Imagine the torque rolls it could do with a corncob under the hood.
My uncle used to tow bar his 60 Chevy dirt track car 12 miles to the local track back in the early 70s. Worked fine, just as long as the car...
That's really not as big a deal as it seems. There is one floating around out there with the starter inside the bellhousing, in other words, pull...
Sensors. No problem. The suck is the 20 different modules that all have to be friends in order for the car to do car things. And using...
We see lots of trailer tires like that. Good tread, but the tire life is just plain timed out.
The cab mounts are cut down urethane skateboard wheels. [ATTACH]
If you've ever been to Ishpeming MI......... [ATTACH] But to be fair, it's just yard art.
Man that sucks. I had a fire in the garage last fall. I was lucky I didn't lose the whole works. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] This is what's under mine. No plans other than an idea of how I wanted it to look, and then doing exactly what Anthony posted above....
Remember it's the Ford museum, not a museum of Fords. We were there a few years back. Their steam power collection is awesome.

EGR valve spacer missing?
It can be saved. Dump the Yamaha keyboard stand spoiler and put a new front clip on it.
Fix It Again Tony
A high quality paint job won't have; fish eyes, dry spray, orange peel, sanding scratches, etc, etc. How high of quality you can afford is...
Regarding the balancing. It's crap. Those lead free stick on weights suck, they are way bulky for the weight you get out of them. I would have...
Late models don't use live axles. OP's axle has Wildwood wide five hubs on aluminum axle tubes. Mine. Retired late model rear. Had 12 spline...
I'd like to see the rest of that. Looks like a home made log jammer truck. Those guys got real creative with junk they had laying around to get...
I'd have put a 300 six in the thing.
Other than the horrific front shackles, I kinda like it.
I paid $200 for two them a few years back. Spools and 12 spline axles in both of them, but they were complete. The one with aluminum side bells...
Ridge ream, dingberry hone, cheap re-ring kit from PAW. That's how I did my first engine when I was 15. It ran just fine.
I was liking the orange Vette. But I'm a little biased since the owner of the shop that built it grew up in my local area. But I was expecting...
That's a decent price for a running j5. The body is on backwards though.
I have, but only while searching for my perfect ratio. Turns out a engine with near 600lbs of torque in a 2700 lb vehicle doesn't need much gear....
I have a Frankland with a locker in my truck behind a pretty stout 463" Pontiac. I'm not worried about the rearend. Maybe drag racing with...

When I built my first set for a weird application, I bought a BBC weld up kit from Speedway with a few extra J bends and made my own 3/8" Pontiac...
Build your first set out of mild steel. Odds are once you're finished with them, after awhile there will be something you want to change about...
Ah, the old white chassis paint trick. Haven't seen that in a long time.
