Made to Order is not in a social security budget....
I guess it just never came up.....
I guess I have to apologize for causing so much hand wringing by bringing up subjects that are deemed "off topic". Somewhere along the line, I...
Yes, with the 4 piston calipers. That's really my only other concern: if they clear the calipers.
WTF? What's with the negative comments on the looks? Did anyone LOOK at what I posted? To me, they're kinda like Centerlines without the...
The rim only, and I'll mount my existing automotive tire on it. No "trailer tires" involved.
2200 lbs each.
This is the rim. I can get two for $150 w/ free shipping from Amazon.
What's the difference though? They're both round, have 5 bolt holes, and hold air. I can see the difference with tires.
It has '67 T-bird disc brakes on the front.
I have steel wheels now. I'm looking for aluminum to match the rears.
They're 6" wide, same as I have on the car now.
So I've had chrome smoothies on my Model A for a few decades, but I've never been happy with the way the rims stuck out from the fenders, due to...
Mission Accomplished ! After drilling an 1/8" pilot hole, I started with a one inch hole saw, knowing I needed it that big. Almost immediately...
The biggest twist drill I have is 5/8, which is plenty big enough for the cable; but getting the head thru will require at least a full inch. I'm...
When you're living on a fixed income, everything is pricey ! That's more than I have in the bank right now.
So, after spending much time and effort building a new dashboard out of wood, I was doing some fitting and suddenly realized that the back of the...
Remember this poster ? I had that vision one time in my mirror. Three of us were out with our hot rods. I had just made a left turn in my...
This might be of interest:...
I bought this Model 44 around 1978 for $75 from a friend that was moving. It still runs and cools, but the motor started making a noise last...
April 63 Popular Hot Rodding. Probably about the time I got my first car (a 58 Edsel). I still have the 500 that I bought since that time. I'm...
I started my life in Terre Haute, In also. And coincidentally, I owned a green 52 Buick Riviera while I lived there. But back to the history of...
Sure, but the kicker is: it all worked before ! The only thing that has changed was the new fuel tank, and I know that is a mismatch. Nothing...
The setup is this: 31 Model A with 351C. The gauges have been in the car 40 years. They are from a 60's Studebaker, about a 4" speedo, and a...
Yea ! the other side came off with no problems. On to the next "challenge" ! Anyone have a 67 Ford turn signal switch ?? (Well, first have...
Got the first one off last night by using a half inch chisel tapping against the outer lip about every 90*. The mating surfaces did not show...
I had given that some thought, but just not that confident in my "control" with the die grinder. If I hit the adapter part, then I'd have to go...
Does anyone have experience with these from years ago ? So about 30 yrs ago, I put the adapters on my Model A street rod. Uses 65-67 T-Bird or...
After browsing thru various models on the RockAuto site, there seems to be a bit of variation on wheel cylinder diameters, too. So it seems the...
