I have done several Granada disc brake swaps. There is no need to ream anything, simply use the correct tie rod end. I have 68 LTD spindles on my...
I have used the stuff that is for sealing roof ridges. I put two layers down in my truck. It does work good. The backing is some sticky shit. I...
What is the overall length on a stock Externally sprung Triumph frontend? I've got a '68 Bonny project but I only have a set of 6" or 8" over...
Those are two totally different cabs. The late model trucks got quite a bit wider. Why not run the stock front end. If he really wants a 40...
Sure looks cool, but I'm scared to ask the real question... how much???????????
Man, I had a 64 that I rolled around in when I was about 19 (aprox. 15 yrs ago). Always had a blast in that thing. We could have 3 guys in front,...
OK, OK, I'm 32.
Another one that many may know, but am surprised at how many don't. For quick and easy masking, use aluminum foil. It works bitchin', just fold...
Great idea showing early works. I just bought my first OO Mack a few days ago. It helps to keep my hopes up seeing others work when they just...
There is also Long Beach spring & forge in Long Beach. It may be closer for you than Hollywood, but the last time I checked their prices were...
Sorry for your loss, have a safe journey.
9" rears can be a pain. You might try getting in touch with Currie. They actually have kits that include new everything, from backing plates to...
I'm working on a 39 cpe right now with a MII front end. It looks like a Chassis Engineering crossmember with all the factory pieces bolted to...
In the early days, if it wasn't a roadster it wasn't a hot rod. I don't think that Model A sedans were a real hot commodity way back in the day....
I remember being told to store in cool, dry place, as others mentioned, but also to lay them on the side with a piece of plywood between the...
Both cars are bitchin'. I think its just a matter of taste as to which car one likes best. It seems to me that some people don't like a car that...
Larry seemed to live his life on his own terms. The world could use more people like Indian Larry, and it is a poorer place due to his death. Go...
If they were 15x8, and 15x6, they might be worth more. I just don't see 14's pulling much money for any style of wheel, even 5 spokes. I'd say...
JB weld is glorified duct tape. For a temporary fix, just to get you out of a bind, I'm sure it'll work. I'd look for a more permanent repair or a...
Welcome, looks like you have some other potential projects behind the ford as well. Enjoy...
Not being smartassed, just trying to pass on some history. It's Bellflower, one word. Named after the city that hosted the scene that created...
[ QUOTE ] 12 [/ QUOTE ] Are those first gen Falcon quarters on the 34 pickup? Different for sure.
Granada stuff seems to be getting harder to find, at least in So. Cal. There are other options. I had a set of Granada spindles, but ended up...
Cool to see such great old pics. Looks like some of them were taken at Milliken high school. If I'm not mistaken, Milliken was built in '55, so...
Even if I don't know ya, I feel for ya. Sorry for your loss.
Try getting in touch with Specialty Cars in Artesia, Ca. I don't have their #, but they do a lot of gasser style stuff, and have done it for...
A story, huh? Let me think of one that doesn't involve nudity or intoxication. OK, got one about a road trip. So the old man and I are on our way...
Woodruff And Wardlow. near Marshall Jr. High.
Those who go to El Mirage and B'ville could tell you about Muffler Toms straight 8. That thing sounds way different than anything on the lake. I...
Do I know Jesse? Well not really, but it's a long story. I have two 57 Ford station wagons, one with two doors, the other one has a couple extra....
