I really don't think you could use that shaft without shortening it a lot then re-splining it (expensive in my neck of the woods). Could you not...
I live out in the middle of nowhere but there's a guy local to me who built a RPU in the 60's and he still drives it regularly. Pretty cool build....
When you said it broke I thought that it was just where the fitting screwed in for some reason. Wow, ya that's just a little bit worse. That...
Thanks! Ya it's been years since I had any of the Model A drive line stuff so I forgot they were mounted on the front of the axle. For years I've...
Ok that's great thanks! I'll have a spacer ready then. Cheers,
Ok thanks, I'm not using any of the stock A stuff. I wanted to be clear that you weren't using the later rods. That's not going to work for me so...
You were running a stock Model A Banjo with that trans then added the QC after and had to shorten the torque tube again then? Interesting to hear...
You build some really nice stuff Marty. Yes that's probably exactly what I'll have to do to match the torque tube angle. Thanks
Oh really, I've never heard that before. So you're mounting the radius rods on the opposite side so that means they're mounted on the top of the...
Like many others have said about the small grill opening and the timing are the first place to start. I have a couple of other things to add. 1....
I mentioned why the "bolt it in and see what happens" wasn't my first choice. I'm just trying to tap into the knowledge from guys here who've done...
Yes and you have to also take into account the angles of the torque tube in both cases. The quick change lower shaft is 3" below the original...
Oh wow ok, that's good to know. Thanks Marty! I think I could probably make up the 3/8" at the coupler when I drill the pin hole position in the...
I've searched for an answer to this and contacted everyone I can think of about this without any luck. I feel I must have just missed seeing it...
Awesome!
Nice going! I like it! You're making great progress too.
Nice work Matt!
Have you thought about welding a couple of little tabs to the master cylinder lid so you could lift it off easy. One for your thumb and one for...
Looking really great! Nice job on the tunnel. You're making serious progress on that floor.
Ya that's not something I'd be very happy to see either. 2" out of alignment is a lot. It makes me think you should check to make sure your center...
My 1929 project. Hoping to get some primer and paint on it this week. If you're interested in more pictures or details on my build....
Yes it you're right it can be done but you will eventually burn up the field coils. If you don't drive the car much and if you have very low power...
Smart! It's looking really good.
Wow, nice job man! It looks awesome. I know you probably know this but don't forget to put a vent in somewhere.
Wow! You've made some really great progress. Real quality work too. Awesome! This is the build I've been hoping to see since you first told me...
I thought these were pretty cool. These 21" wheels were on the back of a 29 DeSoto Roadster at the Nugget Casino during Bonneville speed week this...
I've got the exact same tail lights. I just made gaskets from a sheet of cork gasket material. You can get the gasket material in different...
Oh really, interesting. That one I should be able to verify pretty easily by checking out an old catalog. Thanks.
Haha ya. Hey I like your pic! I've had an Alliance membership for years but I just wanted to see if anyone would talk to a new guy. I just...
I've seen a couple of pictures of Allstate heads in the past but I didn't realize they were cast iron. I'm guessing that was something sold...
