Yeah, starting fresh wouldn't be a bad idea. As you can see on those pedals, that vertical brake lever is pretty long. I used an extra...
Heck ya! It's such a great show, if you like old Fords! The last time I was there was 2022 and it was A LOT like it was in 2025... I'm hoping to...
I like this idea. I've recently been using stainless steel scrubbers/SOS pads stripped down and chucked in a drill to clean inside smaller stuff...
Are you going to the Showdown again in 2026? I'll be there, unless something major happens... registration is paid and a room reserved! 3blap.
Amish Mike... you win bro! You know the best set up all around and have all of us beat with our underpowered incapable engines! :rolleyes:...
AmishMike... carbs don't just fall out of tune, and even if they did, there's plenty of leeway. The biggest culprit with carb performance is...
John get out of here with your OHV BS... ;) 3blap.
Sdsurfer Doooood... yeah, it's running out of travel too quickly pointing straight down. Cut it 90-95% through at the base from behind, bend it...
Are you sure there's an actual ridge in the cylinder wall? It looks like a carbon built ridge from here... From the pics I'm seeing... I think I...
I think they're a little harder to find, and if you're wanting "go fast" parts, also a little harder to find. I think H&H has heads & Intake, but...
Ooops... you're right. I clearly buzzed right past that... Doh! Skip the 4" & go with the Scat 4.250" crank. :p 3blap.
I wonder if I have it, but you're welcome to scan it and send it to me! I have an old copy of someone presenting the process that I found on the...
He did! The 258" doesn't sound like a bad plan, if you're building one and don't have the Merc crank. Bandit Billy... nice sales pitch! :p I...
I love this build and your intended purpose! I think you already have a great plan ahead of you. I also would be concerned with the automatic...
I think your analysis is spot on regarding the removing and rewelding the arm! It does look solid and the only concern I have is the angle of...
Well, they're OG Ford pedals, which is good! They look like they're stock '32s, except that brake pedal has a zig & a zag added to it, which is...
You definitely need to know this... You need to be able to get 100% of the piston travel in the MC or there's always going to be a chance of...
One of the things that has not been mentioned but is integral to getting a solid pedal is bleeding the brakes. AND, not just that, but making...
F1, F100 or even early Ford cross steer all work fine. Mustang box will ugly up the car. That's no bueno. If you're gonna do a Vega, may as...
Just flip the stock one and be done. If yours is garbage, find one that isn't. There are plenty of them out there. Bitchin firewalls look dumb....
Good! I hope that works out for you and Scat pulls through!!! I love and hate Speedway... love them because they have stuff in stock and it...
I'm glad you're confident with that repair... because I wouldn't be. o_O 3blap.
I think this is the best possible solution if you're insistent on using that axle! Crank that nut on, say a prayer, get out the heavy sparkler and...
Here's mine. I was told it was 5" F&R with a split when I got it, but I cannot stand split roof chops... Leaned the A pillars, removed the split &...
Auliz... I preach Chinese garbage all the time... I think my close friends and colleagues are probably tired of hearing it! I'm sick and tired of...
Cool... After talking with that guy about louvers, I'm just weary. And, now I notice all the bad louver jobs out there...:eek: 3blap.
There's a guy on here that goes by "gotlouvers" that is based out of Phoenix. He is an EXTREMELY Passionate man about louvers and will not lead...
BTT. $450 Shipped in the US.
Box is in great shape, bottom could use some help. Pics tell the story! Fenders and trailer parts don't go for the asking price. I will trade for...
No one has any insight? 3blap.
