the US side. You need to give them the paperwork on the car 3 days before you bring it across, so they...
I've only ever seen Keystones on muscle cars. Screams 70s. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it will make the car look like it was built 20-30...
Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of buying the HOK book. I looked at the book at the paint store, and the ice pearls are shown over...
Go thru this thread. Lots of good troubleshooting suggestions. I like the ideas by Rocky and choprods near the end about pressurizing the...
Ha! Thanks but no thanks. Wouldn't want to hurt Canada-Australia relations - Whistler would never recover! Actually I am doing a white roof...
I know this is a traditional board, but it's kinda like crushed glass right? ;) I'm painting a car light green metallic. Like that minty green...
This is kind of a bad answer, but I'll know better in about a week whether I'll have some spare Star Wire spinners. Long story. Do you have any...
what are?
Generally speaking, sometimes the front and rear wheelwells have the same cross-section on the lip. You might be able to graft in some pieces...
Skylark wires eh? :D I bought some 1" thick adapters from one of the e-bay dealers, username 'wheeladapters'. Good service, no complaints,...
Cool. You should do it gasser style. That would rule. TR (photoshop god)
Perfect. To the parts store then. Thanks!
The driveshaft in my Riv is squeaking when in reverse. Probably a sign it's 'going' on me, but I want to put off the inevitable for a while if I...
Ha! That was gonna be my secret cheap spider cap solution! That was until Speedway started selling them for $140.
They were made for these wheels I believe: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52065 Motor Wheel Spyders. Think they were a...
That was the 'Sunday Morning Watson Style' post. Stuck in my mind because that car rules. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58814
For a 1/4" spacer??? Should be able to just leave the studs, especially if those wheels use shank-style lugnuts.
A buddy just bought a pair of the new TTO Americans with a 5on5.5 for his 65 F100. Look kinda funny with the bolt reliefs out at the edge of the...
Here's a capitalist idea: Somebody film the buildup, testing, and the escape. Put it on Discovery Channel and sell a million t-shirts. Then they...
Suffering for your art = good sign.
Gotcha. That's ridiculous. Fuck 'em.
Hahaha wish it was that easy. Sucks too cause I just bought a new board (!). BTW the islandinvasion.com link isn't working for me. In case...
I'm looking at it from the other side - I just paid a friend to do the bondo/primer on a car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it can be a good way...
