For the first eight years, I had the stock radiator in it. I didn't recore it or anything, just cleaned it up and my dad painted it. It worked...
The Head Skratcher Model A on ‘32 rails with a ‘34 roof built by Skratch [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe vacuum attachments would have the desired shape outlet and a slip-fit connector to a hose? Just thinking out loud. Whatever you decide, be...
Just seeing the finished car. Wow!! That car is bad ass! I’m not sure what else to say, except enjoy it!
Great to meet you as well, Snowman! :cool: Thanks for introducing yourself.
Thank you for the pictures! We had a great time at the Roc. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My dad jumped at the chance to drive this...
The block is actually an Industrial, 1957 I think. It does not have the extended bellhousing.
I bought a short bellhousing 331 that has a very similar adapter to that. It has the starter on the passenger side. It also came with an aluminum...
I have always "heard" that .020" is about the most you want to go over with a 392 before the cylinder walls get too thin and the engine runs hot...
Trim back on, waxed up, and it’s back in action. I’ll see some of you at the Roc. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I was hoping to get a professional to sand and polish a bunch of deep scratches in this window before installing it, but that just didn't happen....
It's a little high, but the days of $50 to chrome a set of valve covers are long gone :D

A rear window is crated up and allegedly on its way to Texas. Yes they are apparently that hard to get. :eek: [ATTACH]
Probably one of the simplest builds in the thread, but it is so perfect. [IMG]
Jim Miles' blown fuel coupe was a big inspiration. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Later versions show the car with 12-spokes and without the Potvin. [ATTACH]
I could, but that would undo all the work it took to put the axle there. :D I like the early, rowdy days of drag racing when guys were moving...
I hear ya. Nice thing is, early Ford spindles have good interchangeability and dry break fittings are NHRA legal. ;) I’ll be running a front brake...
I keep piddling with this old thing. I hacked up some really crusty old fenders to get a look at how the wheels are going to look under them. The...
Or the Matranga Mercury. :) I figured someone would have added it by now! Guess I get to. [ATTACH] Buster Litton’s Ford is just as iconic and...
X-Sonic I wouldn’t even call it the “best” or “most stylish” custom, but it is a favorite and it is historic for a few reasons (one of the...
Looks like that was a great score! ;) You’ve got a great hot rod there, totally bitchin
More mock up. It’s mostly little stuff to make the fuel, cooling, and charging systems come together. Still chugging along and having fun....
I prefer driving a car with a stick. No real reason for it. When I daydream about driving, I’m subconsciously rowing gears! It’s fun chirping the...
That cracked me up. :D I've never been to Minnesota, might be time for a trip!
I love the chopped '60-62 roof on that car. It's a significant change that fits it so well, you have to really "know" these cars to recognize the...
"External dimensions of a 700R4 are the same as that of a THM350 with a 9-inch tail housing as found in the GMC long wheelbase truck/vans." If...
Gutted the old gas tank tonight. Those baffles put up a hell of a fight. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Found an old Army Man inside there, too....
